Toyota and Yamaha are developing a hydrogen-powered V-8 to demonstrate how internal-combustion engines can survive in a world without fossil fuels.Unlike the hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain used in the Toyota Mirai, in which hydrogen is used to generate electricity, this prototype engine simply burns hydrogen in place of gasoline, leaving water as...
Actually this has been going on for several decades. There are some real problems with using hydrogen. Many have been solved and standards developed by CFCP (a partnership with most automakers and many more companies). One of the biggest technical hurdles is what to do with the by product which is water. Sounds easy but it would make the roads wet all the time and be a real issue in cold weather forming black ice everywhere.Toyota and Yamaha are developing a hydrogen-powered V-8 to demonstrate how internal-combustion engines can survive in a world without fossil fuels.Unlike the hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain used in the Toyota Mirai, in which hydrogen is used to generate electricity, this prototype engine simply burns hydrogen in place of gasoline, leaving water as...
