Hydrogen as an alternative fuel Transport exporters are looking for alternative ways to keep human mobility. Gasoline is widely used in motor vehicle. Beside gasoline there is another alternative fuel such as E85, natural gas, compress natural gas, liquid petroleum gas, propane is used as substitute fuel to cut dependence on gasoline. Vehicle makers are putting a billion dollars searching for alternative fuel. Therefore, fuel cells could be a potential candidate for alternative fuel. When considering fuel cell, hydrogen cell is coming in the battlefront. This paper will be explained what is reason behind hydrogen cell to be considered future alternative fuel for the vehicle. The fuel cell is a form of electrochemical energy conversion device which produce electricity by a chemical response. Each fuel has two electrodes, one is known as anode produce positive charge and the other is known as cathode that produced negative charge. Hydrogen is one kind of fuel cell. Hydrogen reacted with oxygen and produce electricity. After reaction hydrogen cell produce harmful byproduct water. Hydrogen cell has a proton exchange membrane. According to the American history.edu, hydrogen cell enters into the fuel cell as anode from the hydrogen tank. Later it was ionized it carry a plus charge and negative charge produced current that is used for operating the device. Oxygen enters into the cell as cathode from air and pluck up an electron that is coming from hydrogen and combine with hydrogen produce water as a by-product. The fuel cell generates electricity as long as the supply of hydrogen and oxygen. There are different type of fuel cell such as alkali, molten carbonate (MCFC), phosphoric acid (PAFC), proton exchange membrane (PEM) and solid ... ... middle of paper ... ...assenger from any form of accident. Fuel cell stacks and the battery pack are isolating and separately placed in the vehicle. They use orange color wire to easily identify as high voltage power supply wire. The world is searching for alternative ways to reduce dependability of petroleum base fuel. Environment, public health is considered as an important aspect of searching alternative fuel.. California state has already introduced some hydrogen fuel vehicle on the road. The fuel cell vehicle is considered as a zero emission vehicle. It creates only water as a byproduct, therefore no concern about emission relate gas that is harmful for the surroundings. Hydrogen is also regarded as a renewable energy source because it produces water, this water could be potential source of hydrogen gas. Fuel cells could be future generation fuel for the high tech modern vehicle.
In the article,"Energy Story", it tells you all about basic energy and how scientists found out how it works. It tells you about each part of an electron and what part is what. The center is called the Nucleus. Electrons and atoms move together to create what is known as electricity. Atoms and electrons flow through an object
The Safety Board’s lengthy investigation revealed the possibilities of short circuiting wire systems as a source of ignition within the fuel tank, which would provide the minimum ignition energy required according to the parameters established by the American Petroleum Institute (API) as well as the analysis of the conditions within the CWT at the time of the incident. The he...
Hydrogen lies in one of the copious replacements for gasoline. It is not an energy source such as oil, but an energy carrier that is produced instead of digging and finding it underground. Though replacing fossil fuels by hydrogen fuel cell is very hard and costs a great deal, for the most part, hydrogen fuel cell is a zero carbon emission fuel which highly reduces the carbon emissions that causes pandemic global warming. Hydrogen is very helpful for nature by cause of replacing fossil fuels with hydrogen fuel cells might end global warming once and for all.
Fuel cells could create new markets for steel, electronics, electrical and control industries and other equipment suppliers. They could provide tens of thousands of high-quality jobs and reduce trade deficits.

The fuel cell is another type of primary cell. It is unique in that the chemicals aren't contained within the cell but are supplied from outside of the cell.
Fuel Cells” the author states, “ Sir William Grove discovered that it may be possible to generate electricity by reversing the electrolysis of water.” But it wasn’t until 1889 when two researchers looked further into Sir William Grove’s studies. In the article “History of Fuel Cells” the author says, “Charles Langer and Ludwig Mond, coined the term ‘fuel cell’ as they were trying to engineer the first practical fuel cell using air and coal gas.” After Langer and Mond’s discovery Frances Bacon developed what was close to being the first fuel cell in 1959. In the article “History of Fuel Cells” the author declares, “It was not until 1959 that Bacon and company first demonstrated a practical five-kilowatt fuel cell system.” In the late 1950’s NASA began experimenting with fuel cells by using them for compact electricity generators. Fuel cells have now supplied electricity for many space missions. In the article “History of Fuel Cells” the author states, “In more recent decades, a number of manufacturers - including major auto makers - and various federal agencies have supported ongoing research into the development of fuel cell technology for use in fuel cell vehicles (FCV) and other applications. Fuel cell energy is now expected to replace traditional power sources in coming years - from micro fuel cells to be used in cell phones to high-powered fuel cells for stock car racing.”
Fuel is drawn from the tank by an in-tank or chassis-mounted fuel pump. The fuel pump is the device that draws the fuel from the fuel tank through the fuel lines, to the fuel filter and then to the engine’s carburetor or injectors. There are two types of fuel pumps: mechanical and electrical. The mechanical fuel pump is bolted on the side of the engine block or on the side of the cover of the timing gear.

Fuel alternatives for the future are very important because, we need resources for life. We won’t have fossil fuels forever. It is important to start now. If we did not have any fuel alternatives how would the world be?

Most people today fill up their car with different qualities of petrol, because that's what the average car takes. They don't usually consider an alternative for the petrol that they load into their cars. Although petrol is widely used, it is not the only source for a car to get its power from; diesel and electricity are alternatives to the general petrol used by most cars. Although different from each other, diesel and electricity are alternatives to the average gasoline received at a gas station. Diesel is a more concentrated type of fuel that is usually used by big automobiles because they require a lot of power in a little amount of time. Electricity is a method that uses the power of batteries to produce a low horsepower but, nevertheless fast automobile. Electric cars are generally created to be soundless and environment friendly. The purpose of this paper is to classify and educate the reader of the different types of fuel available for an automobile to use: petrol, diesel, and electricity. The general petrol, used by most people, is usually the only type of fuel accepted on the average car in the United States today.
Recent years have shown an increasingly large need for a practical renewable energy source for such reasons as diminishing fossil fuels and increases in greenhouse gasses. Hydrogen appears to be a way out of this gasoline-dug hole, or at least, a way out in the future. Hydrogen fuel cell cars are being engineered as we speak as the technologies to refuel them cleanly are being proposed. Unfortunately, most of the technologies associated with hydrogen are still in the prototype/pre-production stages and require better enhancements before becoming mainstream. This paper assesses the practicality of hydrogen power in cars both now and in the future while explicating the actual process of how a hydrogen fuel cell works.
Hydrogen would be one of the easiest sources of renewable energy to incorporate into our current energy infrastructure. Since hydrogen is a gas of normal temperature, it is possible to have it be used as a fuel in vehicles similar to current ones. For example, Hydrogen could be introduced into the vehicle as a gas, stored...
