A 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.

Future cars

 will help the

 environment


Future cars will help the environment because of very low level of emission. Some future cars, like hybrids and solar powered cars will have no emission level at all. Such low emission levels will help protect our ozone layer. The earth’s ozone layer protects all life forms from the suns harmful radiation. All trees and other plant life are considered to be part of the environment. Trees help purify oxygen. Without oxygen humans can’t survive. So future cars are helping a lot more than the environment.
