Hydrogen amafutha iimoto eziqhelekileyo

Noko ke, iinjini hydrogen kwizithuthi zikarhulumente hayi uphephile ukusebenza, ingakumbi ugcino hydrogen kunye nonikezelo yayo kwigumbi yokutsha. Emva zonke iiklasi eyaziwa chemistry yokuqala bafunda ngokuhlanganisa hydrogen neefom ioksijini ezifana ezimbaxa njenge gas oxyhydrogen leyo Uyadubula. Ukuba oku akuthethi ukwenza iimoto hydrogen yinxalenye. Nangona izazinzulu British musa ukucinga njalo.

Basebenzisa lwesayensi liphuhlise indlela entsha neteknoloji. Phezu kwayo, hydrogen uqulathwe kwisingxobo ekhethekileyo (itanki) ogama ubukhulu azikho ngaphezulu kwe 3-4 microns, kodwa le amafutha data iiseli kuba nesakhiwo amazwe. A hydrogen kondliwa kubo kwifomu olunyulu ngohlobo hydrides. Kwaye zokufudumeza kancinane iiseli amafutha (njengezingxobo) iqala ukugqama hydrogen micropore. Ngenxa yoko, izazinzulu ziye zaphumelela ekuphuhliseni umfuziselo ngokwenene ngakumbi injini hydrogen, ngelo kulungelelana esifanelekileyo kakhulu ikwazi ukuvelisa mass kwaye ezinokwenzeka kukhuphiswano kunye kwinjini yokuvutha kwangaphakathi. Kodwa kukho iqela iingxaki ezinxulumene kwicala yobugcisa. Okokuqala kufuneka imfuneko zokufudumeza ngokukhawuleza esiseleni zamafutha (njengezingxobo) kunye namandla efanayo ukudlulisela hydrogen ukusuka philisi ngamnye umbane inkqubo motor.

Noko ke, inyathelo lokuqala, izazinzulu uceba ukusebenzisa le iteknoloji iimoto eqhelekileyo kunye injini yokuvutha kwangaphakathi. Ukuze wenze oku ku iimoto ziya kufakwa itanki elingakumbi nayo hydrogen enjalo njengezingxobo. Igesi hydrogen lulodwa amafutha ezingundoqo abangabancedani. Ezi ndlela sele kusetyenziswa ngokuphathelele bioethanol eziliqela amazwe. Ngokufanayo, inxalenye yalo hydrogen umxube amafutha uya ngokuthe kwandiswa kude zamafutha indawo ngokupheleleyo. Oku kukuvumela kokuphuculwa encinane ukusebenzisa izithuthi mihla ngaphandle kwemiqathango, yaye ngokuthe ngcembe ngokwandisa inani lezithuthi hydrogen ukuze aququzelele yokwakha uphuhliso lweendlela nezakhiwo ezinxulumene nazo. Iimvavanyo zokuqala imoto ucwangciselwe sele kwisiqingatha sokuqala sika-2012.
