I read it completely wrong. It doesn't use any new new hydrolysis splitting technique..
It looks like just standard direct-injection hydrogen into an ICE. Then it uses water injection every other time or as needed to be a quasi 6-cycle steam engine. Already been done. Smaller radiator probably or perhaps one day no radiator will be needed. That water injection stroke also cools the motor from inside the cylinder. Hot-Cold-Hot-Cold. There is still a H2 storage tank but it's more efficient than H2 alone. Here I was getting all hot n bothered but am now disappoint in ya'll Toyota.

That’s my understanding of how to make hydrogen cost effective for use in a vehicle. Not a 100% one fuel or another, but both at the same time. I was bored one night and did the calculations for a type 1 vw engine. Can’t sustain hydrolysis short of using a generator head on the engine. But dual fuel would substantially increase mpg. No free lunch, but we’re talking India priced lunches.
