Re: Hydrogen powered cars They would definitely need to devise some sort of safe container, not only because the hydrogen burns quite well, but also because in order to contain enough H2 to fuel a vehicle of today's standards, the hydrogen gas would have to be under considerable pressure.
I personally would stay away from the kit. Hydrogen is still in alpha when it comes to cars.
Close to the topic, toyota made the first hydrogen powered car quite a while ago. Pure hydrogen. But it doesn't use it in a fuel cell engine, the one that is so famous for having water as a by-product. Instead, they burn the hydrogen in a close to conventional way. It is still more efficient than petrol/gas/diesel, but it doesn't reduce emissions by much. What's that about?
Another thing that is over-hyped about hydrogen as an energy source is that it isn't an energy source. It's a storage.
I say that as soon as oil becomes too expensive, people will actually start caring about mileage, and that will start the avalanche
