Hydrogen Engines



Hydrogen cars are some of the new technology that is being introduced into the world. Toyota launched its first hydrogen car in 2014 called the Mirai. It is for sale in the Los Angeles area. The car has a range of 312 miles and it takes five minutes to refill the tank. The original sales price is about $69,000. One of the downsides of having a hydrogen car is that the fuel density is very low. This means that you will have to stop more often to refuel. Over time this will probably be solved.

One of the up sides is that hydrogen is a renewabl resource that is fairly easy to make. Hydrogen can be made from methane that is released from cows in mass amounts into the atmosphere. Using the methane for fuel will reduce methane from the atmosphere and it will reduce carbon emissions from vehicles.
