Hydrogen Cars!

g

Two Tuesdays ago, the Sabbs were invited to the University's Marketing & Communication Department's yearly shindig, which takes place in a marquee on campus complete with the usual chocolate fountain, buffet and free wine.

g

The event was the launch of the University's new campaign called Original Thinking. This celebrates the innovation and research accomplishments of the University that have taken place over the past century. There is a huge sign of this at New Street Station and numerous black cabs have it tattooed on their side.

But the most exciting part of this event was the University's innovation hydrogen cars! These were invented by students of the University a few years ago and will hopefully become mainstream in the next ten years.

The cars, roughly the size of Smart Cars, are run on hydrogen and are therefore carbon neutral. They are also extremely silent. Therefore, they cut down on both environmental pollution and noise pollution!

We were allowed rides in the cars around campus. See right for a picture of student Steve Streatfield in one of the cars!

I was very impressed that the University are taking steps to save the planet.

Original Thinking indeed!
