While I find the technology interesting, they really seemed to stay away from revealing how much it all cost for that conversion. When cost is no object you can solve a lot of problems normal folks can't.

I would like to see more development on hydrogen vehicles. Issue is containing it, If for some reason the tank is compromised and a spark/flame is around it you get a big boom! The Hindenburg was ignited by a spark generated from the blimp to the ground not a power line like he said in the video.
500 HP is not hard to make on any fuel I wonder how hard it is to buy that fuel and how much does it cost What mileage does he get with it I would like to see more commercial vehicles switch to that as long as it becomes practical

We built several LNG trucks at Kenworth over the years. Port of L.A. requirement,so they would have their own filling infrastructure. Big fiberglass tanks, on the truck, that were reported to be in the $30,000 range, and this was 10 years ago. I had to buy smaller tanks that were on our own skid, used for running the truck before it was completed and shipped off.
I respect Hydrogen and support experiments of all possibilities.
It should not be forgotten that hot vaporized H2O has a strong Quantum Mechanical effect of redirecting half of infrared radiation each molecule emits downward back toward a planet’s surface.
This is wrongly called a “Greenhouse effect” but greenhouse do not stay warm in winter that way.
Nearly every Thermodynamics textbook used by engineering students has either a section explaining this, or a “trick question” at the end of the chapter to hammer home the principle.
If a large portion of all the earth’s human activity was exhausting hot H2O gas what would the Quantum Mechanical effects in the atmosphere be?
