Alex Bell and Andres Pacheco, students at Swarthmore college worked very hard on an ambitious project: "Our goal was to design and build a hydrogen fuel cell powered motorcycle to test the efficiencies of hydrogen fuel cell, internal combustion, and battery propulsion."

The film from the Swarthmore College it is too short and not clear. Watch this link!

Does anybody else notice how in the video's these guy offer as proof that the bike doesn't seem to be accelerating? I think they are just coasting down a slight hill. AKA...these guys are full of it!!!

this will never go on the market. Some company will buy these kids out and kill the cycle.

The English model has been developed and seems quiet.
The film from the Swarthmore College seems a little short and it is hard to tell if their model it is quiet or not. There was no demonstration of the bike acceleration.
However the idea is good. I wonder if anyone has developed an engine that runs on solar and wind tube thus creating a continuous energy where the wind charges back the battery.
