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.

Before we all get too worked up, let's pause a moment in remembrance of the Hindenburg. Remember, a tank of hydrogen can also be described as a potential bomb.

I could never understand why Nat gas never caught on for cars.

The “explosion” danger is less than that of a gasoline powered car.

The Blimp wasn’t exactly a “tank”. It was a BALLOON.

So potentially are batteries and capacitors.

Energy be Energy.

Don’t EVER try to disobey the Laws of Physics [and Chemistry].

Daimler Benz worked for year to develop a hydrogen powered car. They’ve stopped the research.

Probably WHY after the ATOM Bomb next they came with the HYDROGEN Bomb.
