2. What exactly is a Hydro gen Car
In ahydrogen car, itsprimary sourceof power isfrom breaking down hydrogen
Theuseof hydrogen usually happensby two methods
Hydrogen can beburned much likethecombustion reaction that takes
placein thegaspowered carsseen today. Thisiscalled ainternal
hydrogen combustion engine
Hydrogen can beset up to react with oxygen to producewater and
electricity. Thisiscalled afuel cell.

4. Ways of Getting Hydrogen
These are the important ways now used :
S.S
5. BMW’s project for hydrogen
car
BMW took the initiative step
to create a hydrogen fuel car
IT tested it’s BMW7 first
time at aug 7 2015
it accelerated 0-60 in 9.5 sec
only

7. Hydrogen fuel cell:-
It gets hydrogen from
hydrogen tank and air
from atmosphere.
it generates power by
using these two gases
The power can be
depends upon no. of
individual fuel cells
used(0.7v)
8. Hydrogen tank:-
It is present at the back
portion of the car.
It as made up of impact
resistant polymer
Power control unit:-
It governs the flow of
power
9. Comparable Efficiencies
Hydrogen Fuel cells at over 50% efficiency
Fossil fuel powered car at 10% - 20%
efficiency
Hybrid powered cars have 30% - 35%
efficiency
Ethanol is less efficient than fossil fuel
- ethanol gets 20% less mpg than fossil
fuels
10. Advantages
Zero emissions (pure water is produced)
No dependence on foreign oil
Ability to harvest solar and renewable energy
Not many moving parts in a vehicle (more
mileage before things start breaking)
Hydrogen weighs less than gasoline (vehicles
would not need as much energy to move)
11. Companies Getting Involved
Ford
- P2000
Honda
- FCX
BMW
- Hydrogen 7
Mazda
- Wankel motor
General Motors
- Sequel
12. conclusion
If use this technology we can completely reduce the wastage of
fossil fuels. We can also reduce the cost of fuel
