Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to form water and gives off energy in the process. This energy, mostly in the form of heat, can be used as an energy source. Hydrogen fuel cells are specialized to react the hydrogen and oxygen in an optimal way so that maximum energy can be harnessed. The source of the energy is the hydrogen gas that is synthesized in a lab, usually by the electrolysis of water (which means running electrical energy through water causing it to separate into oxygen and hydrogen gas). The energy used to create the hydrogen gas can come from many sources including fossil fuels, solar, hydroelectric, etc.

Name one not-so-good green thing?
One good green thing may be a recycled bag that has been made of only recycled materials. another green thing may be a car that runs on hydrogen and so the only waste product would be water.
Can a car run on hydrogen?
Hydrogen cars usually run in one of two ways. There are cars like the Honda FCX Clarity, which uses a compressed gas form of hydrogen. The hydrogen is converted into electricity inside the car by fuel cells, which in turn powers the cars. So, these car types would still be considered electric in part because that is what is really powering the car, it is just that the hydrogen is the source of the electricity, rather than having to plug in your car at the end of the day. Then there are also cars like the BMW Hydrogen 7 Concept, which utilize the hydrogen via ICE (Internal Combustion Engine), the traditional engine type. The hydrogen, like gasoline, is used in the engine to power the car. The hydrogen in this case is a liquid form. Currently, BMW has given the Hydrogen 7 a modified V12 engine, which can use both gasoline and hydrogen at the same time. There is no clear "better way" when it comes to hydrogen, it is relatively new to cars. Both produce water vapor as their only emissions though, and serve as an alternative fuel in the future, if the hydrogen can be produced in an efficient way.
What is the benefits with hydrogen powered cars?
A hydrogen vehicle is a vehicle that uses hydrogen as its onboard fuel for motive power. Hydrogen vehicles include hydrogen fueled space rockets, as well as automobiles and other transportation vehicles.
Is hydrogen combustible in car engines?
Yes, hydrogen is transferred into the power to move the car either by fuel cell (resulting in electricity) or a traditional ICE (Internal Combustion Engine). Either way, the end product is water vapor.
Electricity powered homes and factories. How did electricity change Americans' lives?
Electricity powered homes and factories. It changed American lives by extending the number of hours in the day when people could work and play.
Why was hydrogen powered car invented?
To use less oil
How hydrogen powered vehicles work?
trees they make oxygen
How are hydrogen cars powered?
Generally, a Hydrogen powered car runs by using hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity in a fuel cell, which is then used to power an electric traction motor that runs the car. Direct ignition-engines are more difficult and dangerous to 'run'.
What year and by whom was the first hydrogen gas powered car made?
read a book fool
How did the first gasoline powered car work?
abbott
When was the car invernted?
Depends on your definition of "car" The first self-propelled vehicle was in 1769-- steam engine. The first internal combustion powered car was 1807..Hydrogen powered. The first gasoline IC car was 1886. First electric 1900. Seems we have come full-circle, the next reliable, available fuel will be hydrogen.
How to work hydrogen car?
CArs will not run efficiently on hydrogen gas
What do you use with hydrogyen?
in a episode of top gear James drove a car that was powered by hydrogen so you can use it for the car he drive which was a type of Honda
You took a car to the moon would it work?
Yes it would if it was solar powered car.
Is a hybrid better than a hydrogen powered car?
it depend on what is your stand point. if you are upper class , hydrogen is the solution, anything lower, hybrid. Hydrogens cost anywhere from $60,000 to $1,000,000, depending on the car.
When can you buy hydrogen powered cars?
You could build one today. I also hear that at least one Hydrogen powered car reached the US Market. Check with a Honda dealer or any dealer to see if there are any models available.
How does a water fueled car help the environment?
If it is water-fueled, it is most likely Hydrogen powered. In essences, this means that the only thing coming out of the exhaust pipe is water. A perpetually powered Hydrogen vehicle.... now, that's the way to go!
