Side impact in 3..2..1..
Okay, that's cool, but how does one get the hydrogen?
It isn't mined or pumped out of the ground. It has to be made. How?
"Hydrogen is industrially produced from steam reforming, which uses fossil fuels such as natural gas, oil, or coal. The energy content of the produced hydrogen is less than the energy content of the original fuel ..... Steam reforming leads to carbon dioxide emissions, in the same way as a car engine would do.
A small part (4% in 2006) is produced by electrolysis using electricity and water, consuming approximately 50 kilowatt-hours of electricity per kilogram of hydrogen produced."
In other words, Hydrogen cars still run on fossil fuels.
Zero emissions? Well, if you don't count the water vapor which is a worse greenhouse gas than CO2. -

And to add to what DougM said,
A production model can be yours for only $248,000 (cameras and LED's extra) and comes standard with a 200 mile range at 35mph, far superior to the Chevrolet Volt.
For an over 400 mile range, the F-cell can be fitted with a 10,000 psi hydrogen tank instead of the standard 5,000 psi tank at extra cost. See your dealer, banker, bomber and insurance supplier for details.
PS - What doesn't make a sound when running, but a huge bang when it stops suddenly?
The Mercedes F-cell.

Zero emissions, zero practicality. Hey, it's no volt.

Fossil fuel???
Say, what kind of fossils turned into all this hydrocarbon on planet Jupiter? Neptune?
Another myth by OPEC, such as global warming, etc...
A way better idea, have liquid propane injected past the turbo in a diesel engine...it's already in widespread use.

Been wanting a Mercedes since I got done slinging papers and started cooking chicken in the early '70s. I'm now making in the 6 figures, and I WANT THAT CAR.

As a corollary note, Chevy Volt production has been halted... Temporarily to get inventories in line with demand....
I assume they will start up again next fall...

This isn't a bad technology.
It still uses diesel, an extremely compact fuel. It just uses it more efficiently for commuting, by converting the diesel into stored electricity overnight.
A very efficient commuting vehicle. -

How to produce hydrogen? Wait for it... here it comes... ALGAE!
It turns out that algae is the bacon of the plant kingdom. There is nothing it can't do!

Biohydrogen reactors use a method of photobiological water splitting which is done in a closed photobioreactor based on the production of hydrogen by algae. Algae produce hydrogen under certain conditions. -

Wouldn't this make for excellent military uniforms?

There is a totally impractical uniform made out of masses of fiber optical cables: light from one side of the uniform travels thru the cables which are bent around the soldier and comes out slightly distorted on the other side. In a sense, you can see right thru the soldier. Any dirt that blocks cables would cause drop outs in the image. Any weapons carried would be visible.
