Why don't they use a hydrogen powered KITT for the next Knight Rider?

OK, I will probably get flamed for asking this, but Will it Blend?™

@GSPALDIN: and @CEman: There is a solar-powered Hydrogen Refueling Station on the Horizon Fuel Cell website, in the "Toy Products" category. Maybe that's the solution.

Nearly 20 mph? Mmmm.

Mind you, on a 1:10 scale car thats 200mph scale. If you were to put a 1:20th scale body on it, like, I dunno, an RV of some sort, that would be a hydrogen fuel celled RV with a scale speed of 400mph!

I was wondering just that @GSPALDIN:.

Where does one purchase hydrogen?

I looked all over their site. It looks like their Fuel Cells have the same trouble as all of the others. It's really cool technology but when it comes to refilling with Hydrogen your on your own.

@Matt_Hardigree: I'm more of a $9.99 from Radio Shack sort of R/C guy.

I actually have an old Tamiya Pajero around somewhere, I think it cost me $40.

@mwood10: Are you saying you don't regularly spend $2000 on R/C supplies?

According to the site, it's $1500. How many batteries could you buy for that?

I'm really intrigued. I should show this to my professor who runs the fuel cells research lab in our engineering department. Maybe he could use university funds to get one for the lab.

Did I miss something, or did that video just not really show a whole lot?
