2. Hydrogen Fueled Cars

3. How does a Hydrogen Car Work ?  In a hydrogen car, its primary source of power is from breaking down hydrogen in one of two ways  (1)Burn it in a combustion chamber  (2)Fuel Cell: Chemical reaction in a sealed cell  In a hydrogen car, its primary source of power is from breaking down hydrogen in one of two ways  (1)Burn it in a combustion chamber  (2)Fuel Cell: Chemical reaction in a sealed cell

4. Power Plant (Internal Combustion)

5. Power Plant (Fuel Cell)

6. Benefits  Lessen the dependency upon foreign oil  Achieve lower prices at the fuel pumps  Cut down on greenhouse gases that produce global warming  Lessen the dependency upon foreign oil  Achieve lower prices at the fuel pumps  Cut down on greenhouse gases that produce global warming

7. Drawbacks to Hydrogen Car Hydrogen Supply  At this time there are very few stations that supply hydrogen cylinders to power a car  $$$$$$  Very expensive to buy a hydrogen car  Very expensive to equip a car with a hydrogen fuel cell.  Dangerous  Hydrogen gas is very volatile!!
