Power of the Future

Nuclear energy is a fuel source that seems to be often forgotten or diluted in the competition for alternative fuels. Indeed, it can supply more energy from a single atomic split. The fact that nuclear decay can kill a myriad of people tends to keep people away from the idea of ​​using it for productive purposes. Unfortunately, for the same reason, the power to move the whole world is still ignored. Nuclear power should be the next major energy source, since nuclear power supplies far more power than other energy sources, is very safe and future advances provide greater capacity.

Hydrogen can be used to power future transportation. In fact, this may be the power of the future as hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. Power can be achieved by using fuel cell technology or an electric motor driven by an improved internal combustion engine. In both cases, the emissions are zero. Hydrogen is currently very expensive, but the technology to achieve this goal is progressing. The big challenge is to get hydrogen from renewable energy. Honda produced the first 'commercial' hydrogen car in the form of Honda FCX Clarity, but the availability of the car is limited

Hydrogen vehicles are vehicles with hydrogen as the main power source. These cars usually use hydrogen in one of two ways: combustion or fuel cell conversion. During combustion, hydrogen "burns" in the engine. This is essentially the same as a conventional gasoline car. In fuel cell conversion, hydrogen is converted into electric energy by the fuel cell, and the fuel cell supplies electric power to the motor. In either method, the only by-product from spent hydrogen is water, but burning with air can produce NOx.

When burning with oxygen, hydrogen fuel becomes zero emission fuel. It can be used to supply power to automobiles and electric equipment with electrochemical cells and internal combustion engines. It has been used for commercial fuel cell vehicles such as passenger cars and has been used for many years in fuel cell buses. It is also used as a propellant for spacecraft propulsion. Hydrogen is in the first phase and the first phase of the periodic table. That is, it is the first element in the periodic table, the lightest element. Hydrogen is so light that it rises in the atmosphere and is rarely found in pure form of H2. In a pure hydrogen flame burning in air, hydrogen (H 2) reacts with oxygen (O 2) to form water (H 2 O) and release energy.
