    Hydrogen: Car Power of the Future Abstract 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

    on air electrode, and cost effective composition of non-noble fuel electrode, as well as in response to the high energy demand for portable devices and electric vehicles even stationary power plants [1–5]. Of late, research into the metal-air techniques has been focused on Zn-air (~1,000 Wh kg-1), Li-air (~13,000 Wh kg-1), and Ge-air (~1,500 Wh kg-1) batteries because of its very high specific energy and energy density with open cell air cathode structure [3–6]. With these devices, however, the electrochemical

    the use of hydrogen fuel cells is better than the use of fossil fuels. Each of the two differs from the other massively. They are made in different ways, have different outcomes, advantages and disadvantages, so in order to consider which of the two should be promoted all of the things mentioned should be first analysed. Fossil fuels are defined as hydrocarbons primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas, which is formed from the remains of dead plants and animals. When these fuels are burnt, the energy

    type of change to help not only the environment, but also lessen our reliance on imported oil. President Bush recently announced his new plan that could someday greatly reduce that amount of oil that Americans use by replacing oil with hydrogen fuel cells. Although this plan is a step in the right direction, it is not the answer. There are far too many downsides that could actually hurt our country in the long run. One problem is that the plan proposed by Bush will take far too long before any changes

    the extent of availability. The fact that fossil fuel is the primary source of energy means that distribution is uneven. It should be noted that oil, coal, and natural gas account for three-quarters of the global energy consumption. Indeed, it is estimated that traditional forms of energy such as wood and animal dung form the primary source of energy for close to two billion people across the globe. The realities raised by the use of fossil fuels create an incentive to explore alternative forms of

    Schut 03-18-2016 Hydrogen Fuel Hydrogen fuel is one of two important elements found in water h2o. Hydrogen fuel also is currently being researched as a alternate fuel so were using less oil products. It is created from fossil fuels but can also be obtained from wind, solar, and nuclear power. As fetched as this seems hydrogen fuel may be the best viable option in the near future. Hydrogen nuclear plants are going to be a clean hydrogen fuel source. Also hydrogen fuel has been imagined for about

    escalating and fossil fuels becoming limited, scientists have been researching an alternative fuel source that will be more abundant and cost efficient. Issues with our current fuel source include the pollution that is emitted in our air and water sources and the fact that fossil fuels are becoming scarce. One alternative to gasoline is the use of hydrogen as a fuel source. With hydrogen as a fuel source pollution will be in decline, it has become increasingly more abundant than fossil fuels through extracting
