Description
A new water-powered motor has not only set records but may have finally dethroned hydrogen as the best possible alternative. The new water engine does not replace hydrogen entirely; it just uses it more efficiently. Courtesy of Austrian company AVL Racetech, we now see a powerful hydrogen combustion engine with incredible performance that could be an alternative to electric vehicles.
