Bmw H2r

Sorry if this is a repost. BMW H2R set nine international speed records for internal combustion powered vehicles using hydrogen as a fuel at the Miramas high-speed Proving Grounds in France. BMW has thus proven its conviction that hydrogen is able to replace conventional fuel without any compromises in terms of performance and emissions.

I believe $10 per litre.
I read that when Shell opened their first hydrogen fillingstation on Iceland.

So hydrogen engines are "basically" the same thing as a gas engine, just the fuel is different ( except slight modifications)?

Wow that is really cool....

v-12 6.0 liter 200hp'ish...

they need to slap a turbo on there...

the fuel is pressureized, it has to make more power than that, unless it isn't pressed into the combustion chamber
