Fascinating- my parents came from Maryborough. Glad to see innovation come from there.

Pure hydrogen, whether it is from a fuel cell or from a tank of hydrogen (appropriately secured) seems a more efficient use of resources than either electricity or hybrid. It should be possible to use existing 4 stroke petrol technology as to which there is enormous expertise, with relatively little modification. Hydrogen of itself is not especially dangerous: no more so really than petrol. The prototype engine described here is beyond my technical knowledge. Absence of emissions and the only byproduct being water, I readily accept. That this engine does not rely upon compression, I find hard to understand.
