Running Cars On Water

[Keikan]

I was listening to the radio last night and apparently there was some guy in US in 1930's who developed a hydrogen engine and then he tried to get a patent but his patent was turned down. By who? GM and some oil company

If his patent was rejected it would have been by the US Patent Office

Surely it's better to run boats on water? :blink:

Looks like Toyota and Honda may have beaten them to it.
