Of course you CAN run a car on hydrogen. Be pretty much the same style conversion as for CNG, Propane, or LNG. My major malfunction with it is, the systems touted for cars/trucks don't generate enough hydrogen to make a whit of difference. I would LOVE to see the system that guy has in his boat though, and how IT is powered...... I note that a 23 foot boat can only carry three passengers......

lol I would also love a glimpse...and their youtube vid does show two dudes and two chicks....it also costs....nearly $330k

heres where i found it im sure there are other places http://boatsafe.wordpress.com/2012/0...rom-the-water/

its the production of hydrogen by the self made generator that i am interested in seeing if i can work on and make viable....so thats what the project will be all about is production capacity.

That's a very nice boat, and the cost is not out of the realm of things. Out here people can burn through $400+ a day on gas(depending on the boat that is), so the cost would not be to long to recover.

$400 a day...if ran 180 days $72000 if 90 days $36000...so yeah 5-10 years an you get your purchase price back...factor in the avg cost of a boat like that plus fuel for the year and you make it all back in 1-2 years..

All I can think about during this whole thread is the amount of branding on your truck.

Also your trying way to hard, I want to see your proof not words. Sure hydrogen engines have been around forever, but if anybody could spend a few days in the garage to make there gas guzzling 318 into a 20mpg fuel saver, dont you think they would have done it by now? Please prove me wrong and show me the error of my ways. Untill then your just trolling bro. I know your gonna try and think of some witty overly intellectual comeback but please just prove me wrong. I want 20+ mpg in my dodge just like every one else.
Seems to me like it would be cheaper to just make a 25mpg+ diesel though.
Keep it simple.
