Hydrogen Fuel Advantages - The Reason for Further Research

Let's look at hydrogen fuel advantages.

1. Most abundant element Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe, which makes up about 3/4 of all matter! Helium makes up most of the remaining 25%. Oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe. All of the other elements are relatively rare. Anywhere there is water (H2O) you have hydrogen and oxygen.

Maybe the reason hydrogen is so plentiful is because Shell Oil Company claims to have produced this element. Check out the ad below.

2. Hydrogen has the highest energy content. Energy content of hydrogen is the highest per unit of weight of any fuel. Therefore it offers the most "bang for the buck". When water is broken down into HHO, otherwise known as oxyhydrogen or Brown's Gas, it becomes a very, very efficient fuel. The flame is cool to the touch but will still cut tungsten steel like butter.

3. Hydrogen is non-polluting. Along with it's effectiveness as a fuel, hydrogen is non-polluting. The only byproduct of hydrogen when it burns is heat and water.

4. Hydrogen is a renewable fuel source. Again, think of where you can find hydrogen. I have a glass of it on my desk right now. A glass of water. I can get a few gallons of it out of my faucet in my sink right now. And just a few miles to then East of me is the Atlantic Ocean. I bet there are a few gallons of hydrogen there. Hydrogen is very plentiful. The trick is to break the water molecules down to release it.

5. Reduce dependency on foreign oil. We have shown that hydrogen fuel technology has been around for well over a hundred years. Hydrogen is a very effective fuel and very plentiful along with being non-polluting. Just imagine what we could do and where we would be if we were able to harness this alternative energy source and be rid of the stranglehold foreign oil has on our economy, our environment and our security. Something to think about when looking at hydrogen fuel advantages.
