  • More on hydrogen cars...

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>The website looks like a 3rd grader developed it. You sure this is a legit company? You would think that if they could build hydrogen cars before any of the large corporations they could have a decent web page.</div>

It's a legitamite company. It still might be a scam, but the company has a paper trail - EPA and NRC documents.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Well, the page claims that you can generate their hydrogen fuel yourself for no cost, which means the price/mile for hydrogen, assuming everything works the way they say it will, would be zero.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>"As an example, it takes over 2 days of our generator running at full power, 24 hours a day, to fill our smallest "short range" tank."

At least they're not trying to sell it like it's fast, easy, or even all that convenient (although it should take you longer to drive 300 miles than it would to refill the storage tank at that rate). Of course, absolutely nothing can be proven just from this site, but they do seem to be being at least somewhat realistic about it.

I'm not saying I accept it as gospel truth, I'm just more willing to admit that it might be possible than you seem to be.
