What is a Hydrogen Powered Car? A vehicle that uses hydrogen as its on-

board fuel for motive power

The vehicles convert the chemical energy of hydrogen to mechanical energy in two methods Combustion Fuel-cell conversion

Combustion vs Fuel Cell Combustion

Pricey Fuel Cell

Works like a battery Only emits water Platinum Band

How fuel cells work

Page 4: Hydrogen Powered Cars Drive Green By Morgan Jones

History of Fuel Cells Sir William Grove invented the first fuel cell in

1839 Used Electrolysis to lead him to his discovery

Electrolysis = When water is split into hydrogen and oxygen by sending an electric current through it

Reversing the procedure would produce electricity and water

He created a primitive fuel cell and called it a gas voltaic battery

Which car is Best for the Environment?

1. Gasoline fueled cars?2. Hybrid cars?3. Hydrogen cars?

Hydrogen Cars!!! Hydrogen cars offer the promise of zero

emission technology…the only byproduct from the car is water vapor

A few of of the pollutants fossil-fuel burning vehicles emit are: Carbon Dioxide C02 Carbon Monoxide CO Nitrous Oxide Ozone

Hydrogen Cars!!!

Gasoline Fueled Cars

Expensive gas, create huge amounts of pollution

Hybrid Cars Twice the mileage of gas cars. Less pollution than gas cars. pricey

Hydrogen Cars Uses a limitless resource, hydrogen. Only emits water

Page 8: Hydrogen Powered Cars Drive Green By Morgan Jones

Fossil Fuel automobiles emit

1.5 billion

tons of greenhouse gases

Hydrogen based transportation couldeliminate this!!

Political Help President Bush has given $2 billion in hydrogen highway research Hydrogen Fuel Initiative (HFI)

Aims to develop hydrogen, to make fuel-cell vehicles practical and cost-effective by 2020.

Political Help Governor

Schwarzenegger is pushing to get 200 hydrogen filling stations built by 2010 From Vancouver, British

Columbia to Baja California

Each pumping station costs $600,000

Transition to the world of Hydrogen Duel-fuel automotive systems will be

developed that can run on either gasoline or hydrogen

Hydrogen infrastructures will be developed…

So the switch from fuel cell automobiles to Hydrogen automobiles will be a relatively easy transition “Disruptive Technology”

Pros Consumers will finally get a break from

the never ending rising prices at the gasoline pumps

Will lessen the dependence on: OPEC Oil selling nations

Save our ozone - Global warming

The First Company To Produce a Hybrid In 2005, Honda leased the first

commercial hydrogen car to a family in Redondo Beach, California

Prices Range to buy a new

Hydrogen Car:$99,995-$149,995Once mass

produced: $20-$25,000

Range to transform your fossil-fuel car into a Hydrogen Car: It depends on the

company but between $30,000- $80,000

And their fast! August 16, 2007 a Ford Fusion Hydrogen 999 fuel cell

race car set the record of 207.279 mph without using a drop of gas

The car raced in Utah and was designed and built by Ford engineers
