I think its interesting to see how people are using hydrogen technology to create engines.. I saw the new Ford Focus having one and now children's scooters.

 

"Mr. Josef Zeitler from Speinshart (Germany) has under the name „AQWON“ presented the world's first two stroke engine motor bike running on hydrogen with TUEV expertise and approval. The engine is based on a conventional 50 cm3 type. Hydrogen is stored in a hydride tank which can be filled up by non-specialists in three or four minutes. The contents are enough for a ride of about 100 km. The maximum speed is 50 km/h, the power output 2.6 kW. With a price around 5600 €, low maintenance costs, and no emissions at all the vehicle is expected to be competitive. Its first public presentation will be on the Hannover Fair. "

 

"Opel

Opel is now testing the new fuel cell prototype HydroGen 3. Its distinctive feature is the absence of the heave buffer battery. The full volume of the baggage compartment is now available. Most important is that the whole drive train can now be pre-assembled completely. The module with a weight of about 300 kg can be delivered to the assembly line like a classical motor and be mounted just as in the case of the usual "marriage". The motor delivers 60 kW, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 16 s further up to a maximum of 160 km/h. The ranges are between 270 and 400 km, depending on the tank system. (General Motors press release of 15. December 2002)"
