Hydrogen cars, or hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (often shortened to FCEV), are vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen is stored in a tank at 700 bar, which generates high-voltage electricity to a small buffer battery which provides transient power for accelerationThe land-speed record for a hydrogen-powered vehicle of 286.476 miles per hour (461.038 km/h) was set by Ohio State University's Buckeye Bullet 2, which achieved a "flying-mile" speed of 280.007 miles per hour (450.628 km/h) at the Bonneville Salt Flats in August 2008.The fact is that the risk of explosion in hydrogen cars and other vehicles is not high. To start, the majority of the belief about the explosiveness of H2 in fuel cell vehicles has to do with a misunderstanding of the gas. H2 requires a spark from a flame or from electricity to ignite and lead to an explosion.It can be readily produced from water using renewable electricity, and it burns without any greenhouse gas emissions. It is colorless, odorless, and does not spill. It's no wonder there is a great interest in hydrogen engines as a part of destination zero!!!!!!!!!!!!
