Hydrogen Energy


Hydrogen is abundant not only on Earth but is also the most abundant element in the Universe.It makes up over 90% of all the stars,of which ours,Sol is but one of trillions.
So when you see claims that you can run your car on water-do not dismiss the idea,Water after all is made up of hydrogen and oxygen-two elements when in their gaseous state make a very powerful explosive,with the only side product being pure water vapor.
If hydrogen can fuel the Universe,why not our cars and factories?
This just a matter of R&R,no real scientific break through is needed,just a commitment to spend what it takes to make a convenient and practical way mass produce hydrogen,and the money to covert refineries and gas station to distribute it.That and to convince the car markers to produce the engines to run on natures most simple and effective fuel.
With the worlds goverments finally beginning to realize they can fund their re-elections without funds form the oil industry,and with car makers begging for funding,is this perhaps the time to start this necessary process?For a few measly trillion dollars we can completely stop polluting our planet,and have a never ending supply of energy.
There are more then one way to run industry with hydrogen.In the form we address here the energy is stored in the form of fuel cells. The fuel cells happen to be what powers all of the spaceships during their take off. Because hydrogen is not found naturally by itself, the first step to building a fuel cell is to remove the hydrogen from a compound. You may not know this, but Hydrogen is many things other than water; such as, natural gas; a substance that is often used in hydrogen energy. Hydrogen energy is where you are reforming to use heat in order to separate hydrogen and natural gas. When water is used, a similar process, called electrolysis, is used to separate the hydrogen and oxygen with an electrical current. The result of each of these processes is more energy, in the form of hydrogen, than is used in the process itself.

This type of energy has been researched since it is considered to be pure power. An engine that uses hydrogen produces almost no pollution, making it much preferred over fossil fuels. In the space shuttle example, for instance, the by product of burning hydrogen to power lift-off is purified water, which the astronauts than can drink. Therefore, using hydrogen power is not only clean, but also useful. You can compare fuel cells to batteries, since they are alike, however, with the fuel cells you will never lose your charge and it will work until all of the hydrogen is cut off. Inside the cell, oxygen is combined with hydrogen, and the chemical process that produces water gives off heat and electricity. The water can then be broken into hydrogen and oxygen once again, and the process starts all over again.

As for the future you will find that there are some scientists that have predicted that these fuel cells will become popular in use. Today, they still happen to be working on making this method convenient and something that can become convenient After this process has been critiqued to be cost effective, you will find that hydro will become the solution to all of the world’s problems. You will find that this process will be renewable and clean for the environment.
