Abstract
A scooter powered by a hydrogen powered internal combustion engine fueled by a throttled stream of air into which a controlled amount of hydrogen is injected. A hydrogen fuel control system is used to control the amount of hydrogen injected into the throttled air stream using multiple parameters. The amount of hydrogen present in the hydrogen storage unit is monitored using an on-board hydrogen fuel measurement system utilizing a microcontroller and multiple sensors.
