Hydrogen as alternative fuel???

Question

What are the pros and cons??

Answer 1

Hydrogen fuel does help the environment, but the cars with hydrogen fuel can be slow and you might have to fill them up more often then regular oil/fuel

Answer 2

Pros

Burns clean - producing only water

Cons

Expensive

No established distribution system

Hard to store

Hard to transport

Low energy density

Answer 3

Hydrogen is the smallest atom,so it will leak through most things. If u have much hydrogen in your tank when u have your wreck ,it will not only kill U but possible others. Hydrogen is the most explosive of all gas. The car would produce more NO2 than all others.

hope you can get some cons from others as niether of my hydrogen converted cars have any.

Hydrogen is a great option for the concept of free energy.     I built my first hydrogen cell about 5 years ago and now currently run 2 trucks, my home hot water heater, home stove and home generator on hydrogen for free with caught rain water and the help of a $10 solar panel.  I offer a step by step DIY guide to walk anyone interested threw the process. You can find it at www agua-luna com or you can email me.

There are basically 3 safe ways to make and use it... chemically, electrically and molecularly, the first 2 being easier so I'll only discuss them here. The fallowing steps were taking directly out of a DIY guide I offer to those who would like to run their vehicles or home on hydrogen safely. The entire guide is available at www agua-luna com

    On demand h2 generators are a bit different from the Hollywood versions like seen Chain Reaction with Keanu Reeves, that tend to explode violently every time a film is being made. However when used in an on-demand system there is no storage of hydrogen and oxygen in its gas form, only liquid (water) and is only transformed into gas “on-demand” in small cylinder size amounts. It’s actually safer then gasoline as it doesn’t evaporate, creating explosive fumes in the tank like gas.

    Chemically

    1. You’ll need a 6inch x 1ft schedule 40 pvc pipe. With pvc cement glue a cap on the bottom and use a s***w on cap for the top. Drill a small hole (1/4inch or so) in the side close to the top, s******g in a small copper shut off valve. Place a few feet of stranded (food grade is good) flex hose to the valve and into the air intake of your engine (carburetor or fuel injections).

    2. Now crunch up a couple aluminum cans (beer cans, soda cans etc) and drop them into the pvc pipe, along with a couple cups of lye (Red Devil drain opener has lye in it, some Clorox and Drano’s do to).

    3. Then simply add water, s***w on the top and wait a few minutes.

    What happens in simplicity is that aluminum and lye don’t really get along so they battle, and as always the innocent civilians (water H2O) that the most casualties, by giving up its hydrogen and oxygen. This then builds up in the void of the pipe and is ready to be vented into your engine, by opening the valve. You may need to start your engine on gas then switch it off after the hydrogen starts burning.

    Electrical is a bit easier then Chemically.

    1. Simply take a small solar panel 1.5 amps is what I use ($9 at harborfreight.com), connect the 2 wires from the panel +- to 2 conductors (carbon cores of batteries work well, just be careful removing it from the jacket), but any conductive material will work ie. Copper, aluminum, steel, etc.

    2. Drop the wires into a water tank (I use 55gal drums), make sure they don’t touch each other.

    3. Drill a small hole (1/4inch or so) in the side close to the top, s******g in a small copper shut off valve. Place a few feet of stranded (food grade is good) flex hose to the valve and into the air intake of your engine (carburetor or fuel injections).

    4. Then simply add water, s***w on the top cap and wait.

    After a few hours tiny bubbles will form and rise off one conductor (that’s hydrogen) and even smaller bubbles that just looks like foam will rise off the other (oxygen). I don’t remember which likes the positive and which likes the neg hydrogen or the oxygen.

    The third method is more complicated and is what I use for my vehicles. It’s just a modified Joe’s Cell, there’s a step by step DIY guide available to walk you threw the process here www agua-luna com

It also covers the other 2 methods described in more detail.

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

Answer 5

Fuel must be based on oil like crude oil , coconut oil and corn,olive as long as its combustible and lubricating ,anyway  Hydrogen I have my car with it as fuel Hydrogen as alternative fuel its perfect http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&clien...

Answer 6

Pros - It could be a lot cleaner than gasoline or diesel because they don't give off carbon compounds.  I said "could" because it depends on how the hydrogen is made or obtained.

Cons - It allows people to keep getting around by motor vehicle when they should be walking. (Think roadkill.)

Answer 7

Con is the size of the tank needer to convert the electicity making the car very heavy and no infrastructure yet.  Another CON water coming out of the tailpipe in winter can cause roads to become very icy.

Pro. No more gas bills maybe.

Answer 8

Hydrogen is not an energy source. It would be considered an energy carrier.

If you have 10,000 BTUs of electricity and you make hydrogen, you would get between 9,000 and 1,000 BTUs of hydrogen. Then, if you put that 6,000 BTUs of Hydrogen into a fuel cell, you'd get 3,600 BTUs of electricity. That's a huge loss.
