Abstract This paper studies the feasibility of hydrogen cars and explains the technology behind them. The paper discusses the benefits and drawbacks they present and how some of the problems could be overcome in the near future.
From the Paper "Cars powered by hydrogen promise hope for our polluted planet in that hydrogen is the cleanest burning fuel possible, its only exhaust being water vapor. Hydrogen cells are not new; one was invented in by Welsh physicist Sir William Grove, but their potential use in cars has only recently been recognized. Fuel cells can convert hydrogen directly into electricity to power a car."
