Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to form water and gives off energy in the process. This energy, mostly in the form of heat, can be used as an energy source. Hydrogen fuel cells are specialized to react the hydrogen and oxygen in an optimal way so that maximum energy can be harnessed. The source of the energy is the hydrogen gas that is synthesized in a lab, usually by the electrolysis of water (which means running electrical energy through water causing it to separate into oxygen and hydrogen gas). The energy used to create the hydrogen gas can come from many sources including fossil fuels, solar, hydroelectric, etc.

How is the sun powered?
The sun is powered by nuclear fusion, in which hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This energy is what provides the light and heat that we receive from the sun.
Can you find hydrogen in the home?
You can find hydrogen in various compounds around the home. not in a pure state however. Electrolysis can separate water into relatively pure oxygen and hydrogen gas.
Is hydrogen combustible in car engines?
Yes, hydrogen is transferred into the power to move the car either by fuel cell (resulting in electricity) or a traditional ICE (Internal Combustion Engine). Either way, the end product is water vapor.
What is the benefits with hydrogen powered cars?
A hydrogen vehicle is a vehicle that uses hydrogen as its onboard fuel for motive power. Hydrogen vehicles include hydrogen fueled space rockets, as well as automobiles and other transportation vehicles.
Where was hydrogen found and who was father of hydrogen?
Hydrogen was first discovered by Henry Cavendish in 1766 in England. Antoine Lavoisier is considered the "father of hydrogen" for his work in recognizing hydrogen as an element and coining its name.
Why was hydrogen powered car invented?
To use less oil
How hydrogen powered vehicles work?
trees they make oxygen
How are hydrogen cars powered?
Generally, a Hydrogen powered car runs by using hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity in a fuel cell, which is then used to power an electric traction motor that runs the car. Direct ignition-engines are more difficult and dangerous to 'run'.
How did the first gasoline powered car work?
abbott
What year and by whom was the first hydrogen gas powered car made?
read a book fool
When was the car invernted?
Depends on your definition of "car" The first self-propelled vehicle was in 1769-- steam engine. The first internal combustion powered car was 1807..Hydrogen powered. The first gasoline IC car was 1886. First electric 1900. Seems we have come full-circle, the next reliable, available fuel will be hydrogen.
You took a car to the moon would it work?
Yes it would if it was solar powered car.
How to work hydrogen car?
CArs will not run efficiently on hydrogen gas
What do you use with hydrogyen?
in a episode of top gear James drove a car that was powered by hydrogen so you can use it for the car he drive which was a type of Honda
How did the first gas powered car work?
The first car works the same way it does now.
Is a hybrid better than a hydrogen powered car?
it depend on what is your stand point. if you are upper class , hydrogen is the solution, anything lower, hybrid. Hydrogens cost anywhere from $60,000 to $1,000,000, depending on the car.
How does a mouse trap powered car work?
by attaching a string to the axle
