I was at a Penn State lecture on global warming. In the parking lot they had a hybrid car. Biodiesel and electric. There was also a tank of hydrogen in the trunk. The fellow there said that the hydrogen boosts the power of the biodiesel. He didn't seem to know much. I asked if the hydrogen was stored as a metal hydride and he looked at me blankly and shrugged. He didn't seem to know how much extra power the hydrogen added. All he knew was that the fuel tank was 6 gallons and the range of the car was about 300 miles. He didn't know how much the battery power contributed to the range. Anybody hear about boosting power with hydrogen? Seems like a lot of extra trouble to me. Ken
