polley 916 Report post Posted April 29, 2015 Seems like a waste of petrol. You're going to burn more petrol energy generating the hydrogen than you get back from burning the hydrogen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct - otherwise know as the race for Perpetual Motion, you cant make more than you start with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmarco 56 Report post Posted April 29, 2015 Ironically enough, I was on a 100% hydrogen powered bus last weekend (in London). That seems like the perfect application for the fuel cell - quiet, emission free, and has a set route for predictable fill up points. I do wonder how big the tank was & how far they can go on it but it does indeed appear that they are finally at the point of not just being a pipe dream.

aja540i 1906 Report post Posted April 29, 2015 Didnt bmw make a hydrogen powered version of the e38 when they were new? If you were that worried about petrol prices wouldnt you get a 728 instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
