Fuel Cell Engine???? ;>

Now Jim, I know you're a good mechanic, but how the heck are you going to convert that ENGINE to run like a MOTOR? Okay, in the engineering world an ENGINE is something that works mechanically, a MOTOR is electrical in nature. Fuel cells use hydrogen to produce electricity to run a MOTOR. An ENGINE can't be run on electricity. Technically an ENGINE could be run by an electric MOTOR (an engine doesn't have to burn fuel), but that's not the kind of engine we're talking about. 
 
Okay, I think it safe to assume you meant the engine you're building is multi fuel capable. I did feel a need to correct the fuel cell error (produces electricity, not a burnable gas), couldn't help doing it in a glib way! Running that engine of your on alcohol would be good, wonder if the gov't would give you a license for a still to make your own? ;>  Only problem with alky is that fuel mileage is around half -- you'd need a bigger tank.
