Last year Tesla gave away the patents for their sleek electric car. Now Toyota followed suite and has released some 5,680 patents related to their hydrogen, and fuel cell technology.

Toyota believes that the hydrogen cell is the engine that will power cars for the next 100 years, and want to see its success in as many places as possible.
