re: And in 4 weeks!

Oh, yes. It might interest you aerospace engineers to know that it only took the engineers only 4 weeks to design and build it. You Aerospace engineers would have probably have spent that long just on your viewgraphs explaining why it MAY be possible IF NASA gives you enough funding over the next 3 years for R&D.

And it has already passed all safety requirements for Draft ISO 15869. What this means in English is that experts tried to make the doomsday examples of Zubrin’s article on hydrogen cars blowing up come true and failed.

Also hydrogen doesn’t blow at 20,000 psi as Lincoln Composites states they have already built a 25,000 psi system in the same release.

Once again, get current on the technology like real engineers, not viewgraph ones. Just because NASA handles hydrogen the way Zubrin writes about doesn't mean that is how a real industry would.
