What else can I help you with?
Is hydrogen a source of energy?
It most certainly is. I can get an engine to run on hydrogen. All that is produced at the tail pipe is water vapor and carbon dioxide. When hydrogen and oxygen combine and a ignition source is present, water is formed along with a powerful explosion. Oxygen and Hydrogen are very volatile and are dangerous to combine without a controlled environment. The interesting thing is that Oxygen and Hydrogen combine to form water. What do firemen use to put out a fire? Oxygen and Hydrogen or H2O. If someone can figure out how to release hydrogen from water cheaply, you could power a car off water.
Why hydrogen is not used as fuel in car?
It's extremely dangerous (look up Hindenburg) and inefficient.Free hydrogen does not occur naturally on earth, and thus it must be generated by electrolysis of water or another method. In practice, production of hydrogen from water requires more energy input than is released when the hydrogen is used as fuel. Currently the majority of hydrogen produced on earth comes from fossil fuels.hydrogen is not freely availablehydrogen is a gas at most temperatures, and particularly difficult to handlehydrogen is more dangerous than most substances; equipment owned by consumers would have to be checked periodicallyhydrogen production requires resources, and ultimately leads to energy loss.
Should you use hydrogen for car fuel?
Yes!!! However, the hydrogen gas has to kept under pressure and away from air, otherwise it will be explosive. An ordinary petrol/diesel fuel tank is NOT suitable, because there is no relief valve for the hydrogen gas, and the fuel tank has to be pressure built. Added to which the gas lines from the supply tank to the engine have to be gas tight, and engine valve gear has to be modified. It is probably better to purchase a car already manufactured to burn hydrogen, than to try and convert an ordinary car engine. In the engine the hydrogen is ignited with oxygen to produce water only. 2H2(g) + O2(g) = 2H2O(g) . Hydrogen is not regularly used in cars etc., because of its inherant dangers, and also the energy displacement , and the economic costs, of converting water to hydrogen is greater than converting hydrogen back to water. Yes, there is a lot of research going on to liberate hydrogen from water, but so far nothing commerically viable has come about.
What is the diffence between a hydrogen fuel cell and a hydrogen combustion engine?
A hydrogen combustion engine is like the engine in your car. Hydrogen and oxygen enter a combustion chamber, ignite, and form a ball of hot vapour (steam) which moves a piston that rotates a crankshaft. Alternately a hydrogen combustion engine could be a rocket or jet engine where the burning fuel exhausts the combustion chamber as vapour (steam again) and impacts a forward motion to the engine by the mass discharge. A fuel hydrogen cell is more like a battery. Hydrogen and oxygen react in a catalyst matrix that allows the process to continue at a fixed rate. Like most chemical reactions this involves the movement of electrons to create positive and negative reactant ions. The flow of electrons is conducted to an electrical system as power. Water is still the byproduct.
Are car tires made up of an element?
Car tires are made up of a combination of elements, including rubber, carbon black, and various chemical additives. The main component of tires is rubber, which is a polymer made from molecules containing mostly carbon and hydrogen atoms. These elements provide tires with their elasticity, durability, and grip on the road.
Are there any car running on hydrogen?
No Hydrogen is a very flammable gas, there for it would react.
How can you make your car run on water?
You can make a car run on water if you diffuse oxygen and hydrogen and use hydrogen in your internal combustion engine!But then it is not running on water which was the question. It is running on Hydrogen. So the answer is still NO, you cannot run a car on water.
Why hydrogen is not an energy source?
Ever heard of the hydrogen bomb? It is less stable than you might expect. The above answer is not really correct. A hydrogen bomb is not related to hydrogen gas in this sense. You can run a car engine off hydrogen gas fairly easily and safely in a controlled environment. The problem is to find a cheap source of hydrogen.
When will we have hydrogen cars?
Honda has hydrogen car. Toyota has hydrogen car. gm is working on hydrogen car.
Why do you not use hydrogen as a fuel in vehicles?
Hydrogen is a gas and would have to be stored under high pressure in a car to be used as a fuel. In the event of a crash with a car containing a cylinder of pressurized hydrogen the cylinder could rupture and any sort of ignition would cause the very flammable hydrogen to catch resulting in an explosion. A cylinder containing hydrogen in a car is a potetnial bomb. This is why the use of hydrogen is still mostly unseen in the automotive industry
Which is better hydrogen car or electric car?
hydrogen
What type of hydrogen is used in hydrogen car?
Compressed gaseous hydrogen.
Why the position of hydrogen is not conform?
in a balloon and in a hydrogen car
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.
How a hydrogen car works?
You have hydrogen heat it up it make the pistons move and the car moves.
Is hydrogen better or car or electric car and why?
Not because hydrogen is more expensive and there are better electric charging point networks than hydrogen worldwide.
How to work hydrogen car?
CArs will not run efficiently on hydrogen gas
