http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7456141.stm This is absolutely the best news I've heard in a long time - hopefully governments and forecort owners/developers will put in more hydrogen stations
If this car becomes available easily and cheaply, it would greatly reduce the world's reliance on oil.
You still need power to create the hydrogen. In today's world, this power is derived from nuclear, coal, or oil. Until we build a whole lot of nuclear power plants, we as a species are still dependent upon fossil fuels.
Very interesting, only thing I dont like about it is, it has a fuel tank like a gasoline car. What they should do is make an onboard hydrogen generator and use standard 4 stroke engines, but thats just my opinion.
What would you use to power the hydrogen generator without violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
Genepax car is better. That car will fail. See that honda still needs to go through the whole hydrogen process. The genepax skips everything just runs off of water and air. I believe honda is trying to make it where we stay have to pay $$$ to run our cars. Genepax can run off of rain water, sea water, water from your hose!
The Genepax still needs "chemicals" to produce that hydrogen. The one thing we all need to remember here is this: TANSTAAFL.

Are you sure? I haven't read much about it. But I know genepax just skips the whole process of hydrogens. It doesn't need a hydrogen reformer. You maybe right maybe later i'll look more into it.
I prefer this shapeshifting BMW myself: http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/aut...onary-Model;_ylt=AoVqmEjVS__vlj0WESilWQUazJV4
Fabric covered cars! Awsome! ...funny that 'chain reaction' was on TV last night; this is a film about getting the hydrogen out of water... there's a classic line where one of the scientists says "we're getting out more than we put in"... which of course is the holy grail - we still need to crack producing hydrogen cheaply!
We keep running into that pesky Second Law of Thermodynamics. Really though, a more practical solution is to use clean safe Nuclear Power to generate electricity and then use that electricity to create hydrogen. This will not only make us less dependent upon foreign oil and save us massive amounts of money, it will also save thousands of lives every year due to reduced emissions from coal-fired power plants.
lol Nuclear Power Car.. never thought of that. I think that would be too expensive and toooooooo DANGEROUS.
Nooo... we use nuclear power to create electricity. You know, like on The Simpsons. Then we use that electricity to separate hydrogen from water. Then we use that hydrogen in our cars.
Toshiba's newest generation of small nuclear power generators is as small as 6x20', but that's still the size of a full-size semi. See Toshiba Builds 100x Smaller Micro Nuclear Reactor
