Hydrogen Car Conversion

Hydrogen-powered cars are likely a decade away from mass production, but can the consumer really wait that long, especially in light of record gas-price increases in 2007?

In what has become the “Now Generation,” scientists and consumers alike are anxious to experience this very moment the opportunities hydrogen-powered vehicles have to offer. They can not wait to eliminate the dependability on gasoline.

They hunger to use a fuel cell to run an electric motor, leaving the nightmares of spending more than $3 a gallon of gasoline behind.

However, if the 10-year wait is imminent for major automobile companies to produce fleets of hydrogen-powered cars, how can the appetite for such vehicles be fulfilled in 2006?

The idea of converting existing cars to hydrogen power is becoming a welcoming thought, no matter how far-fetched that might seem.

United States scientific equipment and supplies company United Nuclear claims it is on the brink of providing the technology for the car owners of today. The company will offer a conversion kit for individual owners to alter their gasoline internal combustion engine to burn oxygen instead.

United Nuclear also is stating that each kit will include a device for making hydrogen because hydrogen filling stations are very few and far between.

However, the consumer should consider these very important facts when contemplating whether to convert a car to hydrogen power:

• As mentioned earlier, even if a conversion kit is produced and approved by government standards, it will be difficult in this present time to find a local station that pumps hydrogen.
• An owner making his or her own hydrogen for the tanks is a scary thought. Hydrogen is flammable. If handled incorrectly, a disaster might occur.
• None of United Nuclear’s proposed conversion kits fits a particular vehicle. The company is testing the kits on a Chevrolet Corvette and Mitsubishi Endeavor SUV.
• The kit also requires the work of a mechanic to install.
• It takes on average two days to fill these tanks.

Also, if the kits become available on the market soon, will they catch on quickly? It is true that the public is salivating over the possibilities of hydrogen-powered cars, but all the questions surrounding the conversion might temper the enthusiasm.

For example, the Hydrodrive Electronic Catalytic Converter that was invented and manufactured recently in Madras, India, was not a good sell to the citizens of India. It is being exported to the Philippines, China and Bangladesh.

Vehicle manufacturers Isuzu, Mitsubishi and KIA have tested and certified the performance of the unit with their vehicles and engines. However, even with this reassurance and the realization that hydrogen-powered cars are an asset to the environment, the people of India stayed away.

Why? The price is not right and the availability of hydrogen-filling stations is too scarce. Perhaps the consumer must wait the 10 years to whet their appetite, but until then the thought of hydrogen conversion – if feasible and done right – will always be a temptation.

GM Hydrogen Car (NEW!) - There is a GM hydrogen car called the Sequel that is tantalizingly close to full scale production for the many people (im)patiently waiting for a hydrogen powered vehicle. Environmentalists, technocrats, and people who are simply tired of gasoline prices skyrocketing with no end in sight may yet find their dreams of clean, affordable driving answered....

How Hydrogen Cars Work - A Car That Runs on Water? No Longer Science Fiction! With gas now in some places in the US over $5 a gallon, and even higher in other locations in the world, a gasoline-free car is now becoming a holy grail for car manufacturers. Such a car has been invented and may be available at a local car lot soon. Hydrogen vehicles are now being used around the world, emitting instead of noxious carbon dioxide harmless water vapour....

BMW Hydrogen Car - Question: How is BMW’s new Hydrogen 7 like the hard-earned cash flocks of people are spending to own one? Answer: It’s green! That’s right, BMW’s new luxury performance sedan is being touted as a mean, green, environment-loving machine capable of running on liquid hydrogen while discharging almost nothing but water vapor. And it will do all this while most cars still spout nauseating, ozone killing carbon dioxide. But before you grab for your wallet or sign that lease, be warned: this glimpse into an “eco-friendly” future is a mixed bag filled with both innovative wonders and glaring issues...

Buying a Car ; New vs Nearly New vs Used - Budget conscious car shoppers must weigh the good with the bad when buying a new vehicle as opposed to one that is nearly new or used. In the past, it was not smart to buy a new car because of the financing costs and the taxes added to the listed price. On top of that, a car depreciates in value rapidly, unlike a new home, generally 50 percent over the first three years. Furthermore, penny-pinching car buyers could not fathom buying a new vehicle in years past because .....

Fuel Efficiency - Gas prices are down, some argue because it’s an election year, but odds are they will be on the rise again soon. Consumers will be challenged once again to overcome their fuel-pump fears. The inflation of gas prices in recent years have made drivers look at alternative means of transportation, or forsaking a gas-guzzling sports utility vehicle for a small economy car. Hydrogen-powered cars are steadily becoming more of a reality. Mass-production of such vehicles is now a probability, within a decade. But what are drivers to do between now and whenever their fuel-pump fears can finally subside? The answer: Get serious about improving fuel efficiency in their existing vehicles. Drivers can save money driving what they own now in ways that most have overlooked.....

Hydrogen car manufacturers and prices - Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are now available, with many automobile manufacturers revealing models this year in their showrooms, but affordable styles are still about five to 10 years away. General Motors, which currently has a fleet of six HydroGen3 vehicles in Washington, D.C., announced in October that by 2010 it will widely develop economically viable models of the hydrogen-powered vehicle. The largest automobile manufacture is already in the process of building a New York fleet of 40 cars under the U.S. Department of Energy's Infrastructure Demonstration and Validation Project. General Motors puts a price tag of...

Alternative Fuel Vehicles - Motor vehicles contribute significantly to greenhouse gases but nevertheless the rise and rise of petrol, diesel and kerosene vehicles continues at an alarming rate. Not only do vehicles contribute net carbon gases, mainly CO and CO2, into the atmosphere which contribute to global warming and climate change but the products of combustion also produce additional local pollution. Our apparently illogical passion to burn fossil fuels this way stems from three main factors: consumer demand, supplier economics and national interests. These driving forces are fundamentally underpinned by the fact that petroleum products (from oil and gas) are, for the time being, readily available and cheap at source. Further, up to now, there has been little in the way of competitive alternatives...

Buy Hydrogen Car - Hydrogen-powered cars are catching on with major automobile manufacturers, but will attempts to gain uneducated consumers in this new technology dissolve into thin air?. It appears this new method of powering cars is here to stay, although it looks to be a slow process for it to take the whole world by storm. Hydrogen cars are gaining support from federal and state governments in the United States because of the drastic increase in gas prices, and the growing threat to our environment from emissions released by fossil fuel. ...
