As gasoline and diesel prices at the pump continue to soar, automobile manufacturers are working tirelessly to produce vehicles that are capable of utilizing alternative fuel sources for power. One such alternative is hydrogen powered vehicles.
Although very few hydrogen powered vehicles are currently available, many car companies have plans to release them in the very near future. With the prospect of creating higher fuel efficiency and thus realizing consumer savings, it is interesting to understand how hydrogen cars operate and will be a viable option in the future.
Hydrogen engines depend upon a chemical reaction to create power to operate a vehicle. It’s actually a very simple process – what happens when two particles of hydrogen combine with one particle of oxygen? H20 equals water! In fact, in a hydrogen engine, hydrogen and air are continuously fed through, combining to produce both the electricity necessary to propel a vehicle as well as the water that will be the vehicle’s emission.
So in addition to hydrogen becoming an alternative fuel source, it also helps avoid dependence on fossil fuels, it is also a clean fuel source, where the emission is simply water instead of the far more harmful carbon dioxide produced by gasoline or diesel engines. Hydrogen technology so far is advancing at a much slower rate than ethanol, electric and natural gas engines but still has a very good outlook as a viable power source for the future.

Help answer the question about hydrogen engine
Would it be possible to install a Hydrogen engine into for example a 1968 Pontiac Firebird?I know it's an out of the ordinary idea but would it be possible?

Oh, not to mention it takes FAR more electricity to refine oil than it does produce hydrogen.
2n2222 misunderstands lubrication. Yes, crankcase lubrication is important. But fuel system lubrication is also important, or your injection pump will wear out. Biodiesel and veggie oil have excellent lubricity and will extend the life of your fuel system. Fossil diesel does not – it used to contain sulfur to lubricate fuel system parts, but it no longer does. Thus you should always run a percentage of biodiesel.
