Hydrogen 7

BMW to make the dual fuel, 12 cylinder, Hydrogen 7. And it's not just for auto shows.

Interesting that it's not fuel cell but direct combustion.

Note that the H2 is stored as liquid. This boils to keep itself cold. The loss rate is around two pounds per day. I assume this means venting the H2. H2 has the widest burn and explosion range of any fuel.

Park it in your garage next to a water heater at your peril. I like the prospect of H2 but there are a few issues to resolve with storage.

Honda will be first to market with a practical vehicle and DIY H2 refueling device.

With "0–62.1 mph in 9.5 seconds" on gasoline, there must have been some significant engine compromises.
