In a hydrogen combustion engine, hydrogen is used as a fuel that drives the engine running by means of a detonating gas process similar to gasoline-powered engines. Fuel cell vehicles generate electrical energy locally in a fuel cell and use this to move the vehicle or store it temporarily in...
Hydrogen is often seen as the fuel of the future on account of its zero-emission and high gravimetric energy density, meaning it stores more energy per unit of mass compared to gasoline. Its low volumetric density, however, means it takes up a large amount of space, posing challenges for e...
One significant challenge is the lower energy density of hydrogen compared to gasoline or diesel, causing reduced range and performance—as Table 1. shows. This results in larger fuel tanks by volume and increased storage pressure requirements, which negatively influence vehicle design. Table 1. ...
Among conventional fuels, hydrogen has the highest energy content, which is approximately about three times gasoline’s energy content; however, the energy density per volume of hydrogen is quite low at standard conditions. In other words, hydrogen has a high energy content by weight but not by...
However, because of the lower volumetric energy density of a hydrogen–air mixture and the occurrence of abnormal combustion phenomena such as backfire, hydrogen-fueled PFI engines suffer from a power deficit in comparison with gasoline engines. This paper reports measurements on a single-cylinder ...

The hydrogen molecule, consisting of two hydrogen atoms, can be used to produce carbon-free energy. Hydrogen molecules carry a lot of energy; a pound of hydrogen contains almost three times the energy of a pound of gasoline or diesel. ...
UsesHydrogen fluoride is the most important compound of fluorine. Anhydrous hydrogen fluoride is used in the production of most fluorine-containing chemicals. It is used in the production of refrigerants, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, high-octane gasoline, aluminum, plastics, electrical components, and fl...

When comparing HHO gasoline dual fuel to standard gasoline fuel, the maximum improvements in volumetric efficiency, thermal efficiency and air-fuel ratio were determined as 7.5%, 8% and 11%, respectively. In the case of HHO addition, the highest reductions in specific fuel consumption and exhaust...
