Hydrogen Fuel Cells: The Efficient Alternative energy in Reducing Daily Fuel Expenses

People who commute everyday on public transport wish they have their own cars to drive themselves to work, whereas most current car owners-"feeling every whip of the mounting price of fuel-"would opt for public transportation which they find to be more financially convenient. Of course, cars will not rot in the garage as scientists, academicians, businessmen, and even the government, are jointly seeking for alternative and practical ways for an energy and cost-efficient source of fuel for vehicles, and their collective efforts brought them to adapting hydrogen fuel technology and hydrogen fuel cells.
Now, water can´t be used to totally replace gasoline but to act as a supplementary fuel that will make a vehicle run. Cars run by water fuel cells are made possible because water can be converted into energy through hydrogen fuel technology. The said technology will split water molecules through another process known as electrolysis. Once water is split into oxygen and hydrogen, the properties of hydrogen gas will be a good source of energy that is efficient to make a car run.
Conventional cars need some modification through installation of a hydrogen fuel system for the electrolysis to be performed. Compared to cars that are run by regular gasoline, cars run by hydrogen fuel cells excel in two amazing ways: Reduced fuel consumption and greater mileage (about 50%-60% increase). The energy density of hydrogen is relatively higher than that of a gasoline´s and is also proven to be more efficient as a fuel source. These established facts make car fuel cells the perfect alternative solution to prevailing fuel crisis!
No wonder more and more car owners are greatly considering water fuel cells for their cars since it´s not only easy for the pocket but environment-friendly as well. The only by-product of hydrogen is water, so it doesn´t cause air pollution. Plus, hydrogen is odorless. Less irritating fumes can be inhaled from cars using a car fuel cell.
By the way, cars can be modified for less than a couple of hundred bucks, so for those who want to save on their fuel expenses, hydrogen fuel cells are here to save the day.
