the most abundant thing in the universe? Hydrogen is the answer! Now with a little bit more refining it will be. Good morning fellow students today I will be talking about hydrogen powered vehicles. Firstly‚ some terms need definition.Hydrogen- a colourless‚ odourless‚ flammable gas which is the lightest and simplest of all known elements.Vehicle- A device or structure for transporting persons or things. Secondly‚ now to explain the ways to use hydrogen as a fuel. The first way is called electrolysis

That is where hydrogen fuel cells come into the picture. Rather than depending on a foreign countries oil‚ to provide fuel‚ businesses today should look to hydrogen as an alternative fuel source. The United States is too dependent on foreign oil. If something were to happen‚ like another war with the Middle East‚ we would not have any oil to power our cars or heat our homes. That’s why hydrogen is the answer. Everybody could make their own fuel for their country by creating hydrogen plants and buying

Hydrogen Concentration Sensor Selection for the Renewable Energy Vehicle School of Mechanical Engineering‚ The University of Western Australia ABSTRACT: This paper discusses the selection of a hydrogen concentration sensor for the use in the University of Western Australia’s Renewable Energy Vehicle (REV). Prior to selecting a sensor‚ it is important to consider the available sensing methods and the specific properties of the measurand‚ hydrogen. The selection process leading up to the purchase

all having their own drawbacks. But‚ the one that will be focused upon in this analysis is hydrogen as a source of fuel‚ and the technology leading the way to making it a reality. This technology would affect everyone in one way or another if correctly used. So we must ask if this technology is beneficial to us‚ how it might hurt us‚ and whether it is worth pursuing from an ethical stance. Background: Hydrogen has already been under the micro scope for many years as an alternative fuel source to us

Even though currently engineers are concentrating on producing hydrogen from natural gas‚ it will be for a short-term. Scientists are planning to have renewable environmentally-friendly ways of producing hydrogen in the future. Efficiency: Fuel cells generate electrical power quietly and efficiently. Approximate

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars: Worth the Investment? Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe‚ but only recently have people been able to harness this resource and turn it into energy. Hydrogen fuel cell cars are one such advancement made in the effort to turn hydrogen gas into electricity. Fuel cells in the car are used to convert hydrogen into an electrical current‚ and thus power the vehicle. Fuel cells convert hydrogen and oxygen into water while producing electricity. Hydrogen fuel

Hydrogen Summary * This is how hydrogen fuel cells work: 1. Gas stored in tanks 2. Atoms reach anode 3. Become hydrogen ion and a free electron 4. Ion goes through electrolyte layer 5. Hydrogen ion passes‚ but free electron does not 6. Free electron runs through external circuit from anode (-) to cathode (+) 7. Current of electrons creates electricity 8. Hydrogen ion enters cathode and combines with oxygen to become water which is better for the ecosystem because
