Conversion of Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle to Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the conversion of internal combustion engine vehicles to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles as part of a broader initiative towards a Hydrogen Economy. The group is actively seeking freelance engineers to assist with design and calculations for both commercial and domestic vehicle conversions. They emphasize the need for immediate assistance and are open to discussing compensation within their research budget. Additionally, they highlight the existence of commercially available fuel cell systems, acknowledging the potential costs involved in such conversions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of hydrogen fuel cell technology
  • Experience with vehicle engineering and design
  • Familiarity with internal combustion engine mechanics
  • Knowledge of commercial fuel cell systems and manufacturers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research hydrogen fuel cell manufacturers listed at http://www.usfcc.com/resources/outreachproducts.html
  • Explore engineering principles for converting internal combustion engines to hydrogen fuel cells
  • Investigate the economic implications of the Hydrogen Economy
  • Learn about existing electric vehicle conversion technologies and their integration with fuel cells
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, automotive designers, researchers in sustainable energy, and anyone interested in the development of hydrogen fuel cell technology for vehicles.

I’m from a group that is current working on the theory of a Hydrogen Economy. Our first area of development is the Hydrogen Highway. We are currently seeking help in the form of freelance / work for hire basically engineer(s) that could aid in design and calculations of internal combustion engine vehicles both commercial and domestic to hydrogen fuel cell conversion vehicles. We can discuss terms and compensation that fits within our research and development budget. Would like someone that could come aboard ASAP. And the position would by telecommute. If you have interest please reply to this posting. Also any ideas and comments about what we are undertaking, feelings about the Hydrogen Economy please feel free to post.

There are many companies offering electric vehicle conversions. Adding a fuel cell will be expensive, but there are commercially available systems.
I found a list of fuel cell manufacturers at http://www.usfcc.com/resources/outreachproducts.html
