The present invention provides a coating for a transparent substrate which exhibits a “neutral” color through a wide range of angles of incidence of light. The coating employs a base coat adjacent the transparent substrate having a thickness of no more than about 275 Å and may include two reflective metal layers having an intermediate layer of an anti-reflective metal oxide therebetween and an outer anti-reflective layer of metal oxide over the second reflective metal layer. If so desired, the coating of the invention may include an abrasive-resistant overcoat as its outermost layer. This overcoat is desirably formed of an abrasive-resistant metal oxide, such as zinc oxide applied at a thickness which does not significantly affect the optical properties of said coated substrate.

A hydrogen production and water recovery system for a fuel cell utilizes hydrogen storage in a metal hydride or the like. An exhaust stream from the fuel cell is passed through the storage media, simultaneously to cool the exhaust stream to promote condensation of water vapor and to heat the media to promote generation of hydrogen. The recovered water can be stored, returned to a coolant loop, and at a later time electrolyzed to generate hydrogen.

An ND filter of a thin film type is formed on a transparent substrate, such that a light-absorbing film and a dielectric film are laminated on the transparent substrate. The transparent substrate is formed of a resin film which can be fed at a constant speed.
