Hydrogen cars use hydrogen as their primary fuel source by breaking it down in a fuel cell to generate electricity to power the car. BMW took the initiative to create the first hydrogen fuel cell car, testing a BMW 7 series in 2015 that could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 9.5 seconds. A hydrogen fuel cell generates power by using hydrogen from a tank and oxygen from the air to produce electricity through individual fuel cells, with no emissions other than water. Hydrogen fuel cells can achieve over 50% efficiency compared to 10-20% for gas-powered cars. If adopted widely, hydrogen technology could significantly reduce fossil fuel usage and costs.
3. What exactly is a Hydro gen Car
In ahydrogen car, itsprimary sourceof power isfrom breaking down hydrogen

5. Ways of Getting Hydrogen
These are the important ways now used :
S.S
6. BMW’s project for hydrogen
car
BMW took the initiative step
to create a hydrogen fuel car
IT tested it’s BMW7 first
time at aug 7 2015
it accelerated 0-60 in 9.5 sec
only
7.
8. Hydrogen fuel cell:-
It gets hydrogen from
hydrogen tank and air
from atmosphere.
it generates power by
using these two gases
The power can be
depends upon no. of
individual fuel cells
used(0.7v)
9. Hydrogen tank:-
It is present at the back
portion of the car.
It as made up of impact
resistant polymer
Power control unit:-
It governs the flow of
power
10. IMAGES OF MOTOR AND
BATTERY
IT propels the car more
smoothly and efficiently
IT stores energy from
the regenerative
braking
11. Comparable Efficiencies
Hydrogen Fuel cells at over 50% efficiency
Fossil fuel powered car at 10% - 20%
efficiency
Hybrid powered cars have 30% - 35%
efficiency
Ethanol is less efficient than fossil fuel
- ethanol gets 20% less mpg than fossil
fuels
12. Advantages
Zero emissions (pure water is produced)
No dependence on foreign oil
Ability to harvest solar and renewable energy
Not many moving parts in a vehicle (more
mileage before things start breaking)
Hydrogen weighs less than gasoline (vehicles
would not need as much energy to move)
13. Companies Getting Involved
Ford
- P2000
Honda
- FCX
BMW
- Hydrogen 7
Mazda
- Wankel motor
General Motors
- Sequel
14. If use this technology we can completely reduce the wastage of
fossil fuels. We can also reduce the cost of fuel
