Absolutely. This is a flight of fantasy.
Just being able to imagine something doesn't really cut it for concept items any more - you've got to have something vaguely functional you can demonstrate before it's worth seeking external attention.
My dreams of a real-life Giddyup Buttercup are finally coming true…in 25 years. Hydrogen powered? Seems about as realistic as a Fallout-style nuke-powered one.
The mounts in the Horizon games on PlayStation are even better as a concept, as they let you actually try it on. And they're probably as close to implementation as this.
This is just CGI of an idea somebody had, no part of this exists yet. Its no different than if some random grad student made a video of a flying car concept that they thought of while binging old sci-fi.
Many of the comments are getting this wrong. This video is CGI-generated. However, a prototype exists but all it can reportedly do is stand up and balance itself at present.
Cos a hydrogen engine is the best way to generate electricity. Given that the entire vehicle is around the same size as the fuel tank in a pickup truck, and hydrogen's very low volumetric energy density.

But it’s a pretty cool concept. Video here:

But guys, that book wasn't a manual.
Is hydrogen a better way to store electricity than just batteries? This seems awfully roundabout.
Make the thing, then try to sell it, ffs.
