Fuel Cell Cars

The depleting petroleum resources have sent the world into a panic. Many science projects involve finding alternatives to vehicles that are powered by petrol or diesel. Of these one of the fields that has received much attention is the development of solar power based fuel cell cars. Unfortunately while progress is being made in this field it is not being made fast enough.

The non renewable resources are being run through at an alarming rate and there does not seem to be any viable alternative visible. Of course the car companies are making valiant effort to find alternative means of fueling cars and Honda has done something quite nice recently.

Honda’s fuel cell electric car, the FCX Clarity, can go about 240 miles on a tank of hydrogen fuel. And the best part is that it’s emission is pure water. You can actually drink the so called waste product of the fuel. So much for pollution from the vehicle. The only trouble is that the car is expensive. Naturally in a few years time as the technology gets better and the car more popular there is a chance that the prices will come down as well.

So as long as you have a hydrogen refueling station somewhere close by you will be actually able to save the planet and get from one place to the other. Of course it will be some time before everyone gets into these cars, but the future of science technology seems bright.
