Just as an FYI my store here in Wellsville has an Equinox Fuel Cell Vehicle that we secured for a display during the Wellsville Balloon Rally this weekend. I just drove it and it was really cool. It makes very little sound other than fans going and electrical switches, blows hot air out the exhaust along with water vapor and seems to be very similar to the other Equinoxes we have here. I’ll post some pics as soon as I can get them up. BTW this is also what the new generation Equinox will look like.
If you are interested in coming down to see it I listed our address below. If you would like to drive it I’ll see if I can accomodate you but it won’t be moving around much so there is very little chance to do so. PM me for details if you want to come down.

The “Engine”, notice it has 300volt orange wiring.
Interior is very similar to the normal one’s.
Tach say “Kilowatts” instead of RPM’s.
Backend has a carbon fiber valence, the slits are actually the “exhaust”, which is water and pure oxygen.
It’s thermodynamically the same gig as an electric car. Gotta make the energy before you can spend it powering your car. Whereas with gas, you pump it out of the ground, spend SOME energy refining it, then get more energy out than you’ve put it.
Fossil Fuels = Energy Source
Hydrogen = Electricity = Energy Transport
“A potential advantage of hydrogen is that it could be produced and consumed continuously, using solar, water, wind and nuclear power for electrolysis. Currently, however, hydrogen vehicles utilizing hydrogen produce more pollution than vehicles consuming gasoline, diesel, or methane in a modern internal combustion engine, and far more than plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.[5][2] This is because, although hydrogen fuel cells generate no CO2, production of the hydrogen creates additional emissions.[6] While methods of hydrogen production that do not use fossil fuel would be more sustainable,[7] currently such production is not economically feasible, and diversion of renewable energy (which represents only 2% of energy generated) to the production of hydrogen for transportation applications is inadvisable.[2]”
