Where does the hydrogen come from? Australia, I expect - getting it through customs is more trouble than it's worth :-) The trouble with hydrogen is that it's rather difficult to store to take with you - either you need some very big cylinders to put it in, or you need an absorber (which is quite heavy) or to make it VERY cold so that it can be transported as a liquid. For this reason we're not likely to see many hydrogen powered vehicles soon. For more information check out sci.energy.hydrogen Mercedes seem to be managing it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/3323527.stm |
