Bottling the hydrogen genie - The Industrial Physicist: Feb 10, 2007 3:40pm 1 review cars, alternative-energy, hydrogen, efficiency, electric-car
http://www.aip.org/tip/INPHFA/vol-10/iss-1/p20.html; An upbeat look at the engineering hurdles hydrogen powered fuel cell vehicles need to clear to replace gasoline engines in cars. These problems are far too severe to count on in the short term. We should look instead toward electric battery commuter vehicles. Existing electric vehicle technology could easily perform the tasks gasoline cars are used for on a day to day basis, with virtually no air or sound pollution and a significantly reduced manufacturing cost. FWIW, electric vehicle power use equates to paying about ten cents a gallon for gasoline, and there's no oil to change, either!

http://www.plasmaboyracing.com/whitezombie.php; Best ET 12.151 @ 106.25 mph! World's Quickest & Fastest 'Street Legal Electric Car' (in the 1/4 mile, per NEDRA) 0-60 in ~ 3.5 seconds! Here's how they did it. The slick trick was using smaller dual 8 HP motors on a common shaft. These are widely availible in the surplus market (and the control hardware, a real budget buster), as they are a commodity item, common in forklifts.
