Can Engine Run On Hydrogen

"On whether an engine can be powered by hydrogen"

People in the world often study the source of mechanical power. Are there any doubts today that an engine can run on hydrogen?

Hydrogen is the most clear gas, its light weight and great energy. However, if you want to make an engine powered by hydrogen, there are many difficulties.

First of all, it is difficult to store hydrogen. The boiling point of hydrogen is extremely low. If you want to store it, you need to be in an extremely cold and high pressure environment. This is convenient for equipment, and it is not easy to use. And the container of hydrogen must be very strong to prevent leakage. Once it leaks, it will not be a big disaster if it encounters open fire or static electricity.

Furthermore, the technology of burning hydrogen in the engine needs to be improved. Hydrogen burns extremely fast, and the ratio of mixing with air is slightly deviated, which will affect the combustion efficiency. And the high temperature generated by the hydrogen burning process requires extremely high material requirements for the engine parts, and it must be able to resist heat and corrosion before it can be used for a long time.

However, the power of hydrogen is also of great benefit. After hydrogen combustion, the product is water, which is free of pollution and is very suitable for environmental protection needs. And the hydrogen reserves are quite abundant, if the technology is advanced, it can be used as a long-term power choice.

Therefore, whether the engine can be powered by hydrogen is related to technological breakthroughs and safety guarantees. With time, the technology matures, or the engine can run freely in hydrogen, providing the driving force for the world and opening up a new situation.
