This is the real deal. It is NOT a hybrid. This is the Honda FCX Clarity. It is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell which generates energy to run the electric motor so the only emissions coming out from the exhaust is, water. The 'new' Prius is now obsolete. If you wanted to make a real fashion statement Mr Di Caprio, you could have just bought one of these instead of 3 'Priuses'.

Of course Singapore doesn't have one of these yet but this car drives as any Honda would, and it looks better than the Prius too. The cost of hydrogen is approximately the same as petrol, at least in the US, but unlike petrol, it can never run out since hydrogen is infinitely available throughout the entire universe! One tank of compressed hydrogen has a range of about 435km and the motor generates a 136bhp. 25.6km/l. Bugger off Prius.

Luckily and ironically, the biggest petrol-head of all time Jay Leno does think this is the future for cars. This is the 'saviour for our sports cars' according to him and that stars drive the Prius mainly because they think that they have the 'moral superiority' that they are 'saving the earth'. Well done Jay Leno, you are the only smart Hollywoodian. Sadly though, this is only available in California for now.

Perhaps Hydrogen does exists infinitely, but cheap sources of hydrogen is not...

 

Hydrogen fuel does not occur naturally on Earth and thus is not an energy source, but is an energy carrier. It can be made from a number of sources, currently it is most frequently made from methane or other fossil fuels. Hydrogen production via electrolysis of water is generally inefficient and expensive and is rarely used.

Problems with fuel cell technology :

 

1) Fuel cell cost

 

Currently, hydrogen fuel cells are costly to produce and are fragile. Engineers are studying how to produce inexpensive fuel cells that are robust enough to survive the bumps and vibrations that all automobiles experience.

 

 

2)Freezing conditions

 

Temperatures below freezing (32

Hey bro...nice entry but perhaps you should put a name to this latest science project from Honda for the benefit of other readers? It's the Honda FCX if I'm not mistaken...

  • 10 sweet wedding songs

    Two months ago, I listed 10 songs that had no business being played at a wedding. Many were about the inability to move on after a breakup or worse: Songs sung from the perspective of a third party! So, this time around, it's time to highlight 10 songs that can be played on the first day of a couple's married life. 10) All Of You - Julio Iglesias & Diana Ross This song is clearly about someone who wants everything that the love of their life has to offer. It is well
