Hydrogen Fuel

Fuel cells run on hydrogen, the simplest element and most plentiful gas in the universe. Hydrogen is colorless, odorless and tasteless. Each hydrogen molecule has two atoms of hydrogen, which accounts for the H 2 we often see. Hydrogen is the lightest element, with a density of 0.08988 grams per liter at standard pressure, yet it has the highest energy content per unit weight of all the fuels – 52,000 Btu/lb, or three times the energy of a pound of gasoline.
Hydrogen is never found alone on earth — it is always combined with other elements such as oxygen and carbon. Hydrogen can be extracted from virtually any hydrogen compound and is the ultimate clean energy carrier. It is safe to manufacture. And hydrogen’s chemical energy can be harnessed in pollution-free ways.

trying to save $ for a Prius, but i figure by the time i have money for that the Honda Hydrogen Fuel Cell will, hopefully, be open to the public. pretty much, by the time i save up for the Prius, the new Honda hydro. cell should be ready for release. does anyone know when it will be ready for the full public to use? any info that isn’t already on the site? i’d like to learn more about this car.

We just got a fleet of busses in Orlando, doing a test run for the Orlando Airport shuttle busses, that are being fueled by Hydrogen. Apparently there is only one extant FL hydrogen fuel center.

I want to hear from the serious environmentalists here, is Hydrogen fuel safe, clean and cheaper?

The round trip is a net loss isn’t it? We use electricity to convert H2O into H and O.

Then in a hydrogen fuel cell car, we RE-convert the H and O back into H2O again.

So it is a round trip.

But since every mechanical device LOSES energy through friction and heat and waste, the round trip from H2O to H O and back to H2O LOSES energy.

Isn’t this right? So how will a hydrogen economy run the country or replace oil-burning cars?

I am just curious. I know that different fuels like hydrogen may be used for cars in the future. Does everyone agree on that change? If not, explain why.

I have heard about a water for fuel for diesel engines. It supposedly takes the hydrogen out of the water and burns it. My dad was telling me that it is about two hundred dollars and so new that mechanics probably dont even know about it yet. I was just wondering if anybody had any facts about this… or even heard of it. And if you know about it, then share all you know… PLEASE!
