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 halfthe fuel energy that the internal-combustion powered car does to go the same distance
The reading excerpt states that fuel-cell engines have several advantages over internal combustion engines which is the main source of car power and will probably soon replace them, the author provides three reasons for support. However, the lecturer' audio states that there are a lot of problems with the author theories and she refutes each of them by stating the cause of using the fuel-cell engines is not obvious.
To begin with, the article claims that one of the main problems with the internal combustion engine is that it relies on petroleum which is a finite resource, while the fuel-cell utilize easily available, renewable resources. In contrast, the professor contradicts this theory and says that this new source not easily available because it uses the hydrogen which is found in water and could not be used directly. Moreover, it should be obtained as a pure liquid state as an artificial substance. Thus, it requires cooling technology because it must be very very cold to gain this substance that they need to produce energy. Thus, this point of view opposes what the professor explained.
Second, the passage posits that hydrogen-based fuel cells are attractive because they will solve many of the world pollution problems as the by-product is only water unlike the petroleum which it's by-product is the carbon dioxide and it is very harmful. On the other hand, the lecturer argues this outlook and explains that the production of the hydrogen that is needed for these engines will produce a high percentage of pollution because the purification process will require a lot of energy such as coal and oil which is very harmful to the environment. So, this solution is not credited to these new engines.
Third, the excerpt mentions that these new engines will be economically competitive because people will spend less money to operate a fuel-cell engine. This cast doubt, on what the professor explained that he asserts that the manufacturing of the fuel engines needs very expensive metal because without these engines the hydrogen cannot pass through the reaction to produce energy. Consequently, this outlook contradicts what the lecturer discussed.
