Ross Lundholm Austin Nelson Period 7 Hydrogen fuel cells Ross Lundholm Austin Nelson Period 7

How does it work? The hydrogen fuel cells get there energy by producing electricity from fuel Fuel cells are different from electrochemical cell batteries in that they consume reactant

Cost The fuel cell tank itself is the most expensive piece in the car which costs 4,000 to build. A Normal fuel cell car can cost from 30,000 to 80,000

Effects on the environment Hydrogen fuel cell cars will drastically drop down the air pollution. Hydrogen cars can be re fueled at home Instead of Co2 in the air it releases water vapor

When will it be available? These cars are already available for purchase However the price is so much higher then a normal car not many people have them

Models Honda, Mercedes, Bmw have models already on the market available for purchase

Safety These cars are much less harmful then normal Gasoline cars because they release no Co2 which is very harmful to our body and environment

Mileage A Normal hydrogen car will get at least 40 miles to the gallon

How safe is Hydrogen Hydrogen is proven to be much safer then gasoline Hydrogen is non toxic, less flammable then gasoline, and it stores safer.
