Why is hydrogen a bad fuel?
It would be simplistic to claim that hydrogen is a bad fuel, but hydrogen does present certain complications as a fuel. Because it is a gas, it is not as easy to store as a liquid fuel such as gasoline. And depending upon how it is stored, it is more likely to explode, in the event of an accident, than gasoline would be. But in some ways hydrogen is an excellent fuel. The only combustion product of burning hydrogen is water. It is completely nonpolluting. And since hydrogen can be made from water (by electrolysis) there is in principle an unlimited supply, as long as you can generate the electricity needed to perform the electrolysis.
Why is hydrogen gas a good option for an alternative fuel to fossil fuel?
fossil fuel may be depleted soon. but hydrogen gas can me made available. also, if there are cheaper ways to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, then the better it is as water is available everywhere ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fuel cells produce hydrogen gas from fossil fuels, and renewable fuel sources. Hydrogen can also be made from other energy (electric) sources and electrolysis of water, but compressing and transporting it poses it's own problems. Despite this, the production of hydrogen as a fuel source uses more energy than can be gained from the hydrogen itself.
Why does the amount of hydrogen in a star decrease?
Because Hydrogen is the fuel of Stars, hydrogen consumed and Helium is formed.
What are the bad things about hydrogen fuel?
Hydrogen is very reactive and inclined to catch fire if it leaks, and to be useful in transportation it has to be kept at very high pressure and very low temperature. On the other hand it does not contain carbon so no harmful greenhouse gases are produced by burning hydrogen.
Where does the hydrogen we use as a fuel come from?
Some industrial chemistry gives hydrogen as a by product fro example the electrolysis of brine (salt water) would give hydrogen. We can also electrolyse water to give hydrogen for fuel.
What is a bad thing about hydrogen fuel cells?
There are two problems with hydrogen fuel cells. One is that the cars that run off of hydrogen fuel cells are very expensive to make another thing is that hydrogen storage is not easy. The work and money it would take to put up hydrogen stations around the country for cars is too much to even consider it. Also another problem with hydrogen is te oil companies that don't wanna lose their business.

Are biofuels inquiry compatible with hydrogen fuel?
no because they are a totally different thing
Why mix glycol to the fuel?
Don't, very bad thing.
What is the byproduct of hydrogen fuel cell?
Water is the benefit of a hydrogen fuel cell ;)
Is fuel a combustable?
Yes. Any thing that combusts (burns) can be used as a fuel (some examples are: wood, coal, oil, gas, hydrogen, food, etc)
Is Hydrogen Fuel Cells supposed to be capitalized?
No. Hydrogen fuel cell is not a title. You would only capitalize hydrogen if it was at the beginning of a sentence, as I did with this one. Otherwise, you would say 'hydrogen fuel cell'.
How can you tell if you have a bad filter or a bad fuel pump on a mpv?
The best thing to do is replace the fuel filter anyway. You will need to do it even if the fuel pump is bad, so you have nothing to lose. You can listen to hear iif the fuel pump is kicking on at all. If it is, just do the fuel filter. Its much cheaper and easier than the fuel pump. Then you can test the fuel pressure to see if the pump is bad after you replace the filter.
Is hydrogen fuel cells fossil fuels?
no because hydrogen fuel cells are renewable
How do you know your fuel pump going bad?
If the fuel pump becomes noisy you can rest assured it is going bad. But, the pump maybe going bad and not make any noise at all. Anytime you have a problem with fuel delivery, first thing to do is replace the fuel filter. After replacing the fuel filter a fuel pressure test will verify the condition of the pump.
What are some usages for hydrogen?
Hydrogen can be used as fuel.
Are all hydrogen cars with fuel cell or they are some hydrogen cars without fuel cell?
There are no commercially available hydrogen fueled cars.
