ResumoWhereas airships harnessed hydrogen's buoyancy, the Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, an SUV, uses it to make electricity. Its fuel cell combines hydrogen from the tank with oxygen in the air, creating an electrochemical reaction that generates current to supply electric motors. Water is the only waste product, making the cars green. Unlike battery-powered vehicles, which need hours to charge, refuelling takes minutes--and a full tank should last for 480 km. Hyundai says the Tucson can hit 160 km per hour. Here, Hooper gives a preview of this hydrogen SUV that's ready to hit the road.
