OK this thing is VERY cool. That said Honda’s FCX is already here. I hope I don’t come off as a crazy conspiracy theorist. But, we are being happily controlled Wychowski Brothers Matrix Style. By those that seek to turn a profit and keep the machine running smoothly. The powers that be are afraid. The internet has done exactly what it was intended to do. Bring us all together to think for ourselves. Here we ALL have a voice. Be it Pro or Con. We HAVE OUR VOICE. This is good. See, this technology has been available oh say, 1950’s when GM bought out the Patent and shelved it. Now that Patent’s life has run out. And we are seeing things like the H Racer the FCX from Honda even BMW and Mercedes have a version. As usual American car manufacturers are lagging behind. But, fair competition will weed out the non survivors. This is the last Hoorah for Big Oil, but….Maybe NOT. The Sheer COST of implementing a Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure is needless to say ENORMOUS. So we are being charged accordingly to cover the costs. Trillions of Dollars in Oil Profit going toward refitting all traditional fossil fuel refueling stations into H2 Solar Refueling centers. So that THEY can charge US for what we already pay for in our homes. Or honestly what falls freely from the sky. Honestly most people don’t know or don’t care. I for one hope and pray for the sake of all of us that we wake up before its too late. That we ALL take an active roll in at least making our voices heard letting the CORPS. know that hell, there is gold in them thar hills! If WE create the demand for it and quit buying Gasoline vehicles. They will quit making them.
But, in the end…..It is up to US to make that change. If we keep buying them. There will be no need for them to change. WE have to make that change for them. It truly is WE THE PEOPLE.

u people need to wake up and smell the coffee ,even if they start mass producing hydrogen automobiles and we could make it for 25 cents a gallon they would make us pay at least 2 to 3 dollars a gallon why because there money hungry. thats why the government got rid of the GM’s EV1 because they know we can make our own electricity such as solar. they dont want u to get ahead in the world they want to own u.. its starting to be a comunest country… until we get mr war crazy george bush out of office and stop this war this is going to continue.
people need to just stay home dont buy anymore gas than u have to.and gas would go down. i mean i know u have to work but dont go on vacation dont mow your lawn.. u would be supprised how much gas americans use in a year just mowing there lawn and go back to the old routine dont buy gas on SUNDAYS…if we would work together we could beat this. there a saying that i always use ALONE WE CAN MOVE HILLS BUT TOGETHER WE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS….

This is amazing! I can’t wait until they come up with a hydrogen car

man i gotta get one of those

i just got one today on ebay or like 40 dollars and its so cool. its an amazing peice of technology that showcases our futre transportation possibilites. A real on eof these bad boys would have a lot of advantages. You could travel further on one tank of gas, you wouldn’t have to depend on forign oil companies or any oil companies for that matter. The car would be super clean with zero pollutants and also very quite. and since it generates its own electricity it doesn’t take all nigh tto overcharge like other elctric cars. Its also safer. And in case you were wondering there is no way to control it. Its not much of a toy but a really cool gadget. And thomas since you are getting one keep in mind that you have to eliminate all other gases from the car. This means to leave the elctrolosis running a few secounds and use the syringe to suck air out of the tank and fuel cell. Also if it stops running just take a little of the gas out and the air will leave with it.

I am going to get one next week and i have read a lot on it and it looks good.

well the concept is really very kool, an since i didnt get a chance to ride one of it am really regretting for it.the design is appealing and its a nice way to bring awareness in peoples mind abt the benefits of this car.

[...] This thing is awesome and at $80 bucks it is pretty affordable too. The car runs on hydrogen and even comes with its’ own solar-powered hydrogen refueling station. The vehicle is emission free and a working replica of the technology being developed for full size cars. [...]

How do you control the toy,can it go left right and reverse??Is it fast?

where can i get one the cheapest?

Plz reply!

Guys,

Got one of these from my brother as an early Cristmas present. As long as
you purge the air from the system, it seems to work pretty well.

It will never be a “racer”, but that’s not the point is it?
The hydrogen fill up is very quick on the batteries, but takes longer on
the solar cell. Mine seems to work well enough to demonstrate the concept
very well. The question(beyond toys), is whether it translates to the real world.

Definitely fun!

Cheers, dave

well i think that the concept of the toy provided all the details. it uses solar panels to process the hydrogen for the fuel. then we don’t really need fossil fuels. i think the oil producing nations and companies are really the ones impeding the development of this type of cars and engines, so sad.

If this toy works, i want one. When it comes to hydrogen as fuel for larger vehicles i think we should be burning it, not to making fuel cells out of it. Think about it, hydrogen is the most abundunt element in the universe, and it burns. Governments should be investing in finding ways to produce and store hydrogen safely and without using fossil fuels. Then we could all have our internal combustion engines and and cleaner air.

Can anyone say “gimick”? Or, “You’re a TOY!!” And, no your’e not likely to build a person-carrying rubber-band-powered ornithopter, either. And the “government” isn’t the problem. Governments build harbors, bridges, highways, dams, space shuttles and other large commons-owned facilities that are simply not within reach of typical capital markets. And often they do that imperfectly, whether democratically elected or not.
The FUEL CELL technology that the hydrogen-storage system (its not really a fuel, its an energy storage and transfer system) still is not capable, from a long shot, of producing energy transfers efficiently. Look to biodiesel and other renewables for a more real-world, green, sustainable approach(check out the Audi diesel that won the LeMans and Sebring endurance races this year – now THATS a cool design — which, ironically, it appears our little H2 toy is trying to emulate in its body design and proportions).
