Hydrogen the energy
“Hydrogen” the energy that drives the modern world
“Hydrogen gas” is an essential component of “water” as well as oxygen. Scientists are now able to extract this portion of the hydrogen gas for good use. through a process called “Electrolysis” (Electrolysis)
What makes hydrogen energy stand out?
and is more eye-catching than other types of energy Because it has been discovered that this type of energy is clean energy that will never run out of the world.
Hydrogen can be extracted from the water that is abundantly present on the earth’s surface. And when used, the metabolic process will bring water back to nature again.
which is different from burning by oil or other types of natural gas Whether it is NGV, LPG, etc., when the combustion occurs What is released back is carbon dioxide. which is harmful to the environment and is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect
Today, many car manufacturing companies have turned to develop. “Hydrogen-powered cars,” some are still in the experimental stage. And some of them are even produced for distribution. such as in the United States and Japan, etc.
Dr. Patipat Thuanthong, Lecturer at the Advanced Academic Research Center on Renewable Energy Thai-French Institute of Technology Innovation, King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok Provide interesting information about the use of this type of energy.
Before the hydrogen energy can be used, it goes through a device called “Fuel cell” before the fuel cell, many people may not know this, but if said that its function is similar to “Solar Cells” (Solar Cells) would be enough to make more pictures.
Hydrogen-powered
cars are also classified as hybrid cars. which uses fuel cells and battery to drive When hydrogen gas is added The fuel cell then converts it into electrical energy. Forwarded to the motor in order to turn the shaft and wheels to allow the car to move.
Another advantage of this type of car, in addition to being environmentally friendly. It is able to operate silently as if there is no moving part. and at the same time providing greater efficiency compared to other fuels.
“Cars that use gasoline have a performance of only 13 percent, which means that 100 parts of fuel are refueled, but only 13 parts of energy are actually used,” said Ajarn Patipat, pointing to a table comparing the performance of each type of fuel.
“Safety standards It must be stored in a tank that prevents hydrogen from leaking out. Or if it leaks, the intensity in the air must not exceed 4 percent, but it’s usually not a problem.
because hydrogen is lighter than air When it leaks, it tends to float outside. Except that if it’s in an enclosed area, it’s quite dangerous. But it’s not something to worry about,”
