   Cool looking car.
   Just wondering about the several "electric fires" where the owners were able to exit their vehicles before they really burned vs what would happen if a hydrogen tank was punctured. Although I did see a video recently of someone that was storing the hydrogen in some kind of lithium matrix where it was only release when heated.
   I hope they continue to pursue and add it to the mix..

   He cited 100 kilowatts output. I only used 116 kilowatt-hours on last months electric bill for my home. If this fuel cell can put out 100kw in an hour, it may mean there should be one or two powering every home.
   
   Wouldn't it be neat if the car fuel cell could power your home when you are at home, and power your car when you are away (the house changes over to solar or grid). I wonder what the expected duty cycle and expected life of this new fuel cell is.
