“DESIGNING AND ANALYSIS OF HYDROGEN POWER VEHICLE”
Department of Mechanical Engineering-Gujarat Technological University, India
ABSTRACT
The hydrogen powered vehicle works on the Spark Ignition Engine so the vehicle can run with the hydrogen gas along with petrol. A system for generation of hydrogen gas by electrolysis of water for the fueling of an engine is disclosed.The system comprises a power regulator to regulate the flow of an electric current from a battery source to hydrogen generation cell provided in communication with the vehicle engine. The hydrogen generation cell has a positive side and a negative side defined by a partition, each of the positive side and the negative side includes a polarity of electricity conductors. The electricity conductors on the positive side receive the electric current in the hydrogen generation cell, on passing the electric current the water in the water tank undergoes electrolysis to generate oxygen gas at the positive side and hydrogen gas at the negative side, the hydrogen gas is then supplied to the engine via the hydrogen flow path.
