Advantages of hydrogen (for fueling a car) :-
- Hydrogen is a green fuel : Hydrogen combusts or burns in presence of oxygen releasing large amounts of energy, and the resultant end product is pure water. Thus it is environmentally very safe
- Hydrogen is the lightest element in the Periodic Table : It is very light, thus storying large amounts of the gas, even in compressed form will not take much weight.
- Highly combustible : hydrogen reacts strongly in presence of oxygen
- Easier generation : Hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis of water, as it is a part of water (H2O) there are better techniques of obtaining H2 also.
- Low cost of generation : as it can be obtained from pure water, it is cheap
- Availability : As water is available universally.

How fast can a car go using a hydrogen generator and nothing else?
not very... it is not efficient to produce hydrogen as fuel
What planets could fuel a car?
Currently, there are no known planets in the solar system or beyond that could directly fuel a car. Planets are primarily composed of gases, rock, and ice, which cannot be used as fuel in the same way as gasoline or other types of combustible fuels. However, some future space exploration missions aim to extract resources such as methane from other celestial bodies to potentially use as propellant for spacecraft.
How much destructive power would an exploding hydrogen-powered car have with a full tank?
None, because hydrogen doesn't burn all by itself. It needs oxygen and there is none in the fuel tank. It will burn if the tank leaks and there is an ignition source. But it is not explosive by itself.
Is methane a biomass fuel?
As far as a I know methane Ch4 is not used in car fuel , it is octane which is used in car fuel C8H18 .
Are all fuels stores of chemical energy?
I believe it is. Is like putting fuel in your car to run it. Without fuel, your car will not run so is the food to the body. Although, you might say but some people go without food for days even weeks. But realistically after a while the body will become very weak and unable to do the normal things it suppose to do. So food can be classed as a fuel.
What are the advantages and the disadvantages of a hydrogen fuel cell car over a hybrid car?
Advantages are very low emissions. Disadvantage is rarity of hydrogen fuel stations.
How does a fuel cell power a car?
it squirts hydrogen throgh a fuel cell to make electricity to power the car
Can you fuel your car with dirt and water?
No, there is no combustible substance there. However some car companies have concept vehicles that use hydrogen as a fuel; Hydrogen is a gaseous mix of water and oxygen.
How do hydrogen cars work?
The success of the hydrogen car is because the the hydrogen fuel cell. This cell converts hydrogen into electricity and powers the car and the only byproduct is heat and water.
Is fuel that makes a car run an example of a gas?
No, that would be an example of gasoline, or fossil fuel. Examples of a gas would be Hydrogen, Oxygen, Xenon, butane (that some cars run on) etc.
Could a car run on hydrogen?
no because it needs fuel and hydrogen does not have everything in the combustion triangle
Is hydogen a fuel?
yes hydrogen is a fuel because I'm making a car that runs in hydrogen fuel.hydogen fuel is from distilled water then the hydoen is separated from the water.then there you go,hydogen fuel.
What feature in a car fuel makes it more fuel efficient?
A car has to be fuel efficient. It means it has to completely burn the fuel.
What element might fuel cars?
hydrogen can fuel a car once the technology has been improved.
What is car fuel?
Car fuel can be many things. The most common is gasoline. There are also cars that run on diesel, electricity, and hydrogen.
How fast can a car go using a hydrogen generator and nothing else?
not very... it is not efficient to produce hydrogen as fuel
Can you use sucrose as hydrogen fuel in the car?
I suppose that is not possible; and also is not economic.
