Default World's fastest hydrogen car

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...mw_hydrogen_dc




BMW's H2R, the world's fastest hydrogen-powered car, was unveiled at the Paris auto show on Wednesday. The car is capable of exceeding 300 kilometers (185 miles) per hour.

Has anyone heard anything else about this? This ---- is crazy! Do you think this is the future?

uts very capale that the electric idea will be dropped and everything will be powered by hydrogen. they ven have a runing hydrogen renesis. hydrogen just seems more likely since you can make it by eectrolosis.

i think the only problem with hydrogen right now is that it's too expensive

and it pollutes more than a gasoline powered car. Its going to be a while before hydrogen is the solution

Says who? The by-products of Hydrogen burning are Water(H2O) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Ah yes the actual motor only produces water as exhaust. However, the refinement process to get the pure hydrogen that powers that engine requires alot of power and causes more pollution than a gasoline car based on the big picture.

Actually, your not really burning the hydrogen so the only biproduct is water, there is no carbon dioxide produced since there isn't a combustion reaction.
