Record-Breaking BMW Hydrogen Vehicle in Model Format
Thursday, July 28, 2005
"Project group at Ingolstadt UAS worked with BMW engineers to build model vehicle - including the powerful hydrogen internal combustion engine. The hydrogen internal combustion engine is not only suitable for cars the size of the BMW 7 Series - it is efficient on a small scale, too. Proof of this has been provided by a project group at the Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences. A remote-controlled model of the record-breaking BMW H2R - 70 centimeters (27.6 inches) long, 25 centimeters (9.8 inches) wide - designed by undergraduates and doctoral students can reach a top speed of 80 km/h (49.7 mph). Last year, with the full-size BMW H2R, BMW achieved nine international records recognized by the FIA. The hydrogen-powered racing vehicle achieved a maximum speed of over 300 km/h (186 mph)."
