Anyone know anything about this?

Hydrogen Concept Car

The hydrogen hummer and Shelby Cobra

"The hydrogen Cobra specs include a top speed of 140 mph and 0-60 mph in four seconds. The downside: the hydrogen tank's range is around 80 miles."

"Anuvu, a fuel cell developer in Sacramento, Calif., says it's almost ready to sell Nissan Frontier pickups and large cargo vans that run on fuel cells and hydrogen.

The Frontier's specs include 0-60 mph in 10 seconds and a top speed of 80 mph. At speeds above 45 mph, the battery drains faster than the fuel cell can recharge it, which reduces its 250-mile city range to just 60 miles on the highway.

Sales director Craig Newhouse promises to deliver either of these "CUVs" ? short for Clean Urban Vehicles ? within 120 days of an order. The cost: $99,995 for the pickup and $149,995 for the van."

Yeah I understand that Fuel Cell cars are coming very soon.... but this thing is some sort of less than $30 add-on to your existing vehicle and supposedly... well.... here is a quote of the text from the 2nd ebay link:

The big problem remains: where to buy hydrogen and how much will it cost? Also, how does this affect the safety of the car? Does it make it Pinto-like? I would hate to get into a smack-up with an exploding car.

Sounds like BS.

This isn't about fuel cells or storage of hydrogen.... these things supposedly generate hydrogen on-demand?


This is way over my head :(... but I'm trying to gather some info on it anyway :)

Why did I read MGP?
