Open Source Hydrogen Car
We are gathering collaborators for a Solar Hydrogen Electric Vehicle Challenge: Scope:
- Lightweight electric vehicle running on compressed hydrogen combustion - a hybrid with hydrogen Power Cube
- Involves development of open source hydrogen engine
- $100k award, 1 year from launch. 2 year project.
- Solar hydrogen production - stationary plant, phase 2. 2 year project
- Onboard solar hydrogen generation - phase 3. 2 year project.
- Proof of concept design - not an optimized design - initially
- Focus on Design for Manufacturing - ease of fabrication in commmunity-based microfactories that is more efficient than mass production and allows for circular, open source economies
Copy & R&D
- Show that hydrogen internal combustion (IC) cars exist
