A combination of fuel cells and high-tech batteries could replace the combustion engine in automobiles

People rave about the hybrid electric Toyota Prius. As this review from the UK describes, the Prius is a marvel to experience. It offers a smooth ride, enough high-tech gadgetry to impress even the most geeked-out consumers, and of course outrageous fuel economy thanks to the Toyota Synergy Drive system that combines vehicle batteries with a small combustion engine to minimize wasted energy. The Prius is popular, too: Toyota dealers in the U.S. can't seem to keep them in stock, and manufacturing runs keep getting extended.

But the real story on the Prius is that the vehicle is a bridge to a whole new technology in personal transportation: vehicles that run on fuel cells and batteries. Imagine if the combustion engine were replaced with a fuel cell, and the batteries were enhanced to both store and deliver more power. Then you'd have a clean hybrid vehicle that needed no fossil fuels to operate.

To me, this is the real excitement of the Prius: what it represents in terms of future potential.
