Abstract
A method and apparatus is disclosed for cooling the interior of a motor vehicle which motor vehicle is powered at least in part by hydrogen liberated from a hydride. Cooling of the interior such as the passenger compartment or cargo area is achieved by using the heat of the interior to supply at least part of the heat necessary for heating the hydride to liberate hydrogen. The apparatus includes, in combination with the interior of a vehicle a hydride container and heat transfer mechanism for transferring the heat of the interior to the hydride container thus cooling the interior.
