Ok, have you or anyone you know built one of these in the last decade? If it is easy to build, and effective I would like to observe and emulate.  Any video evidence existing today that I could study?

Hasn’t the barrier to hydrogen fuel adoption always been the extreme flammability of hydrogen? Remember the Hindenburg…

There has been talk about hydrogen vehicles at various points in 20th and 21st centuries, but never any commercial success. Not that I am saying it could not be done. Just that it is not a secret or forgotten technology so much as one that has been investigated repeatedly but not yet successfully developed.

Hasn’t the barrier to hydrogen gasoline fuel adoption always been the extreme flammability of hydrogen gasoline? Remember the Hindenburg Pinto…

Portability, density, seem far more plausible. Lot more to the hydrogen story, be my guess.

Have to add, plenty of horrific tragedy over the years with gasoline. Never slowed a profitable idea.

Yep.  You hit that nail squarely on the head.   Fossil fuel companies dominating the messaging and our country is swallowing this hook, line and sinker.  Department of Energy says no more renewables.  Higher power bills for the common man as a result? but unlimited power for AI data centers, hmm.
Ya can't make this stuff up
A very odd time we are in
