You can use liquid H2 as fuel. NASA has been doing it since the 1960's. However, the handling and storage of liquid hydrogen is challenging, and may not be within the capability of the average person to safely manage in a personal vehicle. Liquid hydrogen could be a fuel of choice for professionally managed public transit such as busses and trains.

How oxygen's properties influence its uses?
Oxygen is flammable, so it can be used to ignite wood. Oxygen is not condensed, so it can be used to fill other solids. Oxygen is plentiful, so many organisms use it as a fuel source for their bodies' cells. Oxygen particles are 2x larger than hydrogen particles and less condensed, so it can be used with hydrogen to produce a liquid (water).
Can Hydrogen peroxide kerosene Isopropyl alcohol added together be used as fuel?
Hi yes Hydrogen peroxide and Isopropyl alcohol can be added together as fuel and work really good for rockets, so unless your discovery is rocket propelled. I wouldn't use it, otherwise go ahead. Harrie
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.
What is model rocket fuel made of?
For liquid fuel systems it may be: "Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen - used in the Space Shuttle main engines * Gasoline and liquid oxygen - used in Goddard's early rockets * Kerosene and liquid oxygen - used on the first stage of the large Saturn V boosters in the Apollo program * Alcohol and liquid oxygen - used in the German V2 rockets * Nitrogen tetroxide/monomethyl hydrazine - used in the Cassini engines".For solid fuel rocks, it may be a mixture of 72% nitrate, 24% carbon and 4% sulfur. See the link for more info. If you mean the stuff that is used in the giant fuel tank that is attached to a departing space shuttle, then it is almost entirely liquid O2 (liquid oxygen). However "rocket fuel" is defined as: Any of the substances or mixtures of substances that can burn rapidly with controlled combustion to produce large volumes of gas at high pressures and temperatures; includes monopropellants (hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine), liquid bipropellant fuels (organic fuel and oxidizer), and solid propellants (mixed oxidizer-fuel in a propellant grain).
How do you separate hydrogen and oxygen gas after you make it from electrolysis?
Use a distillation column. It cools down the gases to below the boiling point of oxygen at high preassure. Oxygen condenses and forms a liquid that can be tapped from the column while hydrogen remains a gas. Why not separate the electrodes used in the electrolyzation process and trap hydrogen at one and the oxygen at the other? It is a lot easier, and probably a lot less dangerous (as a hydrogen and oxygen gas mixture is explosive).
What kind of fuel did Saturn V rocket use?
The fuel was liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.
What kind of fuel did the space shuttle use?
Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
What kind of fuel did the saturn v use?
It used liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.
Why do shuttles have liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen?
They use it for their fuel in most cases but not in all cases.
How much fuel does rocket takeoff use?
500,000 gallons of cold liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen
What type of fuel does the space shuttle use as it nears the orbit?
Liquid Hydrogen.
Why do rockets use liquid nitrogen?
Rockets typically use Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen for fuel. I suspect this is what you are asking. I know of no rocket that uses liquid nitrogen.
What kinds of fuel do liquid fuel rockets use?
Liquid rockets can use a single liquid, two liquids or, rarely, three fuels (more correctly called propellants). The most common type uses two propellants, generally one liquid fuel and one oxidizer -- such as liquid hydrogen (fuel) and liquid oxygen (oxidizer).
Fuel for shuttle takeoff?
The main engines use liquid hydrogen (LH2) and liquid oxygen (LOX). The booster rockets use solid fuel, which is Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant (APCP).
What kind of fuel does a shuttle use?
The main three engines use liquid hydrogen and an oxygen oxidizer. These are delivered under pressure to fuel the main engines.A space shuttle uses a combination of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. Solid rocket boosters use a rubberized compound of aluminum and perchlorate oxidizer.Orbiter main engines use liquid hydrogen / liquid oxygen that is stored in the external tank.Hydrogen fuel is burned with oxygen-rocket engine.
How can you use oxygen in rockets?
Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen are used as rocket fuel, oxygen gas is used by the astronauts to breath.
What are the examples of liquid fuels.?
There are many examples, depending upon the use. Most often, liquid fuel is described as an option as compared to solid fuel. Rockets are one example where both solid and liquid fuels may be used. Liquid hydrogen is the common rocket liquid fuel. Cooking stoves can use solid or liquid fuel, in addition to gas. The most common cooking stove liquid fuel is alcohol.
