Why Shouldn’t Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars Be The Cars For The Future?
Reason: Water And Light/Solar Energy Are Free. The Idea: Captures Sunlight And Use The Energy To Break Water Molecules Into Hydrogen And Oxygen.
Hydrogen, like other "zero emission" vehicles have emissions, shifted to fixed power plants, in the case of Hydrogen, electric powered or more commonly natural gas reform plants create hydrogen with an about 60 percent efficiency, combined with the 60% efficiency of the current fuel cell technology gives about 36% power utilization efficiency, about the same as hybrid cars. Seems that a hybrid natural gas powered ICE car would give simpler results with smaller simpler tanks and no platinum fuel cell. Better yet if naturanl gas fuel cells currently used in fixed co-generation plants can be miniaturized for in car use, you would have a fuel cell car tat doesn't require the intermediate energy conversion step, yielding a net power effeciency loser to 60%.
Electrolysis
is the process of passing direct electric current through molten ionic compound
to decompose it into its elements. When direct electric current is passed
through water, water will dissociate into its elements of hydrogen and oxygen

What’s The Future of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars?
by Jimbo'daNimbo 12 years ago
Watching the failures of companies such as Solyndra that the public was forced to subsidize, when and where will we find an alternative source of energy that could replace our fossil fuel needs?

Do you think there will be a time when no cars on the road use gas?

Why do you think the top half of the gas tank always seems like it goes faster than the second...half of the tank of gas?

We have had a very interesting comment to our hub on hydrogen fuel technology and I must say that I agree with part of the comment that was made. However, whether we like it or not, transportation will always remain a central part of our existence and the need to transport food from one place...
