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 else can I help you with?
Can you use hydrogen peroxyde in a fuel cell?
Hydrogen peroxide can be used in certain types of fuel cells called direct borohydride fuel cells. In these fuel cells, hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxidant in place of oxygen. However, the efficiency and practicality of using hydrogen peroxide in fuel cells is still being researched and developed.
What metals are used in a hydrogen fuel cell?
Hydrogen fuel cells typically use platinum and palladium as catalysts to facilitate the electrochemical reactions that generate electricity. These metals play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of the fuel cell by promoting the splitting of hydrogen molecules into protons and electrons.
Why you can not used fuel of pure hydrogen?
Pure hydrogen is challenging to use as a fuel source because of several reasons. Firstly, it is difficult to store and transport hydrogen due to its low density and high flammability. Additionally, the infrastructure for hydrogen fueling stations is not as developed as other fuel sources, making it less convenient for everyday use. Finally, producing hydrogen on a large scale often requires energy-intensive processes that can offset the environmental benefits of using it as a clean fuel.
How do you use fuel in a sentence?
I need to fill up the car with fuel before we leave on our road trip.
Where does the hydrogen we use as a fuel come from?
Hydrogen used as a fuel can be produced through various methods such as electrolysis of water, steam methane reforming, or through by-product processes in industries like chlor-alkali. These methods allow us to generate hydrogen without relying solely on fossil fuels.
Why people think they should use hydrogen as a fuel for car?
they should because otherwise the car won't move
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.
What device allows a car to use hydrogen gas to operate?
fuel cell
What is a device that allows a car to use hydrogen gas to operate?
fuel cell
Can you use sucrose as hydrogen fuel in the car?
I suppose that is not possible; and also is not economic.
Is a device that allows a car to use hydrogen gas to operate.?
fuel cell
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
What fuel should you use to start a car?
Petrol
What fuel will you use when fossil fuel ends?
Bio-diesel possibly or maybe we'll just have to use solar energy and Hydrogen powered fuel cells (the water produces electricity for the car)
What device allows a car to use hydrogen gas to operate it?
A fuel cell operates on the principle of reversing the process of electolysis of water. The fuel cell recombines hydrogen and oxygen to create energy and water.
Fuel-cell automobiles use gas as a fuel?
No, fuel-cell automobiles do not use gas as a fuel. They use hydrogen gas as a fuel source, which is converted into electricity to power the vehicle.
Electric Car vs Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars pros and cons?
Neither car is available and most likely will not be for some time, if ever. Fuel cell technology is probably closer to a reality. The major disadvantage is that they produce no fuel savings and are not a positive for our environment. Hydrogen is derived by stripping it from natural gas. The net result is that we use fossil fuel to power the fuel cell car.
