Car manufacturers and governments have been eagerly seeking a replacement for the automobile's main source of power, the internal-combustion engine. By far the most promising alternative source of energy for cars is the hydrogen-based fuel-cell engine, which uses hydrogen to create electricity that, in turn, powers the car. Fuel-cell engines have several advantages over internal-combustion engines and will probably soon replace them.
One of the main problems with the internal-combustion engine is that it relies on petroleum, either in the form of gasoline or diesel fuel Petroleum is a finite resource;. Someday, we will run out of oil The hydrogen needed for fuel-cell. engines can not easily be depleted. Hydrogen can be derived from various plentiful sources, including natural gas and even water. The fact that fuel-cell engines utilize easily available, renewable resources makes them particularly attractive.
Second, hydrogen-based fuel cells are attractive because they will solve many of the world's pollution problems. An unavoidable by-product of burning oil is carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide harms the environment. On the other hand, the only byproduct of fuel- cell engines is water.
Third, fuel-cell engines will soon be economically competitive because people will spend less money to operate a fuel-cell engine than they will to operate an internal-combustion engine This is true for one simple reason:. A fuel-cell automobile is nearly twice as efficient in using its fuel as an automobile powered by an internal-combustion engine is. In other words, the fuel-cell powered car requires only half the fuel energy that the internal-combustion powered car does to go the same distance.
Both, the reading and the lecture, talk about the alternative of using hydrogen as replacement of oil as cars’ main source of power cars. While the reading states that hydrogen is a plausible and promising option, the professor explains that the author’s expectations are too high, and refutes each reason presented, casting doubts in the author’s beliefs.
Firstly, the reading points out that the hydrogen is an almost infinite source of power, which could be found in sources like natural gas or water. Notwithstanding, the lecturer disproves this by stating that hydrogen is not the solution to the problem, owing to that substance cannot be obtained directly from those sources, on the contrary, it is needed a complex process to get it. The elevated difficulty of the process makes it costly.
Secondly, the text argues that the hydrogen solve the uncountable pollution problems related to the use of oil as combustible. Nonetheless, the professor mention that actually it is not correct that argument, because all the industrial activity required to obtain the hydrogen have to be energized using oil or coal, which release high level of pollution when they are burned.
finally, the writer remarks that this solution is economically competitive, due to people save money using it. However, the lecturer remarks the weakness of this point, noting that creating the hydrogen has a high cost of operations, therefore, the final cost is far to be cheap. Furthermore, to obtain an effective chemical reaction inside the hydrogen-based engine, one of the components needed it the platinum, which is rare and costly product and the efforts made to find an alternative to replace it, have not got promising outcomes.
