Hydrogen

      Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe! By exploring this element as an energy source, humankind could unlock nearly limitless energy resources. Hydrogen is produce mainly from methane and natural gas. It is highly combustible and when it combusts it burns at a much higher temperature than gasoline. To run a conventional engine on hydrogen, we all need to take into consideration all of the properties of hydrogen and compare them to the properties of gasoline. Below are three tables. Table 1 is standard chemical properties and helps us see how hot the hydrogen will get, among other things, when ignition occurs. In Table 2, the energy for different fuel sources is compared for high heating value (HHV) and low heating value (LHV). The values in Table 3 are the densities of common fuels in different units.
