Abstract

The literature reveals periodic interest in hydrogen as an engine fuel since it was used in the first self sustaining combustion engine in 1820. Current interest is driven by the need for drastic reduction in the noxious pollutants emitted with fossil fuels, as well as the fact that fossil fuels are non renewable and must, inevitably, become unavailable. There are, of course, severe problems to be overcome prior to general acceptance of hydrogen fueled engines. These include: the economics of large scale production and distribution of hydrogen, the storage of hydrogen onboard the vehicle, and the development of the infrastructure necessary for the services for its vehicular usage. Safety is not the problem it is perceived to be by the public. Hydrogen may well play a highly significant role in surface transportation (including rail), and is destined to play a dominant one in high speed air travel.
