because it is being already used.... hydrogen is flammable and you can convert that energy to move your vehicle. but i think it is not safe to use hydrogen as fuel since its highly, highly flammable.
Hydrogen (H2) releases energy when it is combined with oxygen; however in practice, production of hydrogen from water requires more energy than is released when the hydrogen is used as fuel.
Free hydrogen does not occur naturally, and thus it must be generated by electrolysis of water or another method. A reduction in carbon dioxide emission connected with hydrogen fuel is directly achieved only if the energy used to make hydrogen is obtained from non carbon-based sources. Nowadays (2010) the majority of hydrogen produced on earth comes from fossil fuels.
hydrogen is an energy carrier, not a primary energy source
Hydrogen is a very powerful fuel that is also the basis of what we already use as far as fuel goes. It is the separation of these hydrogen atoms from the fossil fuel that is the source of our energy. Powering automobiles from hydrogen would be very easy, although fuel tanks would be mounted on the top of the cars for safety reasons.
The downside of hydrogen fuel is that it is far from being a green fuel as advertised. Virtually all hydrogen is generated from natural gas and the byproduct is sent into the atmosphere. Net result is that you have a car fueled by natural gas when you are using hydrogen.
Hydrogen has the potential for providing a clean, efficient fuel source. This raises the question, how is it used? There are two processes that can be used to take hydrogen fuel and create useful work, combustion and in fuel cells. Combustion simply uses the hydrogen in an internal combustion engine or gas turbine instead of a hydrocarbon, like gasoline or jet fuel. A fuel cell is an electrochemical device and is a big reason hydrogen is seen a great potential fuel source.
Yes, dramatically. Especially if we switched to hydrogen fuel cell cars and produced the hydrogen in the nuclear power plants by direct thermal conversion without generation of electricity.
The energy produced by the engine is mostly used to power the car, but due to an imperfect design, some energy still remains in the form of heat.
2248 watt power
Power used in what?
Anytime you ask electricity to do anything for you. Turn on light bulbs, start a car, run ann engine, watch TV. Anytime electrical power is used.
Compressed gaseous hydrogen.
it squirts hydrogen throgh a fuel cell to make electricity to power the car
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'.
Yes, hydrogen is combustible in car engines. It can be used as a fuel source in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, where it reacts with oxygen to produce electricity to power the vehicle. However, there are safety considerations to manage the combustion of hydrogen in engines.
Daniel Dingel is a controversial Filipino who claims to have invented a "hydrogen reactor" - a device which he claims to have used to power a water-fuelled car.
It depends on how the hydrogen is obtained. If conventional power plants are used to hydrolize the water, that cars must take on the carbon footprint of the power sources (coal, oil, gas, nuclear, solar, hydro) This could be quite significant. Then there is the manufacturing of a distribution and fuelling network, the manufacture of the car etc.

mechanism is used to power a solar car?
The term is HYBRID. It is a car that uses an alternate fuel for power. Such as electricity, hydrogen gas or a combination of power sources such as gas-electric.
To power a car ================================================================ you're ALMOST correct. Car Batteries are used to start and maintain the power of a car.
No its to dangerous
To power vehicles, for example, it is used as rocket fuel to power rockets and planes.
