Why are hydrogen fuel cell cars so expensive. The technology is really very simple.

Why using 3.0V solar panel to generate hydrogen, then generate 0.5V form hydrogen, and finally run the car 0.5V motor? Why not put solar panel on top od the car and use the 3V?
Very informative video, mine unfortunately didn't come with a manual so I had to use this video to make mine and it works perfectly
julian how do we know that the fuel cell is real and not a battery?
Does it purge the air from the tubing somehow before generating the hydrogen? Otherwise, I would think that the hydrogen in the balloon/tank would be diluted by the air in the tubing.
Looks like your making/using Oxyhydrogen (H2O2) aka 'Knallgas/Browns Gas/HHO.' There are lots of issues with scaling Oxyhydrogen, mostly due to its explosive capacity if compressed as the hydrogen gas carries oxygen. It is not an efficient process either. Hydrogen cars are designed for liquid hydrogen fuel which is extremely heavy. A small compact car needs a chassis like a commercial truck to hold the fuel tank.
It's rarely a good idea to use tap-water where distilled water is specified.
How about plugging the solar cell directly into the car ?
x-carve update…pls
Where is the advantage in converting battery electric energy (or solar) into hydrogen so you can convert it back into electricity to run a motor? But I guess this was a possible technology BEM (before Elon Musk).
hyd fuel cell powered jule thief?
that was pretty cool. thanks for the look.
Can you try hooking it up to a joule thief
Can't believe you didn't put a voltmeter across the fuel cell!
run it off s psu direct connect to the cell
