Go to any major library in the USA and look up hydrogyn automobiles. 
There is an instruction manual on how to convert an existing automobile
engine to burn hydrogen fuel available there.  There is also instructions
on how to build a backyard electrolysis plant to convert tap water into
hydrogen gas.  This instruction manual was a product of the 1970s oil
fiasco.

Therefore, I find the concept of it taking "less than five years" to build
a production model hydrogen burning automobile a little laughable.  Big
difference in todays autos vs. the 1970s stuff the instruction manual was
written for however is that in the 1970s fuel injection would not have
been anywhere near as common, so there would have to be some adjustment
there.

But the fact is the knowledge on how to do this is not recent by any
little piece of the imagination.  Our government was writing instructions
on how to do this in your own backyard 30 years ago.
