Fuel Cell Generator
would it be possible to make a car that ran off a steam engine with a hydrogen boiler?
ok my image is a high powered engine that runs off steam hooked up to the transmission but also running a high powered generator that created electricity to charge a battery pack that powered the Fuel Cell that converted the water to hydrogen and ignite that to heat the boiler to power the engine (and im thinking up getting the steam from alot of water) plus you could could somehow get the steam back into its liquid form to run back to the boiler to get real high effinency or mileage i mean is it a pluasable idea or not possible yes i know what i said prob wouldnt work but i mean could u use that concept plz no rude answers like ur dumb im just asking what do you think… there would be no pollution at all besides the making of the batterys and the fuel could be reusable and for good measure make the body of the car like out of those real green materials
Every time you convert energy from one form to another you lose because each different engine has an efficiency that is less than 100%.
A steam boiler could be powered by hydrogen. But since you would have to make hydrogen you have lost some efficiency.
heat energy can be converted to mechanical energy in a steam engine. You lose energy. Mechanical energy can be converted to mechanical energy in a transmission but you lose energy.
A condensor, reclaimer or radiator will convert steam to water by cooling it down.
Here is quite a few different engines that won’t work: http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/unwork.htm
