vehicles abstract
As the world population increases, so does the demand for transportation. Automobiles, being the most common means of transportation are one of the main sources of pollution. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of society and to protect the environment, scientists began looking for a new solution to this problem. Before they suggested any answers, the scientists first looked at all as pects surrounding the issue.
Fuel cell can promote energy diversity and a transition to renewable energy sources. Hydrogen-the most abundant element on Earth can be used directly. Fuel cells can also utilize fuel containing hydrogen, including methanol, ethanol, natural gas, and even gasoline or diesel fuel. Fuels containing hydrogen generally require a “fuel reformer” that extracts the hydrogen fuel cells today are running on many different fuels, even gas from landfills and waste water treatment plants.
This paper presents a new friendly environmental vehicle. The fuel of this vehicle is a renewable sources, solar radiation, PV arrays, electrolyzer, hydrogen and fuel cell.
All the results show the capability of vehicle’s design with all the details of each main component for several variaities of vehicles for transportation.
This solar/hydrogen vehicle is environmentally sound as it does not do any harm to the environment. The sunlight is free, i.e it does not cost the consumer any thing at the same time, the energy supply is locally produced and the solar power is generated during peak demand for energy.
Finally, this design of vehicle realizes a clean and healthy vehicles.
