Реферат: Hydrogen Fuels Essay Research Paper Why

bottle filled with a catalyst of a small amount of Baking Soda. I used it

because it was cheap and I knew it worked. Another time I used a 75 volt / 2 amp

power supply with a catalyst of 2 drops of sulfuric acid to a pint of water and

the result was very differing from the last time. I filled the whole mountain

dew bottle in less than 6 minutes. All of that gas came from a little less than

a drop of water(when I light it off there was only a little spec of water on the

inside of the bottle)I can only gasp thinking that that was only 75 volts and

voltage can get into the billions of volts. Although electrolysis is not the

most efficient way to produce hydrogen it certainly deserves recognition for

working and I am sure sometime soon someone will discover a way to produce the

same amount of H2 and O2 with less power and time either with a new catalyst or

a more efficient power supply.

One reason that hydrogen power has not taken off is that there are thousands of

jobs in the petroleum and coal fields. Really who would want to own a car that

requires about 20-30 cents per mile in gas expenses when you could basically

pull up to the water hose every month and fill your tank with something about 20

cents every 2000 or so miles?? So demand for petroleum products would sky dive

and thousands of jobs would be lost and no one except the water company, car

alternator/generator company and the battery company would profit from it.

People would also so angry about losing their jobs over such a change and

boycott the automotive companies making hydro-cars and cause havoc for the

people trying to “upgrade” us to a better system of working. I mean everything

in a car has changed but the engine stays essentially the same. It’s commonly

known that large oil companies have been paying off the auto makers to keep all

cars under the 40 mile per gallon range. There are a few exceptions and all they

really changed was the size of the car. Every engine has the capability to get a

hundred miles per gallon and up with modifications to the carburetor and other

internal parts of the engine. Only half of the gas that goes into the chamber

actually gets burned and the rest goes right out your tail pipe, and they call
