Men what if your car runs on water and it gives out water vapors instead of smoke? Yes this is right and in near future you are going to drive Eco friendly, zero emission cars. Cars which will use water as fuel and only give out water vapors — no smoke, clean and 100% environment friendly.
These are Hydrogen powered vehicles, an alternative fuel vehicle that uses hydrogen as its onboard fuel for motive power. Such vehicles convert the chemical energy of hydrogen to mechanical energy either by burning hydrogen in an internal combustion engine, or by reacting hydrogen with oxygen in a fuel cell to run electric motors. Such verticals are environmental friendly.
Leading car manufactrures are in manufacturing process of these cars. This post is MensCrunch.com’s take on water powered cars.
cars.
1. Aston Martin DBGT 2025
This car runs on hydrogen that is derived from water after a process of electrolysis, leading to zero emissions. Aston Martin DBGT 2025 is one of the best future car designs that is deeply based in reality when it comes to design and style. This Aston Martin of the future looks as stylish and classy as any in the past and draws inspiration from the long tradition of the car and its previous designs.
2. Honda FC Sport
The company has revealed FC Sport, a three-seat hydrogen fuel cell sports car design exercise, at the L.A. Auto Show. The FC sport is based on the V-Flow stack of the FCX Clarity concept car. The car incorporates a high-power fuel cell stack, located between the rear seats, and a backup battery pack placed in the middle of the car.
3. BMW HR2 Hybrid Car
BMW is also developing fuel cell cars, using the technology of the hybrid cars. BMW promises to launch a dual-mode version of the current 7 Series during the production cycle of the present model, thus introducing the first car of its kind able to run on both hydrogen and gasoline.
4. Jaguar C-XC
Jaguar C-XC comes with a hydrogen fuel cell drive train mounted under the single-piece glass surface, which covers the entire length of the car, adding to its aerodynamic aesthetics. The wheels of the car are also covered to further increase its aerodynamic properties. Apart from being powered by a zero-emission engine, the materials used for constructing the body of the car will have minimal environmental impact. The car is designed to be built from vegetable tan leather and recycled PET bottles.
5. General Motors’ HydroGen4
The HydroGen4 uses 440 single hydrogen cells that combine hydrogen from its carbon fiber storage tanks and oxygen from the atmosphere to produce electricity, which then propels the car to a top speed of 100 mph. The car is able to go from a standstill to 62 mph in just 12 seconds.
6. RT20
RT20 is to be powered by liquid hydrogen. The hydrogen fuels a twin-turbo V6 engine promising a power-driven ride. The car is no less in safety and comfort features. The conventional spring-based suspension is replaced by electromagnets for better response. The response can be adjusted even more by regulating the current passing through the magnets.
7. H2 Racer
Zero-emission car has been designed to bid for the title of world’s fastest hydrogen-powered racer in 2009. Apart from aiming for the record, the car has been designed to demonstrate the power of clean fuels like hydrogen to the world. The car is powered by an internal combustion motorcycle engine that has been modified to run on hydrogen. With an ecofriendly engine in place, the car is expected to reach speeds in excess of 170km/h.
8. Mazda TONBO
Designed by DedekDesign and Mazda of Europe, the car is to be powered by hydrogen fuel cells to ensure that all that comes out of the exhaust is pure water. Just like the Rinspeed Scuba, this car too is designed to drive in water. Another innovative feature to be incorporated in this car is the use of an anti-vandal parking system that takes care of some parking woes.
9. Ronn Motors Scorpion Roadster
Roadster is powered by the hydrogen/gasoline engine that not only ensures low emissions, but also promises the thrill for which supercars are known for. The Scorpion comes with a classy body featuring low-slung front-end, swept-back headlamps, hood vents and bulbous fenders, together with huge air-intakes aft in the front doors.
10. Honda PUYO
Honda PUYO is powered by hydrogen fuel cells, the Honda PUYO is meant to convey an adorable pet-like feeling; warm and friendly, forming an intimating bond between the people and the car. An innovative, out of the box, seamless soft box form gives maximum space and has a silky feel to it. The almost transparent jellybean-like body gives a buggy like appearance.
