If this holds up, I think it is adaptable to cars. If they can just match the energy performance of gasoline, hydrogen is a much better option than any battery.

Hydrogen is more combustible than jetA. Sounds dangerous. I won’t fly on one until Air Force One is so equipped.

" on today's dirty jet fuel"

I thought most fuels included some detergent to keep the engines clean.

Check out the so called Diamond battery. It uses expended nuclear fuel and and diamond dust to generate electricity, has to be recharged ever few thousand years so probably not an option.{:~)

The only thing that would have made this story better is if they somehow snuck in “graphine nanotubes.”

Liquid hydrogen. Kind of like Hindenburg in a can.

The lighter the car, the longer it will take to stop.

If you spill some liquid hydrogen on some asphalt the best thing you can do is step on it.

We will wait a couple of decades before trying this!

Isn’t today’s “science” mostly BS? It’s what you get when you start from false premises.

1) Whatever you do to generate Hydrogen, it won’t be “clean”.

2) Unless you’re going to lug around pure Oxygen, too, any reaction you try with “air” won’t be “clean”, either.

The planes will probably just finally destroy the Ozone layer for good. We can all die of skin cancer, but at least we’ll feel “clean”.

10 years from now, it will still be 10 years asway.

” planes running on today’s ‘’’dirty’’’ jet fuel. “

[Manly Warrior]

Yeah, first you burn dirty cheap and available jet fuel, coal or NG or use hydro or other sources of power to make liquid hydrogen, then you burn it in airliners at much less overall efficiency and voila, a cleaner environment!

Can you whackos follow the pea under the shell?

[zeugma]

Yeah, I can just imagine the results of a car with a liquid hydrogen tank getting rear-ended.
