Solar-Hydrogen-Ammonia Tractor Goes Live on Iowa Farm
A team led by Jay Schmuecker has created a hydrogen-ammonia
tractor upon an Iowa farm plus a whole solar system to provide the fuel.
This incredible new system could be a game-changer for
everyone. It’s the definition of modern thinking put into a slick renewable
system. You can check out a System
Schematic drawing of the system itself, and learn about each and every one
of its unique and impressive sub-systems.
For example, the whole system is going to run on the use of
three two-degree-of-freedom solar trackers, each using 12 solar panels, able to
produce a whopping 8.1kW of energy. The daily power available from the panels
is roughly enough, but any power that is left over will be fed into the grid.
From the Solar Hydrogen System website: “Dennis was
interested in having a tractor that he would use under full power in the field
rather than just to drive in parades. Because of the limited hydrogen
generated, our hydrogen tractor is capable of being used for 10% of the farm
operations.
“I started out assuming that I could obtain a diesel tractor
and have it modified to run on hydrogen. Companies are working on having
diesels run on hydrogen, but are years away from having a product. New Holland
has developed an award-winning fuel cell powered tractor, but the costs of
obtaining a tractor powered by fuel cells is prohibitive. We contacted the Hydrogen Engine Center (HEC)
in Algona, Iowa, who has been making Internal Combustion Engines that are
modified to run on hydrogen gas. They agreed to provide a Ford 460 cu. in. V-8
engine design that could be installed in a tractor and used in the field. We
selected and purchased a John Deere 7810 tractor. The four hydrogen tanks are
sized to contain enough fuel to operate the tractor at full power for four
hours before refueling.”
whole system is capable of producing renewable gas, for
example, by using water from a nearby well that flows through a deionizer. This
then puts it through a hydrogen generator, and a nitrogen generator, meaning
that pure nitrogen can be produced which is flowed directly into the nitrogen
pump.
The oxygen is then vented out and the hydrogen will flow
into the storage tanks, while the nitrogen will flow into the ammonia shed,
where it goes through a compression period and is kept in the nitrogen storage
tank.
It’s also got a very impressive hydrogen pump assembly,
allowing for a continuous state of production to continue on. With tanks as
large as 1000-gallon in size, they can certainly control and maintain a huge
amount of the resources currently being produced by the farm.
Of course, no system like this could ever be built without
guarantees that it would be safe to spend time around. With the respectful use
of their equipment, especially the ammonia, there is an easy way to help maintain
and control the whole state of the system. This is one of the many reasons why,
for many, this project looks to be one of the most interesting of its kind.
Not only is the whole system so widely and intelligently
connected, but it’s made to help deliver the right levels of safety, security
and consistency. In a world where we need to see more work done to combat the
damage we’ve produced to the environment, green-minded solutions like this very
much make sense.
According to Jay Schmuecker, “My late father was an advocate
of using hydrogen to replace fossil fuels.
Ten years ago I started a project on the Iowa farm where he was born to
make demonstration amounts of hydrogen,
nitrogen, and ammonia from solar power, water and air. There are no carbon emissions in either the
generation or consumption of these elements and fuels. The hydrogen and ammonia are used to fuel my
tractor, and the ammonia can be applied as a fertilizer.
“Five years ago I took delivery of my John Deere 7810 tractor in which was installed a Ford 460 V-8 block modified to 9.6 liter
with a 13.5 to 1 compression ratio. The
hydrogen is injected into the spark ignited cylinders, and the engine will
also run on a combination of about 10 %
hydrogen and 90% ammonia.
“Ammonia is an excellent hydrogen carrier. As a liquid it can be stored in 200 psi tanks where hydrogen uses 3000 psi or more tanks to
store the gas. As with gasoline there
are safety concerns with ammonia, Iowa
farmers are used to working with ammonia as they apply it to their corn fields
as a fertilizer.”
There you have it. I’ve talked about hydrogen
fueled tractors before. But this farm tractor and system bring the game to
a whole new level.

Greetings from San Luis
Obispo, California! 2018 was another amazing year here at British Sports Cars.

you to our dedicated crew that go above and beyond to make all this happen. We’re

and its collective knowledge.
Car sales have been very
good this year with over one hundred cars sold, and many collector cars gaining
in value and desirability. The collector car market has been strong for several
years now and is continuing to hold strong. That said, now is a great time to
sell your car if you desire. We have been seeing record sales prices as well as
quick sales largely due to our ever-expanding internet presence and our email

As well as servicing modern and classic British cars, we’ve been hard at work on some really nice restoration projects. One in particular is this 1975 Triumph TR6 that we just completed a restoration on. This was a really fun project that came out beautiful, and most of all, our client absolutely loves it. This was a car that he purchased nearly-new and he’s over the moon to have it back on the road again in pristine condition. We’re hard at work with several other restorations right now. Please be sure to visit our blog to follow us as we bring these cars back to life. You also can hop on over and like us on Facebook where we announce new posts on all ongoing restoration projects.
We hope everyone has a great 2019. We look forward to hearing from you all in the future. And now…enjoy the slideshow!

G11/G12 BMW 7 Series Facelift – World Debut – Massive Photo Gallery
The G11/G12 BMW 7 Series of the current generation has received a new look for the facelift version, and the biggest changes can be seen at the exterior of the car where the oversized grilles can be seen immediately, the front bumper with the design of the BMW Vision Future Luxury Concept, the tail lights behind the car are joined together by an illuminated line using LED technology. The tail lights use the L shape seen on the new G20 BMW 3 Series and in my opinion it’s a better design.
Inside, small aesthetic improvements can be seen, among which the most striking improvement is the new instrument cluster design that is used in the new generation of BMW X5, G20 3 Series, Z4, respectively the all-new 8 Series. Some changes have been introduced to the control side of the safety systems where the buttons have been repositioned. The steering wheel has also received minor modifications and the infotainment system is represented by the new iDrive 7.
A special advantage is that this facelifted BMW 7 Series can be personalized to the liking of the customers and can be fitted with the complete M package using Nappa top quality leather upholstery in several nuances that are part of the Exclusive range.
G11/G12 BMW 7 Series Facelift with M Sport Package – Gallery
Nappa leather interior, or Merino leather interior, feature 6 nuances, the latter being present in the BMW Individual collection. The interior can be accessorized with the best quality elements of wood, or even metal.
The new facelift of the BMW 7 Series is more than just a facelift and has brought great design and functionality improvements to match its rivals, Audi and Mercedes, with their models Audi A8 and Mercedes S Class. BMW has made a little bigger changes in order to “revive” the sales of this model until the new generation of the BMW 7 Series will be launched shortly.
The BMW 7 Series Facelift is 22mm longer than the non-facelift version, its width and height remaining the same size.
The Executive Lounge package offers the most luxurious package of this model and offers the following options: comfort seats with massage and ventilation for all passengers, air conditioning on 4 zones and rear passengers will have an infotainment system made of two 10-inch screens and a 7-inch tablet.
The interior is much better soundproofed and the windows are a bit thicker than the non facelift version, which gives the car a bigger comfort. As far as emissions are concerned, this model is in the Euro6 standard.
The G11/G12 BMW 7 Series facelift comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission with minor updates.
Below you can find pictures of the official images received from the fellows at BMW Group and we look forward to your impressions regarding this facelifted G11/G12 BMW 7 Series, if you are happy with the improvements made to this facelift or not. See you next time!
