   2008 LA Design Challenge: Bmw Hydrogen Powered Salt Flat Racer
			
			
				Bmw,
in keeping with environmentally safer cars, has produced a
hydrogen-powered salt flat racer based on the idea of Reuse instead of
recycle. This notion make use of the readily available, common,
everyday materials, such as old oil drums and barbeque hoods, as main
construction components for the body and wheel discs. 
 Safe, imaginative and maintainable, the scheme uses the principle
of �canaries-in-a-coal-mine� to make sure that the vehicle is producing
clean emissions. The wheels are made of gel-nylon for the needed
flexibility, but permitting the tires to be airless and capable of
re-vulcanizing and re-treading. Photos after the jump!
