Want this question answered?
Yes, I some 2 stroke engines for boats have it and KTM is developing one for dirtbikes.
Yes, it is true. This technology is called hydrogen. It is use to break down the water modecules. FOr more information, visit http://drivecarusingwater.com
Yes it is used in Iceland
All countries want oil because all countries use oil as a fuel source
Before I list the advantages and disadvantages, it is important to note that Hydrogen is simply a medium with which to store energy, it is NOT an energy source, such as wood, gasoline, or atomic energy. The reason for this, is that Hydrogen does not exist in nature in large quantities, except in molecular compounds of one form or another... thus, to get Hydrogen, you must first extract the Hydrogen atoms from another molecular compound, such as water (Which contains Hydrogen and Oxygen) or even from Gasoline (which contains Hydrogen, Carbon, and Oxygen). In fact, a gallon of gasoline even contains more Hydrogen than a gallon of Liquid Hydrogen. Thus, it requires us to spend energy to create hydrogen to use in a fuel cell or combustion engine, unlike naturally occurring fuel sources like Wood, which grow/form on their own and only require us to release the energy through burning it (or splitting the atom like in Nuclear Fission). Gasoline is considered a fuel source because even though it needs to be refined, the energy it provides is greater than the energy it takes to refine it. The same is not true for Hydrogen. Some of the advantages of Hydrogen: -It no longer requires us to be reliant on Gasoline as an energy source. -It burns MUCH cleaner than other fuels, since it's only by-product is water. -In Fuel Cell use, it requires no combustion, which means fewer moving parts that can break in the engine. -It is in a small list of fuels which are: widely available, stable enough to be transported safely, and has a sufficient energy density so the fuel tank does not need to be larger than the rest of the vehicle. -Hydrogen can be created wherever it is needed, so you will no longer need to "Ship" it from the refinery to the gas station. Gas stations could simply have their own generators on-site, allowing them to ship stable liquids like water to extract the Hydrogen from. Some of the dis-advantages of Hydrogen: -It takes more power to create it than it generates, so the power needs to come from somewhere else, which can be hydroelectric, coal, solar, geothermal, etc. -Its energy density is significantly lower than gasoline, so you need a larger fuel tank to generate the same amount of power. -Much like gasoline, it is flammable, but can be explosive if mixed with enough oxygen, so the fuel tank must be protected extremely well. -The fuel infrastructure in most countries is not set up for Hydrogen, so gasoline stations would need to be converted in large numbers, quickly.

hydrogen can fuel a car once the technology has been improved.
yes u fool
No man no man no man
Hydrogen could be an excellent fuel for automobiles. The unfortunate part though is that hydrogen is currently made through the stripping of natural gas, so hydrogen would still be using fossil fuels with our current technology.
coal
Wood.
No. To convert it to "Hydrogen" requires a fuel cell and appropriate oxygen / hydrogen separator components. Technology has not reached that point of evolution at this time.
Currently, there are no vehicles on the market which utilize the hydrogen fuel cell. Hyundai has plans to release a vehicle featuring hydrogen fuel cells as early as 2015. However, no vehicles currently exist that use this. There may be vehicles made by private individuals, but no pass produced vehicle has this technology right now.

Developing countries generally lack the infrastructure for researching and developing cutting edge technologies. Thus, developing countries must rely on technologies that have already been proven and developed on a mass scale by other more advanced nations. A big problem with this is that the existing technologies of the world are by and large not environmentally friendly. For example, China is a developing nation that must rely on existing inexpensive technology to fuel their growth. Inexpensive technology for power generation on mass scale includes such strategies as coal fired power plants. This is a very dirty and polluting process that creates all kinds of waste and harmful gases. More advanced nations are currently researching cleaner ways to create energy, but these are either not yet efficient, or they are too expensive to be competitive for a growing nation.
Water is the benefit of a hydrogen fuel cell ;)
