I believe there was an attempt to use hydrogen fuel in a Zeppelin. The fuel was free, since you have to vent hydrogen as you burn fuel anyway to keep from going up. They found that hydrogen was a very poor fuel, and their 400 hp diesel engines only produced 50 hp on hydrogen. Much is to come in the future. -- John Halpenny If you are what you eat...
