Fuel Cell Cars

Hybrid cars utilize both a standard gasoline powered engine and an electric motor. The normal engine is used to start the vehicle and during acceleration, but once at a constant speed the electric…

Acquiring a working hydrogen fuel system for your car can be difficult, as most systems sold on the Internet are disingenuous to the true purpose of running your car on hydrogen. However, recent…

Starting in 2002, General Motors Corp. was at the forefront of the automotive industry's efforts to build vehicles powered by hydrogen. The company has introduced several hydrogen fuel cell vehicles,…

A fuel cell car is an alternative fuel vehicle. The fuel that is used for a fuel cell car is hydrogen. Hydrogen is a renewable source of energy, and therefore it can be used as an alternative to crude…

Hydrogen fuel cells need testing just like standard car batteries. If you want to test your fuel cell without taking your car to a dealer, you can buy the correct equipment and do so from home. Before…

Hydrogen is being explored as an alternative to petroleum-based fuels. Scientists have found that adding hydrogen, by hydrogen injection, to the existing fuel will make gasoline burn more efficiently.…

Automobiles referred to as hydrogen hybrids are those that make use of hydrogen gas as an alternative fuel source to gasoline. While there are few hydrogen hybrids available to buy commercially, there…

The internal combustion engine, which is utilized in most automobiles, has allowed for the transfer of chemical energy into mechanical energy. This provides locomotion for the vehicle as it is…

Solar cars that fully depend on solar energy are not used commonly, as of 2010. Most practical solar cars have additional power sources, such as a battery or gas. This helps conserve energy.

As the cost of gasoline rises and the environmental cost of driving a gasoline-fueled car is considered, increasing numbers of car manufacturers are developing alternative engines that have a lower…

Hydrogen fuel cell cars have been on the drawing boards for years and, in 2010, manufacturers began producing them in prototype and test designs. Their advantage over gasoline internal combustion…

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) asserts that fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) have the potential to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil and lower harmful emissions to our environment. FCVs are…

Fuel cell vehicles, or FCVs, are a type of vehicle that uses an alternative fuel rather than gasoline. These vehicles utilize a different engine which generates electricity from hydrogen atoms with…

The water molecule is two-thirds hydrogen, which is the most powerful and common fuel in the universe. Modern technology now allows us to extract and use this clean-burning fuel in several ways.

There are a few types of fuel cells available, but all work on the principle of taking hydrogen, or extracting it from a hydrogen-rich fuel, and combining it with oxygen. Heat and water are produced…
