could ultimately become obsolete with the hybrid car. There are other means of possible future solutions to our oil dependency, one being hydrogen fuel cars. This is my main personal solution to oil energy. The process of retracting hydrogen from water to be stored within a power cell is genius. This fuel cell is the power source for the car's engine to run. Maker's of this cell are attempting to develop a hydrogen power center than can be kept at the owner's residence for fuel fill-ups. The idea is for water to be pumped within this power center and then separate the hydrogen molecules to be stored within a hydrogen cell. This greater hydrogen cell within the center would be able to be pumped or drained into the car's power cell, ultimately creating an alternative fuel source for motor vehicles. With good intentions, there are already some companies sponsoring further research for this technology. "The FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership includes the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), United States Council for Automotive Research (USCAR), whose members are DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company and General Motors Corporation; and five major energy companies. The government research program supporting the partnership's goals is part of the administration's $1.7 billion initiative

The Hydrogen Fuel Cell could revolutionize the world. This ingenious technology, which creates electricity from the chemical reactions of hydrogen and oxygen has, in its 150-year history, passed many of the critical tests along the path from invention to innovation. Recent developments in fuel cell technology and concurrent developments within the energy and automotive industries have brought the world to brink of the fuel cell age and the hydrogen economy.

For years environmentalists have been screaming about going green, recycling and reusing products, and so forth. So the idea of our vehicles using alternative fuel sources would be a welcomed change. With the dozen of vehicles and fuel sources being introduced, it is now a possibility to add alternative fuel vehicles to our rental car fleet. Through this presentation, gasoline and alternative fuel vehicles will be fully outlined; the history, the sources of fuel, and consumer incentives will all be explained.

In this article “Why the Gasoline Engine Isn’t Going Away Any Time Soon,” Joseph B. White states that alternative energy cars could be the start of a revolution in the automaker world, however, complications interfere with the outcome. Although the author suggests different ideas on alternative vehicles, he contradicts himself numerous times while also lacking credibility of any sources.

The United States of America is one of the biggest automobile markets in the world. This trend has also created awareness for environmentalist to bring attention to rising level of pollution and emission within the cities and metropolis. As response, the U.S. Government is encouraging the automobile manufacturers to produce clean and renewable alternative vehicles that will drastically reduce pollution and emission. Subsequently, the automobile industry has witnessed a gradual introduction of environmental friendly vehicles that use clean and renewable energy to encourage less pollution and safer environment. The manufactures of these vehicles have introduced into the market three categories of electric passenger car

However, some pundits are concerned that adopting hydrogen energy as the sole strategy for the issues facing the automobile’s future is problematic because of the lengthy time frame in which they are projected to become ubiquitous. Furthermore, the present infrastructure for the distribution of hydrogen fuel sources or the production of hydrogen fuel cells is not only insufficient, but slow to develop. As such, fossil fuels are presently the main source for hydrogen production, which means that hydrogen vehicles do not successfully decouple the automobile from a fossil fuel economy. This is also widely inefficient because it will generate four times the carbon dioxide emissions generated by gasoline efficient automobiles. Furthermore, compressing hydrogen for the purposes of

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (fcvs) have not been around for long, but over the past decade that have developed into a new potential successor of the combustion engine. Fcvs function the same as an electric cars but the difference is the hydrogen fuel cell stack. Hydrogen fuel stacks are just multiple layers of fuel cells stacked up and when hydrogen is pumped in to mix with oxygen a reaction takes place. From this reaction electricity and water vapor is created. The electricity carries on and powers the electric motor(s) in the car. The vapor is released from the exhaust and since only water vapor is released, no harm is done to the environment.

This class is an elective for me, so I didn’t really know much about energy technologies before taking it and I must say my opinions on different sources of energies have changed completely. For the whole semester now I’ve been trying to think about what I wanted to write about for my final paper, but nothing really tickled my fancy until watching the film “Pump”. This film has opened my eyes to different sources of fuel we could use in vehicles, but really one particular one stood out to me the most and that was ethanol. The reason this particular one stood out to me the most was the fact that Brazil, an entire country, has switched over to ethanol gas.

Fuel availability is an everyday thing. You just go to the service station down the road and fill up for a decent price. However to produce fuels it is a bit more complicated. Fuel is made by the fossil fuels that are deep in the ground formed thousands and thousands years ago. It was made by dead organism. However, fuel is reliable but it is running out fast, so we need another energy source for our everyday needs. Hydrogen powered cars are very environmentally friendly, they do not admit any sort of harmful fumes into the air. It produces steam instead of exhaust gases. The things that makes this car able to drive is a fuel cell. It converts the hydrogen into electricity producing heat and water as by products. We collect Hydrogen from water,

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are an optimal solution to the continuously growing environmental problems of conventional vehicles. The use of hydrogen as a type of fuel can cleanse our atmosphere by only emitting water as a form of tailpipe exhaust, deterring the deterioration of the health of all organisms. And simply with time, knowledge, and a little perseverance, we can all save the world, one vehicle at a

Recent years have shown an increasingly large need for a practical renewable energy source for such reasons as diminishing fossil fuels and increases in greenhouse gasses. Hydrogen appears to be a way out of this gasoline-dug hole, or at least, a way out in the future. Hydrogen fuel cell cars are being engineered as we speak as the technologies to refuel them cleanly are being proposed. Unfortunately, most of the technologies associated with hydrogen are still in the prototype/pre-production stages and require better enhancements before becoming mainstream. This paper assesses the practicality of hydrogen power in cars both now and in the future while explicating the actual process of how a

For the past three decades Oil dominates the agenda of political discussion. With scares over price volatility, sizes of reserves, international imports and least of which are the environmental impacts due to carbon dioxide and other emissions. Various speculations and educated guesses place our total depletion of crude oil within the next 50 years and there is a general consensus between environmentalists that we steer toward a hydrogen transportation system given the projected work and nonexistent carbon dioxide emissions (Environmental Technologies class lecture, Santa Clara University). However many barriers stand in the way of attaining such a goal, most of which pertaining

Nowadays most important objective concerning future road technologies is to create cleaner vehicles, which would be more efficient and reduce emissions. There are a lot of new engine concepts, as well as cleaner fuel types that are being developed in order to create new generation of clean transport. Here are the most promising technologies that can truly make a difference.

I have taken great efforts in this project. However, it would not have been possible without the kind of support and help that I received from my respected professors and many individuals. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all of them for their effort. Working on this project on “ALTERNATIVE FUELS FOR IC ENGINE” was a means of immense knowledge to me. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Asst. Prof. Padmaraj N H for his guidance and valuable support throughout the course of this project.
