I was impressed by a demonstration of an internal combustion engine
running on hydrogen. Pollution measurements of exhaust were CLEANER
than pollution measurements at the air intake! The demo was by folks
from American Hydrogen Association (http://www.clean-air.org/) and
info about converting engines to hydrogen is at
http://www.clean-air.org/conversion_kit_response.htm
If I recall correctly, it's a bit like converting an engine to run on
natural gas.
