HYDROGEN POWERD TRAIN.
This hydrogen-powered train emits only water By Nadine Schmidt April 12, 2017: 10:48 AM ET Third Party Content: CNN Imagine a nearly silent train that glides along its tracks emitting nothing more toxic than water. That train is a reality. In March, Germany conducted successful tests of the world's first "Hydrail" -- a hydrogen powered, zero-emission train. "The new train is 60% less noisy than a traditional diesel train, completely emission free," said Jens Sprotte of Alstom, the French producer of the train. "Its speed and the possibility to transport passengers match the performance of a diesel train." "The only sound it gives off comes from the wheels and air resistance," Sprotte added. Here's how the new technology works: The Hydrail uses the same equipment as a diesel train but substitutes hydrogen as its fuel source. Large fuel cells sitting on top of the train combine hydrogen and oxygen to generate ele...
