Got To Thinking About These New Hydrogen Powered Cars....
they claim that these cars produce nothing but water as a byproduct. no harmfull emissions..... well i was thinking how is this gonna work in the very cold area's of the world? i mean to me it sounds too simple but if it emits water, and it gets sub-freezing, then what is gonna happen to the water as it's running out of the car? or if it sits and idles and builds up some water in the exhaust pipe, will it freeze solid and bust the exhaust? or what about a safety hazzard when it's below 0* and it's spurtin water on the highways or roads and leaving spots of ice...... i dono i'm kind of skeptal about it all.... just some of the hairbrained things i think about during the day while i'm driving.....

Since the inception of the catalytic converter we have had water running out of the exhaust so its not an issue. The engine heat transmitted through the exhaust keep the water warm enough not to freeze until it exits.
To add to it, one thing that the manufacturers aren't telling everyone is that they create 32% more pollutants to the earth in the manufacturing process of hybrids than a conventional internal combustion hydrocarbon burning vehicle. SO where is the logic behind the EPA's claims?

not tryin' to tick anyone off but if it expells water as exhaust then there is gonna be a bend in the up position that will create a "low" spot in the system. that lowspot would seem to me like a trap on a sink. then when the vehicle would stop for the night wouldn't all that water freeze?
