Omega running on Hydrogen Fuel Cell?
« on: 30 September 2006, 17:18:02 »

Apparently so. Starting bid £1200.

Is this just an LPG conversion with a confused seller? I've asked him a question, will be interested in the response !

Thoughts?

Hydrogen Fuel Cell, yep, didn't the Romulans use them?

Think that's LPG.  :-?

As for the boot, he might have cleaned it out before taking the pictures. Also, the teddy in the back window, isn't that the one out of Lost?  ::)

You could be right, cos judging by the state of that boot i think it may have had a Warp Core Breach.   :o

Worth asking.

It has a gas system

Could be compressed Hydrogen, or CNG, or LPG

If it is Hydrogen then its not a fuel cell..........it would take up most of the passenger floor space.

Hydrogen as a fuel in an IC engine is not too good, BMW have the most experience, but carrying the gas isn't too easy
