Hydrogen
Cars
Hydrogen cars come in several different varieties. First, are hydrogen
fuel cell cars that run using pure compressed hydrogen gas usually
between 3,600 psi and 10,000 psi. A second type of hydrogen car
is one that uses an internal combustion engine. This engine can
use either compressed hydrogen or liquid hydrogen in its tank.

A third type of hydrogen car is really a hydrogen-assisted automobile.
This is actually a standard gasoline-burning vehicle that that uses
hydrogen created from water as a supplementary fuel to help the
engine burn more cleanly, extend mileage and output fewer emissions.
The hydrogen fuel cell car is the one that makes most of the news
headlines. This type of vehicle has been under development by all
of the major automotive manufacturers. General Motors and Honda
both are testing these fuel cell vehicles with regular drivers now
to gather both performance and marketing data.
Hydrogen ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles are a little
more rare than fuel cell vehicles. BMW and Mazda both have dual
fuel vehicles that can run on either gasoline or hydrogen with the
flip of a switch. The Mazda rotary engine uses compressed hydrogen
gas in its tank when BMW uses cryogenic (liquid) hydrogen in its
tank. Ford has also been selling shuttle buses with hydrogen ICE
to companies in California and Florida.
The type of hydrogen cars we talk about most on this website, use
H2 as supplementary fuel. This is being seen as transitional technology
until fuel cells or HICE cars take over the world. The holdback
is that few hydrogen fueling stations have been put in place to
support these future cars.
So, until then, the technology that makes most sense for reducing
emissions and increasing gas mileage is the use of hydrogen
generators in almost every make and model of vehicle made. Hydrogen
generators may not be the perfect long term solution, but as a short-term
solution they can't be beat.
Instead of waiting for the hydrogen infrastructure to be built
and ditto that for CNG or ethanol as well or for electric cars to
charge in 5 minutes and travel 300 miles on one charge, all one
has to do is install a hydrogen generator now. It's as simple as
that.
Hydrogen cars are the future. Hydrogen generators for cars are
available now.
