Wellit could be very environmentally successful in decreasing the number of cars on the roads... or at least the number of moving cars with living drivers.

The greatest idea to do with motoring recently has been Honda's Hydrogen powered car, called the FCX Clarity.
What it does is that the Hydrogen is stored in a Hydrogen Fuel Cell where the petrol tank would normally be. This is then mixed with oxygen, which causes a part in the motor to move and generate electricity, which drives the wheels. Unlike crappy electric cars, like the G-Wiz, this one is remarkably similar to other cars in terms of mileage, speed etc.

The difference being that the only emission is water. There are no gases released into the atmosphere. Also, it means that the water can be stored in another tank and emptied during a fuel stop, which can then supply more Hydrogen. So technically, the Hydrogen would never run out as it isn't being burnt, which means that the car would be environmentally friendly, and it would be a viable, if necessary option when oil runs out. The only bad news is that the FCX is only available in America atm. My idea for a business is to start a Hydrogen car business for the UK and possibly Europe as well.
I used to do actual stuff around here, don't you know?

I would be ever so grateful if you would visit my YouTube Channel :)

I'd hate to see a hydrogen car in a crash with a petrol car though. It's blow half the motorway up. :(

The safety stuff around the fuel cells is pretty good - they'd never have legalised the car if it was much more dangerous than a petrol equivalent.

I'm also sort of a bit more active and back now too. Been drowning under mountains of computing coursework this past few months.

Marcus

SotK, tell me about it. I've not done as much as I would have liked because of coursework. (Although more than I have time for. :P)

Note: the 'Good Noos' thing at the top of the site will eventually turn into a news box, so don't worry about it's presence.
