Fuel-Cell
A
fuel-cell produces electricity immediately from the reaction of hydrogen and
oxygen. The only spin-off is water. A fuel-cell vehicle uses electricity
produced by the fuel-cell to power motors at the vehicles wheels. Fuel-cell
vehicles are very similar to battery/electric vehicles because they are both
powered by electricity, but very different because they do not need to be
recharged like battery vehicles. Fuel-cell vehicles will carry onboard storage
tanks that could be filled at hydrogen filling stations, like modern day gas
stations.
The costs of future
cars
Most
of today’s fuel-cell vehicles are produced in small quantities. Since mass
production correlates to cost competitiveness, current prices are very high. The
interest of automakers throughout the world for developing these vehicles shows
that fuel-cells will be competitive with conventional-technology vehicles.
Increasing experience with advanced hybrid technology and production will
probably help lower the costs of future fuel-cell vehicles.
Changes
of future
Cars
First
off steering wheels, accelerators and brake pedals will be things of the past as
driving will become more like flying a fighter jet. Fuel gauges and speedometers
will be displayed on “head up” systems planted into the side of the
windscreen. Children will occupied as ever since they will be able to play the
latest video games, e-mail their friends, and surf the web. These cars will even
be able to adapt to the radio stations you like the most.
Future Cars will
fly
A
flying car is in the near future, 2006. The M400 Skycar will be the first legal
flying car. A modern day civilian, Jack
Allison, is working it on. His
inspiration came to him when he was stuck at a traffic light and thought how
much nicer it would be to fly over every one else. It will sell for around
$500,000. Allison had already been working with a company who had literally made
a flying saucer about 10 years ago called the
M200x.
