Hydrogen+Power-+Uses

Uses for HYDROGEN POWER by Amogh Kare Hydrogen has many uses and is a very efficent power supply. This year, 2040, we should start using hydrogen power more and more it could help us greatly!!!

Hydrogen is used in fuel cells, and these are used to power cars, buses and other electronics. A fuel cell is a battery that produces a constant stream of electricity by the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. This battery can store power for long periods of time and is only refilled by the addition of hydrogen. As of now, hydrogen fuel cells can replace the internal combustion engines in the cars driven today. BMW, the luxury car company, is a leader in this technologies, and has multiple prototypes and cars that will are all ready for production and have been since 2015. This technology is already been studied and is ready for production. The only problem is the refueling for these hydrogen fuel cells, and not many places are available where you can fill hydrogen into your car! Hopefully with this knowledge us fellow scientists can spread the word!!!

Hydrogen is also used in Hydrogen Bombs, which are bombs that use specifically nuclear fusion, on oppose to Atomic Bombs which use nuclear fission. Hydrogen Bombs have been around since the 1950's, and is not used much today. This is a very powerful bomb, and is perhaps a thousand times more powerful then a nuclear bomb, which has caused some catastrophic damage. The reason for hydrogen bombs being more powerful, is that it uses nuclear fusion instead of nuclear fission, what the atomic bomb uses. In a nuclear fusion, the two hydrogen atoms unite to become a helium atom. This releases an enormous amount of energy! This bomb could be used in our next war, yetI hope we will not need to. The damage it causes is very bad.

Hydrogen is used in balloons, filling it with air, because it is lighter then oxygen. Hydrogen is very flammable, so if we were to start filling airships with hydrogen, we would have to be very careful. Look to the Hindenburg incident in our history. [| Hindenburg Incident]

This is the a space shuttle. The space shuttles use hydrogen to lift them and power the shuttle. This is because hydrogen is the lightest rocket propellant when in liquid form. In these upcoming years we can use hydrogen to power other means of aerial transportation.
