I am looking for reactions that can power a small car. I'm currently working on a college project where we have to make a car powered by a chemical reaction. Could anyone guide me in the right direction?

Whelp, there are all the current ways of doing it, right? And all the other ways of making battery reactions with lemons or whatever. What reading have you been doing so far? What are your thoughts?

Oh, and since this is for schoolwork, please re-post in the Homework Help, Chemistry forum, and fill out the Template you are provided there. That includes showing the work you have done on this so far. This thread is locked.
