Greg, The fears and misinformation about hydrogen and its destructive capacity are without bound. This is likely due to images of a burning Hindenberg that lies in the recesses of many of our minds. Hydrogen gas, when used as a fuel, may be dangerous but, it is not nearly as dangerous as most other fuels including methane, methanol, ethanol, propane and gasoline.
Heck, more people die of carbon monoxide poisoning that from leaking or exploding hydrogen gas. Please check out the facts on hydrogen safety at sites such as the National Hydrogen Association's which is at: http://www.hydrogenus.com/ Ted Swarts Kelowna, British Columbia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg and April" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <biofuel@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 9:05 PM Subject: Re: [biofuel] Manhattan Scientifics Fuel Cell Bike -- INVENTION OF THE YEAR > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 20:14 > Subject: [biofuel] Manhattan Scientifics Fuel Cell Bike -- INVENTION OF THE > YEAR > > > > > >HYDROGEN-POWERED BIKES COMING SOON ? > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Time Magazine Names Aprilia/Manhattan Scientifics Fuel Cell Bike as the > >Invention of the Year.......... > > > >Time said, "Fuel-cell technology, which uses pollution free hydrogen gas > >to generate an electric current, could ignite electric bike sales.
