Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Develops Hydrogen Fuel Cell for Hybrid Cars
With latest technological developments, hybrid cars are gaining ground in American automobile market. Political uncertainty in oil producing nations, fuel prices (around three dollars a gallon) and global environment are top three factors responsible for greater number of people opting for hybrid cars. Investors are ready to put their money on technologies related to alternative fuels.
In the above lines, a California-based firm – Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies have developed an alternative fuel technology based on hydrogen fuel cells. According to Alan Niedzwiecki is CEO of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies, “There is a race on, and I don’t think the American public and the world really knows what’s going on behind the scenes in the automakers. It is a revolution.”
Alan Niedzwiecki believes that hydrogen fuel technology is The future and the technology is going to will rule the road in the decades ahead. Quantum Fuel Systems have converted gas engine on an existing Toyota Prius hybrid car to run on hydrogen fuel. The car produces no emission and has a fuel efficiency of 25 km/litre.
According to CEO Alan Niedzwiecki the only roadblock in the success of hydrogen fuel is, “And what’s taking a little bit longer to develop is — you and I don’t want to open the hood of the fuel cell, we wouldn’t know how to work on it. So it has to be perfected to the point where that car can go a very, very long time before we even look at the power plant.”
Hydrogen fuel sounds great but don’t we make Hydrogen from fossil fuels in the first place???
This is pretty good what you are now doing to efficiently increase the potential to increase the rpm and increase the speed of the hybrid car , but dont you think professor that it would be easier if it had a more earodinamic chaped? and what if you spend the energy on thrusting the car forward just pull it forward by devicing an electromagnetic chamber to decrease or increase the magnetic force inside the car so it will be on a ratio to the earth’s magnetic field? well thank for listening . if you have any ideas mail me. Thank You
