How to use Hydrogen as Fuel

Hydrogen is fast becoming the fuel of choice that is sure to help you save a lot of money on a monthly basis. These days various companies are manufacturing vehicles that run with the help of hydrogen. Hydrogen provides motive power to the vehicle that helps you operate your car with great efficiency.

Hydrogen-powered vehicles come with special engines that help in the conversion of chemical energy into mechanical energy. The reaction takes place in the fuel cell chamber. Chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy either by the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen or by the process of burning hydrogen.


Important things you should know

There are very important things that you definitely need to know before using hydrogen as a fuel. You will see that hydrogen fuel does not occur naturally on the earth's surface, so this fuel is not available in large quantities. Currently, this fuel source is obtained from fossil fuels that are found naturally on the surface of the earth.

You will see that hydrogen can also be obtained from other energy sources such as wind, nuclear and thermal. These days several scientists and researchers are dedicated to exploiting other energy sources that would help us easily obtain hydrogen.

Advantages of using hydrogen as fuel

There are several great advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel and some of the most important ones are mentioned below.

• A great advantage of this fuel is that it does not generate carbon dioxide emissions that can really be very harmful to the environment.

• As hydrogen is obtained from water, the purchase of this fuel is very affordable.

Disadvantages of using hydrogen as fuel

• The most important drawback of this fuel is that it provides you with very low energy content. This figure is related to the use of a volume of hydrogen gas.

• A very high storage pressure must be maintained when fueling the vehicle.

• Difficulties are often faced when it comes to storing gas.

• Liquid and gaseous hydrogen are very difficult to transfer from one place to another.

• The gaseous hydrogen production process is not very efficient.

• A large amount of money is spent on infrastructure facilities for the manufacture of this fuel.

Using hydrogen as a fuel for your car

 

There are special cars available in the market that run on hydrogen fuel, but if you want to use this use with your car, you need to install a special hydrogen fuel cell in the vehicle that comes with certain specifications. If you want, you can do the job at home by purchasing some specialty parts that are available at most hardware stores.
