What drives your car?

Don't worry. I'm sure that someone will construct a car with a hyrdogen-driven combustion engine. :-D

Not necessary - we already did:

We at Ford developed the hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) as an interim solution to generate already today an demand for hydrogen fuel and to build up an supply net.

We presented this technique to German Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder on 13th of July 2004 and are currently testing it in a Ford Focus C-Max Prototype:

By any chance, how much is a gallon of Hydrogen fuel cell in the market today?

Hi gizz,
I'm not sure if I got your question fully.

I could find out how many liters a gallon is.

A fuel cell is a device to produce electrical power from hydrogene without emissions aside from clean water and heat. Normally there are many (~100) fuel cells packed together to one device.

But I certainly can't tell you "how much a gallon of Hydrogen fuel cell is in the market today"...

What I mean was how much would a Hydrogen Fuel cell costs to local consumers once it's released? I hope it's not as expensive as crude?

I really can't tell you - all I can say is that the prototype Ford Mondeo with Fuel Cell Technologie did cost about five million US-$ two years ago...

:bump: Ouch!


Thanks ;-)

I think that's why our top management is oviously considering the hydrogene internal combustion engine as an interims solution.
An internal combustion engine does not need that much modification to be capable to be run with hydrogene and therefor is much chaeper than the fuel cell/electric engine
solution.
