Volvo has a concept car, the C30, which is a plug-in electric vehicle. The range is 94 miles. Volvo is researching adding a fuel cell which would extend the range another 155 miles. To overcome the lack of hydrogen fuel availability, Volvo is working on a reformer that will extract hydrogen from gasoline. This seems counterproductive at first glance. The process has an 85 percent efficiency rate and eliminates the need for hydrogen fuel stations.

Which is an advantage of the hydrogen fuel cell over gasoline engines?
the product in hydrogen cells is not a greenhouse gas can also be: The product in the fuel cell reaction is not a greenhouse gas - apex :)
What are fuel cells replace?
Fuel cells are basically a storage device for energy. In the cars on the road today they are gasoline tanks. In hybrid cars, they are gasoline tanks and batterys. In GM's Hydrogen car, the fuel cell is the Hydrogen tank.
What fuel is used in a fuel cell automobile engine?
Fuel cells operate by combining hydrogen and oxygen without actual combustion as in gasoline engines. A catalyst separates the electrons and protons to combine the elements. (Some versions of fuel cells are high-temperature only.) Hydrogen gas
What is the byproduct of hydrogen fuel cell?
Water is the benefit of a hydrogen fuel cell ;)
How much hydrogen does it take to drive a car?
It depends how far you want to go, how fast, and how big your car is! But when you ask a vague question you get a vague answer... a lot. The energy density of hydrogen is much lower than gasoline, even when it is highly compressed.
How many miles per gallon do hydrogen cars get?
Hydrogen cars typically have a fuel efficiency equivalent to around 60-70 miles per gallon of gasoline. However, this can vary depending on the specific fuel cell technology and driving conditions.
How does hydrogen fuel cell differ from electrochemical cell?
A hydrogen fuel cell is a type of electrochemical cell that produces electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen to generate power. The key difference is that in a hydrogen fuel cell, the reactants (hydrogen and oxygen) are continuously supplied externally to sustain the electricity generation process, while in a typical electrochemical cell, the reactants are contained within the cell and eventually get depleted.
Can a car be run on hydrogen gas?
There are a couple ways you could run a car on hydrogen. First is to just burn the hydrogen, but you would need a LOT of hydrogen to power a car--about 2 cubic feet of it at 3000 psi (which is the pressure in a tank from a welding shop) per each gallon of gasoline you don't want to use. The other is to make an electric car with a hydrogen-powered fuel cell.
Water Hybrid Cars Increase Gas Mileage And Lower Carbon Emissions?
Water hybrid vehicles still rely on gasoline as fuel. Water hybrid vehicles need an HHO, a hybrid hydrogen oxygen system. The HHO is a fuel cell that breaks water down into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen gas is added to the gasoline to enhance combustion. When the hydrogen gas is ignited in the cylinders it converts back to water. Not only do water hybrid cars increase gas mileage, they clean out carbon from the exhaust gas.
Where is the hydrogen cell used in the US?
Hydrogen engines.
Which is larger a living cell or an atom of hydrogen?
A living cell is much larger than an atom of hydrogen. A living cell can be as much 10,000 times larger in size compared to a single hydrogen atom.
Are all hydrogen cars with fuel cell or they are some hydrogen cars without fuel cell?
There are no commercially available hydrogen fueled cars.
