Advantages of hydrogen (for fueling a car) :-

  1. Hydrogen is a green fuel : Hydrogen combusts or burns in presence of oxygen releasing large amounts of energy, and the resultant end product is pure water. Thus it is environmentally very safe
  2. Hydrogen is the lightest element in the Periodic Table : It is very light, thus storying large amounts of the gas, even in compressed form will not take much weight.
  3. Highly combustible : hydrogen reacts strongly in presence of oxygen
  4. Easier generation : Hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis of water, as it is a part of water (H2O) there are better techniques of obtaining H2 also.
  5. Low cost of generation : as it can be obtained from pure water, it is cheap
  6. Availability : As water is available universally.

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 fast can a car go using a hydrogen generator and nothing else?

A car using a hydrogen generator as its sole source of fuel may not necessarily have a higher top speed compared to traditional engines. The speed would depend on various factors like the engine design, weight of the car, aerodynamics, and power output of the hydrogen generator. However, hydrogen fuel cells are known for providing instant torque and could potentially improve acceleration compared to gasoline engines.


What planets could fuel a car?

All of them, given the right technology. * Mercury. Solar power * Venus. Heat exchanger * Earth. Fossil fuels, solar, wind and nuclear power. * Mars. Wind power * Jupiter. Hydrogen fuel cell * Saturn. Hydrogen fuel cell * Uranus. Hydrogen fuel cell + methane combustion * Neptune. Hydrogen fuel cell + methane combustion


What company supplies hydrogen gas for cars?

There are several companies that supply hydrogen gas for cars, including Air Liquide, Linde, and Air Products. These companies produce and distribute hydrogen for use in fuel cell vehicles as part of the growing infrastructure to support the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell technology.


How much destructive power would an exploding hydrogen-powered car have with a full tank?

None, because hydrogen doesn't burn all by itself. It needs oxygen and there is none in the fuel tank. It will burn if the tank leaks and there is an ignition source. But it is not explosive by itself.

What are the advantages and the disadvantages of a hydrogen fuel cell car over a hybrid car?

Advantages are very low emissions. Disadvantage is rarity of hydrogen fuel stations.


How does a fuel cell power a car?

it squirts hydrogen throgh a fuel cell to make electricity to power the car


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.


How do hydrogen cars work?

The success of the hydrogen car is because the the hydrogen fuel cell. This cell converts hydrogen into electricity and powers the car and the only byproduct is heat and water.


Is fuel that makes a car run an example of a gas?

No, that would be an example of gasoline, or fossil fuel. Examples of a gas would be Hydrogen, Oxygen, Xenon, butane (that some cars run on) etc.


What feature in a car fuel makes it more fuel efficient?

A car has to be fuel efficient. It means it has to completely burn the fuel.


Could a car run on hydrogen?

no because it needs fuel and hydrogen does not have everything in the combustion triangle


Is hydogen a fuel?

yes hydrogen is a fuel because I'm making a car that runs in hydrogen fuel.hydogen fuel is from distilled water then the hydoen is separated from the water.then there you go,hydogen fuel.

What element might fuel cars?

hydrogen can fuel a car once the technology has been improved.


What is car fuel?

Car fuel can be many things. The most common is gasoline. There are also cars that run on diesel, electricity, and hydrogen.


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.
