Before I retired 24 years ago, I was aware that BMW--
among others--was exploring a
hydrogen-powered car.
This evening, I was watching cars racing separately against the clock at the Goodwood racetrack in Britain. A silent car was among the contenders. It was the
Hyperion HP-4. Checking Google for the HP-
4, I was directed to the Hyperion HP-
1 instead.
'Turns out, there are several hydrogen-powered HP-1 cars circulating in California, where a
1000-mile range is expected.
Lightweight tanks meter hydrogen gas, whereupon oxygen from the ambient air is mixed with it for electric power. "Pollution" consists only of water droplets.
Zero to 60 in two seconds!
