Two hydrogen molecules combine with one oxygen molecule to form two molecules of water. This is the combustion of hydrogen. The end product is water vapor. In the burning process, energy is released much the same way that gasoline burns in a car engine. Same process, different fuels. But in this case, there are no noxious byproducts of combustion - only water.
There are no commercially available hydrogen fueled cars.
in water factories and to fuel cars in water factories and to fuel cars
Hydrogen can be used as fuel in carsbecause it don't cause any pollution
Liquid hydrogen IS used as a fuel. It's used in rockets - and some cars.
Hydrogen fuel cell cars seem to be the wave of the future. This website gives you links to all of the dealers with available hydrogen fuel cell cars: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/fcv_links.shtml
Hydrogen fuel cell cars are simply electric cars with a different kind of battery. The hydrogen that is stored in a tank runs to the (in this example case) Proton Exchange Membrane, where the hydrogen nucleus, a proton, passes through the membrane, while the electrons must stay behind. To get back to the hydrogen atoms, which are already mingling with oxygen atoms, the electrons pass around the membrane and are captured in an electrical circuit and forced to do work (like run a motor) before they can be reunited with the hydrogen and oxygen. once reunited, the resulting chemical is just hydrogen and oxygen; water.
Yes, the FCX Clarity FCEV is officially out on the road. This is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.
Possibly. Hydrogen car cost more then hybrid cars. But as of today, those cars are possibly in development.
it can be used by not polluting the air and it is a safe gas for cars and the environment
Electric cars are powered by batteries that store electrical energy, which is used to drive an electric motor. In contrast, hydrogen fuel cell cars generate electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen in a fuel cell, producing only water as a byproduct. While electric cars rely on charging infrastructure and battery technology, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles require hydrogen refueling stations. Additionally, electric vehicles tend to have a higher energy efficiency compared to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Fuel cells are basically a storage device for energy. In the cars on the road today they are gasoline tanks. In hybrid cars, they are gasoline tanks and batterys. In GM's Hydrogen car, the fuel cell is the Hydrogen tank.
Hydrogen tanks on the few experimental cars that are using the fuel tend to keep the fuel tank above the passenger compartment. Should a rupture occur in the tank, fuel would float away and above the problem. This makes hydrogen a fairly safe fuel.
