The HY-WIRE concept car uses hydrogen fuel cells instead of an engine or hydraulic systems. It has a fuel cell stack that powers an electric motor and uses drive-by-wire technology instead of mechanical linkages. The car has a central computer that controls acceleration via hand controls on either side of the driver interface, which uses LCD screens instead of mirrors. The hydrogen fuel is stored in composite cylinders and the fuel cells produce electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen to power the vehicle without pollution.

2. INTRODUCTION :
 In HY-WIRE , HY stands for hydrogen.
 Instead of hydraulic linkage and engine it contain a
fuel cell.
 The autonomy is a car which combines a hydrogen
fuel cell with drive by wire technology.

3. DESIGN :
 In the HY WIRE, the conventional car layout has been
revamped.
 The skateboard itself contains crumple zones.

4. X-DRIVE:
 The X-Drive
contains two
electronic
monitors.
 The driver
accelerate with
either the right or
left hand.

5. DRIVERS INTERFACE :
 Instead of mirrors
multiple LCD
displays are used.

6. HY-WIRE BASICS:
 Instead of engine, it has a fuel cell stack,which powers an
electric motor connected to the wheels.
 Instead of mechanical and hydraulic linkages, it has drive by
wire system.

7. FUEL-CELL STACK:
 The hydrogen fuel is stored in three cylindrical tanks.
 The tanks are made of a special carbon composite
material.

8. POWER :
 Fuel cells structure is similar to the battery.
 But continually recharge a fuel cell by adding hydrogen fuel.

9. CHEMICAL REACTION:
Anode side:
2H2 4H + 4e
Cathode side:
O2 + 4H + 4e 2H2O
Net reaction:
2H2 + O2 2H2O
+ _

11. CONTROL :
 The HY-WIRE’s “brain” is a central computer housed in the
middle of the chassis.

12. SPECIFICATON :
 TOP SPEED: 100 miles per hour (161 kph).
 FUEL-CELL POWER: 94 kwts continuous , 129 kwts
peak.
 FUEL-CELL-STACK VOLTAGE: 125-200 volts.

14. ADVANTAGES :
 The problem with fuel consumption and pollution can be
minimized.
 High flexibility.
 High stability.
 High spacious.

15. FUTURE OF HY-WIRE:
 Fuel cell offer a promissing alternative.
 They need to be compelling,affordable,and profitable.
 The main challenge I in the field of storage of hydrogen.

16. CONCLUSION :
 The HY-WIRE concept has so profoundly brought about
change in automobile industry.
 GM and other auto makers are planning to launch such a
vehicle for public usage by the year 2020.
