Is it going to be worth while looking at hydrogen as an alternate fuel to power our automobiles, since it is going to be more expensive. Also, how often will an automobile need to be refilled, and how many fuel stations are now in operation?

AT this time it will be very expensive. Like Rolex watches, the more they make the cheaper it will become. If most of the cars run on hydrogen I think it will be less than gasoline is now.

as much as its been on the news. the fuel is about 4 to 5 a gallon and runs better and longer. there are several in california areas being tested and about 20 stations. other countries are doing the same. the catch is the cars are proto-type and have a cost of around a million right now.

In Who Killed the electric powered motor vehicle, they stated a number of factors adverse to gas cells. a million. The infrastructure is yet to be carried out, at the same time as you may want to theoretically plug an electric powered motor vehicle everywhere, you'd be confusing pressed to discover an hydrogen cellular at your 7-11. 2. They fail in chilly climate. 3. they'd cost $a million,000,000 apiece at the same time as an electric powered motor vehicle would cost $30,000 to $100,000 apiece. 4. The technologies heavily isn't attainable for yet another 15 to 30 years. it style of feels the oil hungry Republicans are enthusiastic about gas cells because they're so unrealistic and far-fetched that they pose no probability to the status quo, compared to electric powered vehicles. Plus they are going to pay lip provider to components through putting forward they're all about the surroundings.

theorically, Hydrogen will be split from water, (H2O)2 parts hydrogen, 1 part oxygen, both are needed for combustion, the hard part comes from the amount of electricity need to split them is more than they produce, but I'm alittle behind on the new technology, so i hope i'm wrong and we'll be filling at home with distilled water soon

hydrogen is a ways out as a practical solution the brazil idea of e85 derived from sugar cane is much easier, cheaper and already in use through much of south america

Currently it takes as much energy to make hydrogen as you get out of it for energy purposes. You also need to have lead tires so your vehicle doesn't float away (okay that is not true.)
Check out this page and other pages on this site. It is interesting.
