So, I'm doing a presentation today in chemistry, and decided Hydrogen fuel would be a good topic. During my research I came across this..
A hydrogen-powered two-seater unveiled in London this week can seat two, turn in the equivalent of 300 MPG and hit a top speed of 50 mph. Plus, its blueprints are open source. Take that, auto industry
this thing is even OPEN SOURCE, meaning the designer is letting anyone with a bit of engineering knowledge download the source and make changes as they please. This is similar to the way Linux came to be, and if you didn't know, Linux is the operating system that makes the web what it is.. None of these boxes you connect to when posting on HMT, Google, etc. have the counterpart Microsoft server running.
but anyway, check this out.. I want a swap in this fucker.. 700 lbs!

300 miles per gal. is also probably in imperial units. More like 250 here.
How about this? Its diesel.

Car doesnt look bad. It's cool because if the project is open source, big company (read petrol company) can't buy it to stop developpement and/or production.

I wonder what OS Google uses. Probably their own in house stuff.

I value my life more than trying to save a few bucks driving around in something that unsafe. Beef it up to be safe and see how much mpg it gets.

Yep, for buzzing around campus. I wouldn't drive this car on the highway though.

Buzzing 'round campus? Is that what you call looking for gay hobo's to perform random fellatio with?

I'd take one in flat black just like the one pictured. As long as it isn't a complete death trap.

Safe? yeah, because a CRX HF is an 80's Volvo with a roll-cage. Who the fuck cares about safety?
