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 cannot 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.
The article states that the hydrogen fuel cell engine will replace the internal combustion engine and it provides three reasons to support it. However, the professor refuses the claim and she provides three reasons each refutes the purposed claim by the article.
First, the reading claim that the hydrogen fuel-based engine will not be short out of the fuel as in the internal combustion engine. The professor says that the fuel-based engine indeed have a finite source but, the claim is too optimistic of its use. She states that it will not be easily available as found in water. It requires a certain artificial process to isolate out to pure form for its use. She also emphasizes that the cost of the isolation will be very exorbitant to cover as it has to store in the temperature of - 253-degree celsius.
Second, the article posits that the fuel-based engine is pollution free as compared to the contemporary one. However, the professor refuses this point by saying that for its use, a lot of purification is required which produces pollution gases in the process. According to the professor, very large energy is required to produce usable hydrogen; it requires coal in huge amount which is a chief source of pollution.
At last, the article claims that the fuel-based engine needs less money to run than the internal combustion engine. The professor refuses the claim by saying that it requires expensive materials to manufacture. She also states that the fuel-based engine requires platinum which is very expensive in itself. Without it, hydrogen will no do a chemical reaction in the engine. However, the metal is so rare and expensive, the last use of the engine cost a fortune. On the other hand, the earlier experiments for replacing platinum in the engine were failed several times making the highest cost of the engine inevitable.
