Abstract

As we are all aware of the harmful emission and its causes over mankind & environment due to the combustion of fossils fuels. Though fossils have enhanced the mankind in all the sectors but have eroded their health and still it’s going on. We can’t stop using our vehicle therefore to keep it going we need to find an alternative. Due to industrializations and population growth our economy and technologies today largely depend upon natural resources, which are not replaceable [1]. The solution to this problem is simple. We need to find something that burns quickly and emits no harmful gases or fumes. When studies were done many researcher’s scientist and engineer came across on word that is hydrogen and have agreed upon it so there’s a need to use system which would be hydrogen powered. It is one of the easy available source of fuel. There are many methods to obtain hydrogen but due to large variation in cost and more time period, it is very difficult to deal with it. There is one more method which is easier and cheap to obtain that is electrolysis. During electrolysis of water, ‘H’ ions and 'O' ions are liberated at respective electrode. Hydrogen is purely a combustible gas and oxygen supports burning. When these two gases burns the reaction left over is pure water. This was used to drive submarine and pure water was available for the crew members for drinking. Even the torpedos were hydrogen driven [3]. And next advantage is it produces a buoyance effect due to its lightness. So hydrogen can be the next fuel with clean and clear properties.
