I made mention of a hydrogen powered motorcycle,
photograph MIT/Visordown, the post is here, and like magic here is another one under development by MIT it appears that hydrogen is making a come back, both in cars and in motorcycles, the MIT Electric Vehicle Team, which came up with the idea
to build the bike, says it chose hydrogen because of its advantages over battery
power, notably: range, refill time versus recharge time, and because of the
emissions created by the process of mining lithium, the metal used in the
electrodes of a rechargeable battery, but will not use hydrogen in the way
proposed by the Japanese, who are using hydrogen as a combustible, instead, MIT
is exploring the use of hydrogen fuel cells in motorcycles, which means using
hydrogen to power an electric motor that sends power to the driven wheel,
“We’re hoping to use this project as a chance to start conversations around ‘small hydrogen’ systems that could increase demand, which could lead to the development of more infrastructure," said Aditya Mehrotra, the project leader, for the full article have a look here.
