The hip retro hydro-style… Behind the hot seat, the red tank holds liquid hydrogen, green liquid oxygen.

Why do they need LOX for a fuel cell vehicle? Isn’t atmospheric oxygen enough? Also, is the water vapor coming out reclaimable and pure enough to be used as drinking water? It seems like it’d be wise to keep the vapor from going into the atmosphere in any case, since it’s also a greenhouse gas.. At the very least, it seems like it could change the climate by providing more water vapor for storms to use…

Water vapor is a greenhouse gas? I don’t think so.
Also, if this is a fuel cell vehicle, the exhaust pipe isn’t really an exhaust pipe, it’s just a drain, isn’t it? Heck… I’d drink the water. If it weren’t a fuel cell car, but used hydrogen instead of gasoline in an internal combustion engine, I wouldn’t drink the exhaust water, because it’s likely contaminated with engine oil from the combustion chamber that no doubt have traces that slipped by the piston rings.

Do a google on "water vapor" and "greenhouse gas." It’s enlightening.. It’s by no means certain, but even NASA’s earth observatory is suggesting water vapor contributes to global warming…
Additionally, it appears that the wikipedia article misconstrues the water vapor feedback article, since fuel cells would seem to alter the balance of water vapor over evaporation alone.. But like I implied above… Maybe we just get more precipitation here and there. Still, that would change cloud cover patterns and would effect temperature in unknown ways.. (It’s not well understood how the insulation/absorbtion properties of clouds balance with it’s increased reflection of radiation, for instance.)
And the problem with the fuel cell output? It is most likely to be gaseous state water, and it’s possible that there’s enough membrane contamination that the water’s not pure enough to drink. (Water your lawn, most certainly, if it is easy enough to condense.)

Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Art of Technology, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
