How to produce hydrogen gases to fill in the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle?

Answer 1

Well this is one of the major problems with hydrogen fueled vehicles.

Currently the only reasonably efficient way we have to produce hydrogen is to get it from natural gas.  However, this process creates as much CO2 as burning gasoline, so there's no benefit.

Theoretically you can use electricity to break the atomic bonds in water (electrolysis) and then burn the resulting hydrogen, but it takes a lot more energy to break the bonds than you will get from burning the hydrogen, so unless we find a way to weaken the bonds, this won't work either.

Scientists are studying the possibility of getting hydrogen by combining water with aluminum alloys, but they're not sure if this will work on a large scale for a car.

Then once you produce the hydrogen, you still need a way to tranport and store it.  Building such infrastructure would cost billions of dollars, so there are several problems with hydrogen fuel cell cars.

Answer 2

This can not be done at home, only in the fuel cell factory.

Answer 3

It is very dangerous and if u get any oxygen in the tank it will blow up. The atom is so small it will leak through anything.
