How do you make a car run on hydrogen?

Answer 1

It's just called a modified engine.

But the device used to convert hydrogen and oxygen into water is called a fuel cell, so that's probably what cars that run on hydrogen gas use to operate.

Answer 2

You can do it one of two ways. You can either burn it as you would petrol - although Hydrogen has a very very VERY low Octane level compared to Petrol... meaning you'd probably have to burn about 90 times as much to get the same level of performance in an engine... or you can pass it through a 'Hydrogen Cell Reactor' which causes the Hydrogen to react with the Oxygen in the air creating water (H20). This reaction is so intense the energy can be captured in the form of electricity and in turn sent to motors to power whatever. It's Greener, Cleaner and not as Meaner!

Answer 3

To make a car run on hydrogen, a fuel cell system is installed in the vehicle. The fuel cell combines hydrogen with oxygen from the air to produce electricity, which powers an electric motor that propels the car. The only byproduct of this process is water vapor, making it a clean and efficient alternative to traditional gasoline engines.

Answer 4

A hydrogen car uses a fuel cell to convert hydrogen (from a tank) and oxygen (from the atmosphere) into electricity and water. The electricity powers electric motors, which drive the wheels.
