Oregon Inventor Builds Hydrogen Cars and Lawnmowers

April 1, 2009 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | Filed in: Entrepreneurs.

Oregon inventor Abe Fouhy has converted a 1999 Ford Contour to run on hydrogen and has also built lawnmowers and BBQ grills that run on H2 as well. In addition, the 28-year-old inventor also hopes to one day run his 1905 farmhouse on hydrogen.

Working as an intern at a fuel cell technology company, Fouhy has converted several cars to run on hydrogen including one that ran on natural gas. He has also built fuel cells, fuel injection systems and hydrogen production systems.

And, Abe Fouhy is also a teacher of hydrogen technology. In the past 10 years he has developed classes on alternative fuels for the University of Montana and will be teaching a class at Clackamas Community College.

On this April Fool’s Day on thing is for sure and that is inventors and entrepreneurs in the hydrogen industry can’t be fooled by their critics as development of new H2 technology is definitely a cause worth pursuing.

  1. Hello Abe,
    my name is Bill Bresnahan, who was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pa., move to Washington state in 2009, married a nurse from Rockwood Clinic, and now reside in Medical lake, Wa.99022.
    I am a retired and out on a service connected disability from the Phila. Police Swat Team Unit, as I was shot six tiles, loss my left arm, and now am associated with four other vets from our military, also amputee’s.
    Being an inventor myself of approx. 10 patents currently, I now have taken a recent vision to make an all new car that absolutely no one in the entire world has made to date.
    My new car is going to run off of several energy options except gasoline of anykind. I’m working on air & light being transfered into energy, where my car after completion will travel from the west coast to the east coast for approx. $ 3.76 total cost to make this journey.
    My car will also have every bell and whistle any premium vehical today will have today, including driving itself as well. My newly researched over the top braking system, to the newly researched energy saving tires, to the state of the art energy saving car batteries that have not been used as of yet in any new hybrid vehical today.
    my car will suppress into itself, as well as being the smallest car for two in the entire world that will also travel approx. 85mph.
    I do need some assistance though, so me and my vets are desiring your help if you would, or possibly you can join our team ?
    I have entered the MIT Levels on Contest, where the top prize will be one half million dollars. In 1992 I entered into there same contest with one hundred other entrepreneurs , only to come into third place; but because of me winning, my patented product made over fifteen million dollars, with about a couple of hundred thousand dollars worth of advertising in major cities both nationally & internationally. So third place still made a huge impact on my life back then.
    Please respond hopefully soon to my message here, thank you.Have a blessed Easter Sunday, both you & your family.
    Sincerely,
    Bill Bresnahan, 610-563-0785

    PS- I happen to be the great new of Roger Bresnahan, a Baseball Hall of Famer, who also was an inventor, as he invented the batters helmet, catchers mask, and shin guards everyone in the world who plays baseball uses his patented products today.
    Roger is a defendant of Ireland ( Tralee ), brought to America while in his Mother’s belly, and resided in Ohio as well.
