A community portal about Hydrogen vehicles with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: A hydrogen vehicle is a vehicle, such as an automobile or aircraft, which uses hydrogen as its primary source of power for locomotion. Prototypes of these vehicles generally use the hydrogen in one of two methods: combustion or fuel-cell conversion. In combustion, the hydrogen is "burned" in engines in fundamentally the same method as traditional gasoline cars. In fuel-cell conversion, the hydrogen is turned into electricity through fuel cells which then power electric motors.
HHO generators can help you get your best gas mileage. HHO generators can be made in the shop when you have the right plans. Almost all the parts required for HHO generators can be found around the home, garage, shop or around local stores. If you are replicating the system then you may want to buy in bulk and further reduce costs. Installing HHO generators on a car or truck you will have a water hybrid car or vehicle that should help increase gas mileage.
HHO gas kits produce hydroxy gas... Read Full Story
At the heart of the FCX Clarity is a fuel cell stack – a device that uses an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) to convert chemical energy into electrical energy to power a motor that drives the car’s wheels. Honda’s FC stack simultaneously generates electricity and water, emitting no CO2 or other harmful emissions.
A new dedicated fuel cell vehicle assembly line has been established for the production of FCX Clarity, which includes processes unique... Read Full Story

The message has been hinted at before , but the federal government is now serious about shifting the focus away from hydrogen and onto plug-in vehicles. In an important statement yesterday, Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu said that hydrogen vehicles are still 10 to 20 years away from practicality and that millions in federal government funding for hydrogen...

Honda’s FCX has been around for quite a while, being tested, refined, and re-tested on the streets of California and Japan. The car was first introduced in 1999 as a concept based on the Honda Accord platform. Soon, it evolved as the concept was engineered and tested, being released as the Clarity in 2002.
Since then, the FCX is more efficient than ever, with the latest 2008-09 model appearing first at the LA Auto Show in 2007 and released for lease in 2008 to Southern Californians... Read Full Story
The much-touted “green” President, Obama, has OK’d a slash in the Department of Energy’s research funding budget for 2010. In the typical short-sightedness of government types, DoE Secretary Chu said that because “these vehicles are 10 to 20 years away,” they aren’t as imperative as battery electric technology.
This despite evidence to the contrary such as Mazda ’s recent deployment of three hydrogen-fueled models, Honda ’s successful field testing of the FCX Clarity , and Toyota ’s... Read Full Story
wo things most people don’t know: 1) internal combustion engines are only 20 to 30 percent efficient at burning their fuel. 2) vehicles normally burn two gallons of water (found in the atmosphere) per one gallon of gas. That water is in vapor form and is pulled into you engine with the air and is also used in the combustion process. The carburetors or fuel injectors (whichever you have) force the fuel also into vapor form, and all this is burned together in the cylinder chambers. The... Read Full Story
Are you tired of high gas prices? Looking to increase fuel economy? Concerned about the environment? There has been a lot of media attention lately surrounding HHO (Hydrogen energy), converting your car to run on water (as a supplement to gasoline). The technology to run cars on HHO (which is derived from water) is proven , but the information to do so is usually expensive and hard to find. On our website – we review the "top HHO conversion kits" that provide the most value for your money... Read Full Story
Not only does this car have zero emissions, the only thing it does emit is clean water vapor.
Honda is poised to unveil a car in Southern California this Summer powered with an electric motor that gets its energy from a highly efficient, yet surprisingly powerful Hydrogen-powered fuel cell. This high-output, compact electric motor enables the FCX Clarity to be incredibly responsive, yet stunningly quiet for a smooth and efficient driving experience.
What makes the technology especially... Read Full Story
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has announced that they will be issuing a grant for $1.7 million each to four organizations to build hydrogen refueling stations. Those four organizations are: The San Francisco Airport, Shell Hydrogen, Mebtahi Station Services, and UCLA.
These hydrogen refueling stations will be used for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles like the Honda FCX Clarity and will be open to the public and operate much like normal gasoline stations. This will effectively double... Read Full Story

Although hydrogen just took a hit — Energy Secretary Steven Chu cut 0 million in transportation-related fuel-cell funding from the 2010 budget — that hasn’t meant flat tires for the Hydrogen Road Rally, which kicked off yesterday in Chula Vista, California, on its way to Vancouver, British Columbia. The rally lasts until June 3, and you can follow its progress here .
I was at the kickoff of last... Read Full Story
