I've personally seen this car at a carshow in Amsterdam...(AutoRai)

It's a internal combustion engine that works on hydrogen and the exhaust is....... water!!!

I've known about this kind of engine for a few year's now Old new's to me They should make that kind of engine a requirement since it's cleaner than gas :p

I heard on the radio last week that a car will be in production by the end of the year (in France I think) that runs on air.
It can do 125m before it needs a top up or can be 'refuelled' at home in about 4 hours.
Apparently - the air that is expelled is cleaner than it was before use.

BTW - that hydrogen engine was running in trials in public transport vehicles somewhere in Canada perhaps as long as 2 years ago now, but I never followed up its progress, so can't say how it went.

Agreed! Except you just know that the oil companies will do their best to supress it or discredit it into oblivion. Even though the technology for it is pretty old news, why do you think it's taken this long to get it so far along in trials & production? And even then, it still hasn't gotten that far in the US...
