Except guess from where hydrogen is obtained in the first place? Yep, you got it: from fossil fuels like petroleum and coal: "Currently, the majority of hydrogen (∼95%) is produced from fossil fuels by steam reforming or partial oxidation of methane and coal gasification with only a small quantity by other routes such as biomass gasification or electrolysis of water." So "hydrogen" cars, just like "electric" cars, are fossil fuel burners just like their counterparts that fill up at gas stations. REAL science and REAL reality is just so sad for all the greenies, isn't it?

"During experiments, two bachelor students of Chemical Engineering ... accidentally stumbled upon a catalyst that speeded up the reaction immensely..."

Ah, someone spilled their Monster energy drink.

Can cars run on acid?

Not sure, but I think someone tried it before back in the 1970s . . .

Hydrogen, isn’t that what KITT (from “Knight Rider”) ran on? One of my favourite episodes was about Michael and KITT going into a race with cars competing in a “best alternative fuel” type of contest.

“It seems to be the start of a hydrogen battery for use in hydrogen cars of the future, for example. He received his PhD degree yesterday, cum laude. “

Oh great another nice in theory who the heck knows if it can scale or be manufactured moment

“At 65 degrees, the formic acid is stable, but heating it to 90 degrees releases the hydrogen fast.”

...

What happens when it’s summertime and you don’t want the hydrogen released fast?
