They say you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to answer most questions, but on the subject of the potential of hydrogen to fuel internal combustion engines, I’ve turned to one.

Its creators talked enthusiastically of its five-year development cycle to date, engaging sound and performance and the potential for the technology to be applied to production cars and bikes in the future.
