This can be done by combining it with oxygen in a fuel cell, DC electric current can be produced directly. This would be far from green energy though as hydrogen is commercially made from natural gas. The net result is that all hydrogen powered equipment is really running on a form of natural gas and still contributing to the use of fossil fuels and the output of CO2.
What else can I help you with?
What devise that use the chemical energy of hydrogen to produce electricity?
Generator that utilizes Hydrogen is called "Fuel Cell" it is an Electrochemical Energy Conversion Device that converts the chemicals Hydrogen and Oxygen into Water and during this process the Electricity is generated.
What Ways do we turn hydrogen into energy we can use?
Hydrogen can be turned into energy through processes like fuel cells, where hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce electricity, water, and heat. Hydrogen can also be used to power internal combustion engines in hydrogen fuel vehicles, or it can be burned in a turbine or engine to generate electricity.
Why does phosphoric acid produce electricity?
Phosphoric acid can produce electricity in a fuel cell by reacting with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. The reaction between phosphoric acid and hydrogen generates electrons and protons, which can then be used to produce electrical energy. The movement of these electrons through an external circuit creates an electric current, resulting in the production of electricity.
Fuel cells rely primarily on what element for their energy source?
Fuel cells primarily rely on hydrogen as their energy source. Hydrogen gas is fed into the fuel cell where it reacts with oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water as byproducts.
Is hydroelectric and hydrogen the same?
No, hydroelectric power is generated using water flow to turn turbines and produce electricity, while hydrogen is a chemical element used as fuel in hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity. Both are renewable energy sources, but they differ in their methods of energy production and application.
What is the energy of fuels that produces electricity?
The energy in fuel that produces electricity is chemical energy. By rapidly oxidizing, "burning", the carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in the fuel we produce heat. this heat is absorbed by water to produce steam to drive an engine, this engine turns an electromagnet (field rotor) inside another electromagnet (stator) to generate electricity for use. The transformation of fuel to electricity is as follows: Chemical energy to heat energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy. Only about 25% of the energy in fuel becomes electricity.
What do you do with this energy?
Produce electricity
How do we turn hydrogen into energy we can use?
Hydrogen can be burnt with oxygen and the formation of the chemical bonds between the atoms releases energy as heat. Free hydrogen is normally manufactured by electrolysis from water, and this requires energy to separate the hydrogen-oxygen bonds, and it is this energy that is released when the chemical bonds are re-formed by combustion.
Can solar energy be used for electricity?
Solar energy can be used to produce electricity.
What new energy sources are better for the environment and produce electricity?
New energy resources better for the environment are called renewable or alternate energy forms. They include solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen.
Hydrogen is converted into what?
Hydrogen can be converted into electricity through fuel cells, or it can be combined with oxygen to produce water in a chemical reaction. Additionally, hydrogen can be used as a feedstock in industrial processes to produce various chemicals such as ammonia or methanol.
What is nuclear energy for?
To produce electricity
