Here's more information on the hydrogen motorcycle I mentioned last night. Called the ENV (emissions neutral vehicle) it has a top speed of 50mph and a range of 100 miles. Of course, this will improve as the technology is advanced. Built by Intelligent Energy, they designed the ENV to look very clean and simple and combined with a sound level about the same as the computer … [Read more...]

Another chapter is written in the annals of aviation history as Jesse James builds a flying Panoz Esperante. Say what?
