University of Waterloo Rock!

From Gizmodo,

University of Waterloo's hydrogen powered, zero-emissions, electric SUV earned the most awe from the crowd for its ambitious yet completely safe, student-built fuel-cell power plant.  This vehicle from University of Waterloo in Canada uses a 400kg fuel cell to turn on-board hydrogen and airborne oxygen into energy that powers two 67-kW electric motors. If the SUV demands more power, it has a backup battery that is charged in part by a regenerative brake, like on today's hybrids.

Go Waterloo Go!!!

p.s. Too bad I dropped out from Mechanical Engineering in 1st year.  Otherwise I'd be part of this team.  LoL, just kidding!
