Essays on Hydrogen Fuel.

A hydrogen car is a car that uses hydrogen as the source of driving power fuel. In such a car, the chemical energy stored in hydrogen is converted to mechanical energy which propels the car. This is done by burning the hydrogen in the internal combustion engine. It can also be done in a fuel cell where hydrogen is reacted with the oxygen to run the electric motor. Hydrogen fuel is not considered as an energy source but rather, an energy carrier since it doesn’t occur naturally. It must be made from other sources which include methane and other fossil ...

Abstract

Recently, attention has been diverted to clean, alternative and renewable technologies due to the depletion of petroleum resources and increase of the green house gases from the combustion of fuel resources. Fuel cell is the fore-runner of these technologies and has received immense impetus due to its relatively clean source of energy. Fuel-cells are devices that produce electrical energy from chemical transformation reactions. Electrodes are placed within an electrolyte medium that facilitates oxidation of fuel. In these electrochemical reactions, ions are generated that generate electricity. This electrical energy can be effectively harnessed to carry out a myriad of functions. Since ...

Abstract - The development of fuel consumption mechanisms has been a great revolution of the time. There is research that is being developed to ensure that the fuel consumption is efficient and cost-effective. There are different technologies that are being developed to ensure that this is achieved. One of these technologies for the motorcycle is hydrogen cells. This paper will look at the development of this technologies will also review other fuel consumption technologies that have been developed over time.

Index terms – hydrogen, fuel cell, hybrid electric.

- INTRODUCTION Hydrogen cell technology has been developed so that it is used with the motorcycles. It is a technology ...

It is an economically viable company with its share listing in different parts of the ...

SCI 207 Dependence of man on the environment

Introduction In discussing whether alternative energy sources are the answer to ending the human dependence on oil and other fossil fuels, it is useful to look at the way we currently view the environment as a resource that should be owned or controlled by individuals. This will lead to further discussion related to how this perspective has shaped political decisions related to resource use. It is also important to look at some examples of alternative energy sources and how they might be used to reduce our dependence on oil. In highlighting the role that the government has played in ...

Introduction

Green energy comprises natural active processes which can be attained with slight pollution. Geothermal power, anaerobic digestion, wind power, small scale hydropower, biomass power, solar energy, wave power, tidal power, and certain forms of atomic power (ones that are capable to burn atomic waste by a process identified as atomic transmutation), and consequently belong to the "Green Energy". Some explanations may similarly include power consequential from the burning of waste. Some individuals, including James Lovelock and George Monbiot have precisely classified atomic power to be green energy. Whereas many others which include Greenpeace disagree while claiming that problems supplementary from ...

Introduction

In discussing whether alternative energy sources are the answer to ending human dependence on oil, it is possible to look at the way we currently view the environment as an instrument that should be owned or controlled. This will lead to further discussion on how this view has shaped political ideology. It is important also to look at some examples of alternative energy sources and how they can be used to reduce dependence on oil. In highlighting the role that the government has played in the past and present, it will hopefully become apparent that individual action is often ...

Part One: Air Pollutants.

There are a number of elements that are responsible for air pollution. These air pollutants include greenhouse gases, Chlorofluorocarbons, and Nitrogen Oxides. Greenhouse gases are type of gases, which for a long time stay in the atmosphere thus trapping the sunlight causing global warming (Jeremy 192). Some of these gases include nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and methane result from burning of the fossil fuels in motor vehicles (Jeremy 94). Methane also comes from rice paddies and cows. Nitrous oxides results from decaying plants and industrial sources. The use of substitute sources of energy including wind and solar can be used in ...
