I'm not a H2 or ethanol people. I am a promoter of fuel cell research and applications. Your are a H2 and ethanol naysayer, but you don't even seem to know the difference between a 3 phase electric industrial stationary motor and a DC motor designed for use in automotive power. Wonder why I have a hard time trying to "accept it" when you propose it?
You are going to see fuel cell technology developed and put to use in the near future. What form the fuel will end up being in is currently under research (my personal preference is natural gas, for a number of reasons). Whether fuel cells will end up powering vehicles, I have no way of knowing but I think that will most likely be one of the applications, maybe not the first. I would like to see the United States be the leader in this industry rather than having to beg it off of some other (possibly enemy) nation.
It was all I could find, but feel free to find specs on any DC automotive motor you want. The locomotive motors used to pull trains would probably be similar, but I couldn't find any specs for those either. Knock yourself out.
Yep my knowledge of thermodynamics puts me firmly in this camp

Yeah right. I've been hearing this since the early '70s Fuel cell/fusion/you name it miracle technology is just around the corner. Well the corner never arrives.
Tell you what I have a limited supply of these pills where you fill your gas tank with water and drop in the pill and you can run on that. If you're interesed I'll let you have them at a very good price and throw in my super duper molecular aligner that enables you to get 80 miles per gallon (it uses a catalyst and an automotive fuel injector, and I'm not sure why it works so well).
