oil fueled cars contribute to the distruction of the earth
Hydrogen Cell cars use a chemical (can’t remember the name) to break water down into its individual elements of Hydrogen and Oxygen. It then uses the hydrogen for the internal combustion.
The oil feuled cars are basically diesel. There is a process in which oils (food grade) can be turned into “bio-diesel”.
I assume that by oil fueled cars you mean general internal combustion and diesel engine vehicles. Just in case you don’t quite know they work by burning fuel, and using the energy released in this process to turn shafts and gears, eventually turing the wheels of the vehicle.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicles work like this:
By a process known as Electrolosis, electrical current is used to break down water H(2)O into Hydrogen H and Oxygen 0 atoms.
In the vehicle, the oxygen and hydrogen are stored in compressed tanks.
The fuel cell is kind of a battery. The Cell contains 2 elements that react producing electricity. The differience is that this battery is refilable.
The oxygen and hydrogen are pumped into the fuel cell. The fuel cell is divided by a membrane; the hydrogen is on one side of this membrane, the oxygen is on the other side.
The oxygen and hydrogen atoms reunite in the fuel cell, becoming water again. In order to do this, they cross the membrane. In doing so, they produce an electrical current.
This electrical current is then used to power electrical motors, which turn the shafts and gears and make wheels turn and the car move.
