Check this video out, it features the could-be-reality Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle from Honda.

That is so cool, its only emission is water. Drinkable water at that...

 

available for lease in 2009 I think?

 

Well, not to be a party pooper but until we find a better way to produce hydrogen these cars are useless. Our current way to mass produce hydrogen is by way of smokestacks which will cause as much if not more pollution then running fossil fuels. You can also do it with Electrolysis but that would also require massive amounts of electricty -> pollution.

Cool concept though.

 

or...could they find a way to extract the hydrogen from water?

 

Both the process above are used on water to extract the hydrogen. I think the smokestacks use some sort of filters and burn coal real hot to get the hydrogen. And Electrolysis is the process of separating H from water useing electricity.



And water is all over the place so if they can perfect a process that would kick ass!

 

Crazy dashboard!

 

hopefully they will bring the startrek aspect down to earth and clean up the looks more. right now it doesnt look like anything i would ever want to pay money for.

 

I am interested in the price.
