Hybrid Vehicle
Current engine designs have low energy efficiency. Small piston engines (in the range of about 40 kW or 54 horsepower) have not been optimized specifically for hydrogen fuel. The unique combustion properties of hydrogen allow engines to run leaner and at a higher compression ratio than they do with hydrocarbon fuels. Energy efficiency is a serious problem if consumers want a driving range comparable to that of today's gasoline-powered vehicles. Thus, what we need are high-efficiency drive trains if we are to consider hydrogen seriously as an alternative fuel. Researchers at LLNL are showing that such drive trains are feasible and that hydrogen has a genuine opportunity to compete for the first time in the transportation sector. ... [Read More]
