Re: V-6 Turbo?

Several car companies, including Ford, General Motors and BMW are adjusting combustion engines so they burn on hydrogen.
We'll see these same engines (Hemis) running on hydrogen. Gasoline's day's are numbered. I see monster motors churning out incredible power while burning virtually free hydrogen gas derived from sea water with no hydrocarbons to harm the environment. No smog controls will be needed so all that technology will be ashcanned with a return to engineering simplicity and a true permanent rebirth of the muscle car.
The technological hurdle with using hydrogen in internal combustion engines is the storage technique. Current vehicles have a super-insulated tank that stores liquid hydrogen at minus-480 degrees F, and a special fuel-injection system that can switch between gasoline and hydrogen. Internal combustion engines produce huge horsepower while burning hydrogen--something that an electric car powered by a hydrogen fuel cell cannot do.
We are at the end of the hydrocarbon-dark-ages and standing on the precipice of a new era.
