Jack Nicholson A Scientist?

August 2nd, 2008 by John Strunk

I came across this post at Gizmodo here. Apparently back in 1978, being the forward thinking and scientist old Jack is, Jack had a hydrogen powered Chevy car. It was a simple, by today’s terms, converted regular engine with a modified carburetor which used hydrogen gas for fuel. The kicker, the hydrogen was produced by the first solar panels ever. Here is the video:

So what the hell happened? This was over 30 years ago WTF! This is the kinda sad stuff that happens. Some awesome new scientific discovery which would kick ass and then … PFFfff … nothing. From the sounds of the video it would have been a really simple conversion to already existing engines. Really upsetting.

Oh well Jack, you were ahead of your time.
