H2 Trailer

In the film H2 we take a promising look at the solutions that hydrogen can offer in the reduction of CO2 emissions. To get answers to our questions we follow Jim Hoogmoed, Team manager Eco Runner team of the Technical University in Delft as he and his lead his team to design,built and test the most efficient hydrogen car Eco Runner 5 for the Eco Marathon competition. We talk to the automobile industry to companies like Hyundai to see if they see a future using hydrogen cars . We talk to Professor Ad van Wijk an hydrogen expert who shares with us his vision on Hydrogen as a power source, not only for cars, but also for housing and some amazing discoveries to reduce CO2 emissions world wide with the use of the fuel cell and hydrogen. Receiving input from Steven van Eijck, chairman RAI association, and his opinion on fuel cell powered cars H2 is a film with hope and solutions for the now and the future by use of the Fuel Cell

A future without Power Plants

Centrale Hemweg

 In April Professor Ad van Wijk told in an interviewed for our documentary  H2 that he envisions a future where Hydrogen cars could provide the required electricity  to replace the power plants a future without power plants.  To make his invision his vision we filmed  Saturday 6 September a power plant in Amsterdam and with some special effect  in post  the power plant disappears

Test drive and hydrogen fuel up with Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell

 For the Pure Media documentary  H2 we filmed the test drive off a Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell we drove up to the first hydrogen tank station in the Netherlands and fueled up the car to over 700 bar with 1.78 kg of hydrogen good for another 460 km free CO2 emissions driving.

 For our documentary H2 Steven van Eijck chairman RAI association was willing to answer some questions.  The location was the RAI Amtrium, the latest flexible and sustainable conference,  meeting and office space on the north side of Amsterdam just opened in June 2015.

Good to see that the Rai is having  a sustainable offices building and that Steven van Eijck was so positive about the H2 car.He came with some good suggestions how we can move forward to a more sustainable way of transport.

Eco Runner had the least air resistance in the world

Wind resistance test Eco Runner

After exciting months of preparation this week it was time to find out if the Eco runner is the most economical runner Eco hydrogen vehicle? The wind tunnel test had already shown that the Eco Runner had the least air resistance in the world. After a week turning laps around the Ahoy in Rotterdam  Eco Runner turned out to be the big winner. This is a nice addition to our documentary  H2 where we followed the preparations of the team from TU Delft

H2 car as powerplant

On Wednesday the 22nd of April Puur Media was on the premises of the Delft University of Technology for the upcoming documentary H2. In a  a house which is used for researching sustainability. We  interviewed the founder of future Green village and professor Ad van Wijk. 

Professor Ad van Wijk and filmmaker Benny Vink

 The beginning of the Green Village is this sustainable house

Ad van Wijk shared about different energy solutions based around hydrogen cars and how they differ from cars that run on fossil fuels and how they can complement electric cars which run on batteries. He  envisions a future where hydrogen cars play an important role in sustainable living. Hydrogen cars could provide the required electricity  to replace the power plants.

Professor van Wijk filmed by Benny Vink

After the interview, we dropped by the Ecorunner team in the Dream Hall. Filmmaker Benny Vink briefly looked back with Jim Hoogmoed (Team Manager) and Stefan Leegwater (Chief Engineer) on last week's events. They had had a busy week measuring the the air resistance of the Ecorunner 5, as well as the unveiling of their car for sponsors and family. After testing  a few days, we found out that their vehicle has the least air resistance in the world. After getting some rest, they  are  busy preparing for the race.

Eco Runner Team Delft in documentaire H2

Eco runner 5

H2 our documentary we follow a group of enthusiastic students of the Technical
University of Technology who participate in a competition against other universities.
With the aim of who has the most economical hydrogen vehicle designed and built.

In recent months they have been working on the design of the Eco Runner 5
calculation suggest that this could be  the best air resistance in the world.

To see if these calculation are correct the Eco Runner  was places 5 in a wind tunnel to measure the exact air resistance.

It's  was a fun and inspiring  day of film and the recordings are a beautiful addition to the movie H2

Control room next to the wind tunnel where all measurement data arrives

With smoke is very good to see how the air moves over the vehicle.

The smoke particles can remain behind on the vehicle and cause air 
resistance is therefore after the smoke test it is  thoroughly cleaned
