Hydrogen Fuel Cars: In Response to the High Price of Gasoline?

The recent increase in petrol prices, people have another reason to opt for alternative means of transport. Increased cost of gas, using May, motivated many people clamor for alternative forms of transport would enter an era in which people no longer have to depend much on the so-called oil industry.
But with the shift to find alternative sources of transportation, many researchers have begun to interact with other types of alternative fuels for future cars. One of the most attractive and in fact the most attractive approach is to use hydrogen power to run the machines. It will be only temporary until the hydrogen battery vehicles will be used as the primary traffic on the streets. BTU, what is it?

Hydrogen cars are relatively new type of vehicle with hydrogen as its main on-board fuel. Hydrogen cars are not different from conventional cars that there is another type of engine to move the vehicle. There are two ways that this is possible.
This type of hydrogen car from the combustion of hydrogen fuel, like what happened with the gasoline engine. Hydrogen engine is actually a modified version of the traditional gasoline internal combustion engines. This process takes place in May, largely the same as the number of combustion of hydrogen gives explosive power, the engine produces mechanical energy to move the car.

The tangible benefits of hydrogen power vehicle, sees that it is using clean fuel source for power. This means that the use of hydrogen as a fuel makes it less environmentally harmful substances and chemicals emitted into the atmosphere. Indeed, the hydrogen car concept was implemented, as researchers have opted for a cleaner alternative fuels for use in the future to replace oil. And it is clear that hydrogen is suitable bill quite nicely.
Another type of hydrogen car developed today makes use of hydrogen fuel cells to power instead of specialized internal combustion engine. In this set-up, hydrogen is used to generate electricity and that can be used to the car of an electric motor. So emissions avoided entirely, unlike a car with the internal combustion engine (ICE) that run on hydrogen.

Although the use of hydrogen fuel cells Eye is to have a better chance for hydrogen cars energy in the future, May next plan still some obstacles. One of them, hydrogen fuel cells are too expensive to deal with existing technologies. Not only that hydrogen fuel cells also usually very vulnerable and sensitive to vibration and sudden movements. Engineers are still trying to develop and type of hydrogen fuel cells, which are strong enough to withstand the vibrations often strike, which usually comes with traveling by car. And at the same time, it would be necessary for a better and more affordable technology for the manufacture of hydrogen fuel cells, to make it cheaper for consumers.

But despite the problems that have so far on the development of a hydrogen car, his future remains very bright. What makes it especially attractive vehicles hydrogen batteries so that hydrogen is a renewable source of energy. This is unlike fossil fuels, which takes place sooner or later, and could lead to even greater increases in the price of gasoline. Hydrogen cars would be the logical alternative to the world searching for a means to move away from too much dependence on fossil fuels.
