Just as Honda came up with a hydrogen powered car, Intelligent Energy created a hydrogen-powered drone whose prototype could be available as soon as 2016. Keep in mind that this is not the first time the creation of a hydrogen-powered drone has been attempted. In fact, a hydrogen-powered drone that could fly for up to four hours was designed earlier by Horizon Energy Systems.[Image source: Intelligent Systems]One could be interested as to why we would want to power a drone with hydrogen in the first place. Lithium Polymer batteries are not particularly harmful to the environment, they do not emit any gases, so why hydrogen? Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe. Not only is it light, is is also very powerful as well. In that sense, any energy source made to utilize hydrogen will be expected to be sustainable for a very long time.
