Could this also have significance for the hydrogen-powered vehicle? Imagine a hydrogen-electric hybrid that you can fuel up at a hydrogen station and has all the advantages of a combustable engine, but which you can also fuel up by simply adding a tank of water and plugging in for a few hours. Using one of these new catalysts from MIT, the water is broken down into H and 0, with the oxygen dispersed into the air and the H passed into the fuel tank.
