 | | A hydrogen car is an automobile which uses hydrogen as its primary source of power for locomotion. | | | The hydrogen can be obtained from decomposition of methane or from water and electricity using electrolysis. | | | Hydrogen is not a pre-existing source of energy like fossil fuels, but a carrier, much like a battery. |

| | The Revolution, a lightweight car powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, is as much as eight times as efficient as most standard models, according to its designers. | | | Instead, research has shown that the outer membrane of the dirigible, which was made of a volatile combination of aluminum and iron oxide coating, caught fire from a spark—possibly from lightning or even static electricity. | | | In the clean, "green" future envisioned by energy expert Amory Lovins, cars not only get 99 miles per gallon emissions-free, but they may also play a key role in providing electricity to a power-hungry world. |

| | Hydrogen Power |
| | Hydrogen can be used as a cooking fuel, to heat your home, drive your car, and mow your lawn. | | | Existing cars could be converted to run on hydrogen, in fact introducing a small amount of hydrogen two to five percent into internal combustion engines that currently run off gasoline, diesel, or natural gas increases the efficiency, improves gas, mileage and reduces pollutants quite remarkably (McAlister). | | | While hydrogen is only a energy medium similar to a battery, its much more efficient, powerful and light-weight. |

| | Wankel Rotary Engines - Hydrogen Fueled |
| | Hydrogen has a low ignition temperature so the standard reciprocating engine is prone to pre-detonation and backfiring through the intake ports. | | | Hydrogen offers many advantages over all these, especially electric cars, and with the rotary fuelled by hydrogen, performance is very close to the petrol engine. | | | Battery technology is holding up the whole electric car movement: development has failed to produce a satisfactory alternative to nickel cadmium batteries (like those in the Mazda) or the standard lead acid type which cause so many of the problems. |
