• Add water to the water tanks located in the back of the car
• Uses the water (H₂0) to produce and store oxygen (0₂) and hydrogen (H₂)
• The car can turn around obstacles by itself, and is powered by clean hydrogen fuel

What is a fuel cell?

A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device. It produces electricity from external supplies of fuel (on the anode side) and oxidant (on the cathode side). These react in the presence of an electrolyte. Generally, the reactants flow in and reaction products flow out while the electrolyte remains in the cell. Fuel cells can operate virtually continuously as long as the necessary flows are maintained.

Fuel cells differ from batteries in that they consume reactants, which must be replenished, while batteries store electrical energy chemically in a closed system. Additionally, while the electrodes within a battery react and change as a battery is charged or discharged, a fuel cell’s electrodes are catalytic and relatively stable.

Fuel cells since long have been suggested as alternative energy source of energy but have had design problems and were not cost efficient so far. Things are changing now.

The BMW 750hL, a production ready car  is the culmination of three decades of research on hydrogen powered vehicles. The 750hL is a car powered by sunlight and water.

 I wish this environment friendly technology the very best of luck and hope it solves the energy and pollution crisis for good!
