As long as it sounds & goes like a V8 should, then I'm all for it !!

Mind you, I thought hydrogen itself was one of the best greenhouse gases there is (if it leaked, which it will...)



Nope hydrogen is not a greenhouse gas, as far as I know.
(although you wouldn't want it leaking anywhere)

Nope, Hydrogen isn't a greenhouse gas - I think BogBeast must be thinking of methane?

I wonder how they sorted out the power problem on the prototype to the production version.

The prototype ran a very lean fuel mix (to reduce NOX formation) but as a result was only producing 40% of the power of the equivelant sized petrol output.

Of course they were/are using a ford 427 engine that when tuned in its petrol format was putting out 550bhp....
So the H2 one was getting about 200 andsomething hp.

It would be pretty cool to make your own fuel in the garage from 'leccy
