Charactaristics of hydrogen • Hydrogen is the first element of the periodic table. • Nonmetal • Colourless gas • Density: 0,0899 g/l • Hydrogen mainly appears in Water (H₂O). • Highly inflammable
Use in the fuel cell • The fuelcellconvertsthechemichalenergyintoelectricity. • It‘smadeoftwoelectrodes, whicharesplitupthrough a diaphragm. • The oxygenandthe hydrogen areconvertedintoenergyandwater in thefuelcell.
Fuel Cell Advantages Disadvantages • Low-maintance • Highly efficient • No fossil fuels are used • Envoirnment-friendly (No CO₂ discharge) • Noiseless • Good start-up behaviour • Hydrogen and oxygen are abound. • Expensive units • Expensive oxygen production
The fuel-cellas an engine in a car • The fuell-cell power plant is deemed to be one of the most-likely follower of the combustion engine. • The tank is placed in the trunk, the electric engine and the fuell-cell in the engine bay.
BMW 760h „Hydrogen 7“ • First ready to go into production car which uses only hydrogen for fuel. • Based on the BMW 760i. • Capacity: 260 Ps • 8 kg Hydrogen suffice for 200 km
