Solar-Hydrogen Eco-house
The first fully self-sustainable house in the world runs entirely on hydrogen.
"...The quaint little house outside the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia engineering faculty looks like any house... Called the Solar-Hydrogen Eco-house, it is the first in the world that is fully self-sustainable and runs entirely on hydrogen... The eco-house functions just like any home, except that it utilises hydrogen as a fuel to operate household appliances.... When the hydrogen tank is full and household appliances are not in use, the excess electricity will be injected back into the grid.
