Hydrogen Propellant: Can it Power an Engine?

AI Thread Summary
Hydrogen can indeed be burned to drive engines, including reciprocating engines used in cars and buses. Recent developments in the "hydrogen economy" have spurred interest in hydrogen-powered vehicles, leading to increased testing of infrastructure for these technologies. Electric power cells are also utilized, where electricity splits hydrogen and oxygen, allowing the combustion of hydrogen in the engine. This dual approach highlights the versatility of hydrogen as a fuel source in modern transportation.

Can hydrogen be burned and used to drive an engine?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Yes. Reciprocating engines for example, in cars and busses, can be made to run on hydrogen. That's been done quite a lot recently because of the interest in the "hydrogen economy" and the need to test infrastructure using hydrogen powered vehicles.
 
Yep. Hence the electric power cells that use electricity to split hydrogen and oxygen, and combust the hydrogen in the engine.
