The fuel-tank is encased in an insulating layer equivalent to
a 56 foot-wide jacket of Styrofoam, which is needed to keep the hydrogen
cooled to about
-418 degrees Fahrenheit. |
 |
| The coupling for refueling with liquid hydrogen is one of the
few external details that sets the Hydrogen 7 apart visually. |
 |
| BMW worked with the industrial gases conglomerate Linde to develop
this mobile fueling station. |
 |
| Refueling with hydrogen takes about six to eight minutes. |
