the 4 cylinder ranger engines were extremely versatile when adapted to alternative fuels. this sounds like an interesting company

I thought hydrogen was to be used in a fuel cell, and not an internal cumbustion engine.

Don't get your hopes up. If that's an old Ford 300 cu. in. inline six it could run 100 hours on sand, sulfuric acid and nitroglycerin.

I invested everything I had in Hydrogen in 1973, remember the "Hydrogen Homestead" good ol Roger didn't lose a dime, all of us "Investors" lost everything, this is just a second fleecing.
Most of the story is Bunk
Hydrogen is good for Energy Cells but it destroys regular Internal Combustion Engines, even regular Gas Stoves run on Hydrogen fail in just a few years.
Just my 2 cents

I don't understand the point.
Where does the hydrogen come from?
Hyrdogen production these days is quite expensive - and still uses other fuels to produce.

If they can get us off foreign energy sources, then more power to them.

i don't think people are going to rush out and buy "environmentally friendly" forklift motors. Besides, they run on propane already.
And what's with the name "Hydrogen Engine," a company that is trying to make engines that burn alternative fuels including hydrogen?

hopes to meet Environmental Protection Agency automotive 2007 emission standards.Crisis in a nutshell. Edison had no EPA. His inventions were at first crude and inefficient. His first light bulb was very inefficient. Gradually it was perfected.... wthout an EPA. True of most inventors.

I bookmarked this thread when I was out of town and just remembered it. The ping's obviously a bit late, but I think it's a very intriguing article, so here it is!

How about a vehicle with a toilet in place of the driver's seat? Runs on your own crap.
