Hydrogen Fuelled Racing Car

Formula 1 is something I have been at times quite fanatical about, particularly so when Ayrton Senna was on the circuit. A couple of weeks ago I got the opportunity to attend a Caterham Track Day round Brands Hatch's full on and legendary Grand Prix circuit, and learnt that I might not have quite as much natural talent for it as I used to think, but I loved it all the same. I used to own a 100cc Racing Kart, and was convinced that only my financial situation stopped my inevitable progress to the upper echelons of Formula 1 motorsport.

Back to reality

The thing is, I have to balance this with the needs of the planet. Sure, I love motor racing, even as a spectator, but, what about our planet?

God's Little Acre is, we are told, going the way of Elvis and emissions is something we should all be looking to reduce. Hydrogen Fuelled Racing Cars, there only emission being water, seems like a great compromise. Sure, I would miss the sound and smells of a multi-cylinder petrol guzzling beast, but maybe hydrogen could give us something really fast?

Ok, this is not a full size car, my dreams of Formula H20 maybe just a dream, but why not?

Formula H20

According to Gadget Stuff

"The genius boffins at Horizon have come up with the world's smallest hydrogen-powered fuel cell car which has been nominated for the Intel Environmental Award in Silicon Valley's Tech Museum ? a grand honour for those of you who are not so technically inclined! The H2 Racer has all the notches on its belt, design, engineering and most importantly is as green-friendly as you can get without being a tree! This wicked little racer comes as a kit so it's perfect for those of you who fancy themselves as being ?good with your hands', or just those of you who have some serious time on their hands! "

"Full instructions are included of course."

Note: I haven't tried this yet!, but after the demise of Airfix, this looks like a great kit, erm for my daughter of course! lol
