Hydrogen fuel cell Vehicles for the 3rd millennium
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 aspects surrounding the issue. Fuel cell can promote energy diversity and a transition to renewable energy sources. . This paper presents a new friendly environmental vehicles. 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 varieties of vehicles for transportation. The moto-cycle is the most economic cheapest system while the heavy trucker and Buses are the most expensive system During day time, the vehicle needs around 70% of battery during charging period. This study realizes the strong relation between the main renewable sources of vehicle, solar radiation, fuel cell, hydrogen and electrolyzer. 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 new design of vehicle realizes a clean and healthy vehicles for the new 3rd millennium.
