WATER MIXED FUEL
ENGINE USING BLENDED WITH HYDROGEN GAS
SYNOPSIS
A hydrogen
vehicle is an alternative fuel
vehicle that uses hydrogen
as its onboard fuel for motive power. The term may refer to a personal
transportation vehicle, such as an automobile, or any other
vehicle that uses hydrogen in a similar fashion, such as an aircraft. The power plants
of such vehicles convert the chemical energy of hydrogen to mechanical energy either
by burning hydrogen in an internal
combustion engine, or by reacting hydrogen with oxygen in a fuel cell to run electric
motors. Widespread use of hydrogen for fueling transportation is a key element
of a proposed hydrogen economy.
Hydrogen fuel
does not occur naturally on Earth and thus is not an energy source, but is an
energy carrier. Currently it is most frequently made from methane or other fossil fuels. However, it
can be produced from a wide range of sources (such as wind, solar, or nuclear)
that are intermittent, too diffuse or too cumbersome to directly propel
vehicles. Integrated wind-to-hydrogen plants, using electrolysis of
water, are exploring technologies to deliver costs low enough, and
quantities great enough, to compete with traditional energy sources.
