Hydrogen prototype: a new look Buell

Two American engineering students have created a hydrogen bike prototype, comparing the efficiency of three different types of engines: an internal combustion engine, a fuel cell electric engine and the hydrogen engine.
Alex Bell and Andres Pacheco developed their project at the Swarthmore College, using a Buell Cyclone motorcycle with a modified chassis and rear suspension that would have been originally fitted to the twin cylinder engine.

The combustion cell is a Ballard, 1.
2 Kw (1.
6hp) and the electric engine was built in Italy by CFR in Modena.
The hydrogen is stored chemically in two cylinders called Ergenics, and is released via a heating process.
