I meant using cryogenic liquid hydrogen would make it easy to liquify

As noted by Cowan, 4 bar might be too high for a lightweight system. I
got this number from high performance fuel cells. They would work at 1
bar just not as efficiently.


Er, Bob, just how big is the H2 tank going to be?



The fuel tank can be highly pressurized and the hydrogen fed through a
regular, presumably. I for one don't see that as a problem although the
regulator might get rather cold. :-) (Same issue as with air
conditioners.) Of course that might be advantageous, as one can then
route the exhaust past it.


By "highly pressurized", I assume you mean a contained energy density of
LESS THAN ONE PERCENT of gasoline.
