Scorpion Hydrogen Car - Going Green With Hydrogen Cars

Scorpion Hydrogen Car

Scorpion Hydrogen Car talks about a new breed of sports car from Ronn Motors. The Scorpion hydrogen sports car uses an advanced H2GO system to produce hydrogen as the car needs it. This article talks about the benefits of this car and the technology behind it.

Scorpion Hydrogen Sports Car

OK focus. Speed. I am speed. One winner 42 losers, I eat losers for breakfast. Green. I am Green…

The V-6 Engine takes this sleek original from 0 to 200mph fast enough to make Lightening McQueen’s tires spin. For those readers without kids, that’s another way of saying fast, really fast. The Scorpion hydrogen hybrid can move, it’s unbelievably sexy and it’s green. Environmentally green that is, with zero emission proprietary technology unlike any other car in the world.

Co2 emissions are reduced to nearly nil using an alternative, hydrogen on demand approach. To diminish negative environmental impact further, this approach increases fuel mileage by up to 40%. The Scorpions hydrogen on demand system is a unique on board hydrogen creation and injection process invented by the cars creators. It is designed specifically for this vehicle, although plans for expansion appear a definite probability. The system provides 40 miles to the gallon efficiency.

The hydrogen on demand system is what makes this luxury sports car really special. The Scorpion is run largely, not completely but significantly, on water! This technology consists of a system that generates hydrogen and oxygen from distilled water in real time as the car drives along. The system then delivers these gases to the air intake of an internal combustion engine.

This custom technology splits water molecules into a gaseous form to provide additional and more efficient combustion of existing fuel. Using an electrolysis process to separate water into Hydrogen and Oxygen (a gas), it adds these gasses to the vapors. The Hydrogen atoms adhere to the fuel vapors and completely burn all the fuel and the Hydrogen. Cars can utilize the resulting gases to boost the efficiency of the fuel combustion by combining with the fuel vapor. Very technical but also very cool!

The greatest concern about the hydrogen on demand system has been over safe storage of highly combustible compounds. The Ronn Car Company has addressed this concern in the Scorpion with H2GO™. H2GO creates hydrogen as a vehicle is driven on the road and does not use an on-board high pressure storage tank because the hydrogen is injected directly into the engine. This alternative approach provides the Scorpion with a very economical 40 miles per gallon and reduces CO2 emissions to nearly zero. This hydrogen engine burns fuel in the same way that gasoline engines do, meaning they can be filled up at the petrol station and that is important.

Because of course the BIG advantage of the Scorpion over other hybrids is that this beauty does not need to be plugged in. The hydrogen is produced on board and this difference is hugely significant because filling up the Scorpion does not involve visiting a specialized station, or having to use home or away recharging bases. For consumers, that convenience really matters.

This car looks good too! Standard color options include black, grey, yellow, orange, red, green of course, and blue. The body is made of hand built carbon fiber which is not only beautiful to look at, but furthers efficiency in terms of reducing drag. Carbon fiber is a special material in its own right used on vehicles, aircraft, space ships and racing cars of distinction since the early 80s.

The carbon fiber sits over a chrome-moly chassis powered by an Acura V-Tech, V-6, type S, 3.5 liter power-plant, with a close ratio six-speed transmission. The car sports 450 horsepower twin turbo chargers.

If that isn’t enough to take your breath away, then the additional features certainly will. Standard specs and optional extras include; GPS guidance system, Bose eight speaker sound, Lamborghini style doors, heated leather seats and 0 to 60 acceleration in 3 seconds.

This is a car that sceptics in the past said couldn’t be built; it defied the laws of mechanics; the engines would be too volatile; a whole raft of reasons this car would not work have been put to rest. The car enthusiast and the environment, that unlikely combination, both benefit from this exceptional vehicle.

The dreamers have prevailed.

Hydrogen Car Conversion (NEW!) - Hydrogen fuel burns up to eight times more efficiently than petroleum and there are hydrogen cars which are now for sale to the general public so the concept isn’t just a dream anymore. Unfortunately most hydrogen cars are really expensive and out of reach of many car consumers. If you can’t afford something in the 150K price range than a conversion is probably your best bet...

X7 Hydrogen Car - Hydrogen fuel is one of the most compelling innovations of the 21st Century, with countless possible future applications. We are starting to finally see hydrogen powered fuel cells used in mainstream technology, although as of yet, many designers and manufacturers still do not realise the potential of this technology. Thames and Kosmos, the company famous for their science kits, have recently unveiled their latest innovation, the X7 Hydrogen car...

Do Hydrogen Cars Work - Do hydrogen cars really work? The answer is definitely “yes”. Because fossil fuels are destined to run out eventually, hydrogen was introduced as a fuel source in a combustion engine rather than gasoline. There are also innovators using hydrogen to create electric energy to power up a vehicle instead of using gas. As research and development continues, hydrogen cars promise to be the green wave of the future...

First Hydrogen Car - Hydrogen, the first element on the periodic table and the most abundant element in the universe, has powered the fusion reactions of stars for billions of years. On Earth, attempts to use it as a fuel date back over 200 years, when Swiss inventor Francois Isaac de Rivaz used both hydrogen and oxygen gas to power the first internal combustion engine in 1806. While Rivaz’s vehicle was commercially unsuccessful, additional attempts were made to harness hydrogen as a fuel over the next 150 years, meeting with limited success. In 1966 the world’s first hydrogen Car, the 1966 GM Electrovan, was built, and the age of hydrogen cars as we know them was born...

Hydrogen Car Plans - The auto industry worldwide is facing unprecedented challenges. In addition to the financial hits taken recently, the auto industry has also been perceived as stagnant and out of touch.

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....

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...
