What are applications of a hydrogen gas cell? Conversion of hydrogen, methane, methanol, natural gas, gasoline, or alcohol into heat and electrical energy is possible with the help of fuel cells.
It combines hydrogen fuel with oxygen in the air to produce electricity and water.
Generating electricity in this manner helps protect the environment because it is impossible for pollution to occur.
A variety of devices use hydrogen fuel cells including power stations, laptop and notebook computers, radio transmitters, cars, mobile phones and spaceships.
Although a Hydrogen fuel cell does not require recharging, it is similar to a battery.
The small light nature of hydrogen fuel cells is expected to drive the need to produce alternative fuels.
The cost of producing electricity from fuel cells are relatively expensive and further research is being conducted to reduce prices in order to generate power economically. I wonder what the future holds when it comes to water fuelcells.
Can this be a reasonable power source for automobiles, and thus replace existing fuel sources?
There are so many questions that I have about this subject. What, if anything, will this do to the climate?
Will it affect rainfall? Will it affect our water reserves?
Should the concept of fueling vehicles with water turn out to make economical sense, the results will be stunning.
The emissions it would save, the money it would save consumers, it would be amazing.
“I hope the future does include water fuel cells and it is a viable, clean alternative to today’s energy sources.
An electro-car conversion is not for the faint at heart.”
The parts are available individually or as kits, but they don’t come cheap. The price range can climb to about $10,000 plus.
But remember that someone still needs to donate a car! And you have to have at least a little mechanical skill, unlike myself.
Strong mechanical skills are an imperative, but the best case scenario would be if you enjoy doing work on cars and demonstrate particular enthusiasm for electric cars.
If you can conquer these challenges, there will be another one that you will have to solve.
Financing:
Banks will lend money to those of us that want to buy an electric car from a dealer, but trying to borrow, on an electric car that you are going to build, is like raising a red flag at a bull, he’s going to knock you down.
The funding is going to have to come from you. Upon completion, you will be the proud owner of a self-built electric car. You will have determined your own peak power, your own battery styles and you will own a one of a kind electric car.
If you’ve got the talent and the finances, go for it. It sounds, to me, like it would be more than worth it.
