The hydrogen gas could power fuel cells in zero emissions vehicles. The battery sends an electric current through two electrodes that split liquid water into hydrogen and oxygen gas.
which powers the car. The only byproduct is water unlike gasoline combustion which emits carbon dioxide a greenhouse gas.
Most of these vehicles will run on fuel manufactured at large industrial plants that produce hydrogen by combining very hot steam and natural gas an energy-intensive process that releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
In 2015 American consumers will finally be able to purchase fuel cell cars from Toyota and other manufacturers.
Although touted as zero emissions vehicles most of the cars will run on hydrogen made from natural gas a fossil fuel that contributes to global warming.

Automakers have started introducing hydrogen fuel cell vehicles which only emit water when driven. But making hydrogen which mostly comes from natural gas requires electricity from conventional carbon dioxide-emitting power plants.
Scaling this research up in the future may mean that you could replace the gas in your cars and generators with hydrogen greener option,
so that they can travel safely through skies without hitting other vehicles. Google s driverless car program is an obvious touchstone for this project but it s a limited one.

"3d printing of metal radically changes that. By looking at 3d printing not for that overall structure
According to Czinger, 3d printing transforms everything by changing the way the structural components of cars are fabricated.
Currently cars are pieced together on long assembly lines inside large factories that use massive amounts of energy.
Even the most fuel efficient car has a large carbon footprint before ever leaving the plant. Czinger and his team's approach was to take the large plant out of the equation.
the entire vehicle only weighs 1400 pounds (635kg), giving it twice the weight to horsepower ratio of a Bugatti Veyron.

#Nanogenerator harvests power from rolling tires A group of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers and a collaborator from China have developed a nanogenerator that harvests energy from a car's rolling tire friction.
the nanogenerator ultimately could provide automobile manufacturers a new way to squeeze greater efficiency out of their vehicles.
The nanogenerator relies on the triboelectric effect to harness energy from the changing electric potential between the pavement and a vehicle's wheels.
"The friction between the tire and the ground consumes about 10 percent of a vehicle's fuel,
During initial trials, Wang and his colleagues used a toy car with LED LIGHTS to demonstrate the concept.
They attached an electrode to the wheels of the car, and as it rolled across the ground,
"The researchers also determined that the amount of energy harnessed is directly related to the weight of a car,
Therefore the amount of energy saved can vary depending on the vehicle -but Wang estimates about a 10-percent increase in the average vehicle's gas mileage given 50-percent friction energy conversion efficiency."
"There's big potential with this type of energy, "Wang says.""I think the impact could be huge."

team used a toy car with LED LIGHTS. Engineers attached an electrode to the tires of the toy car
and watched the LED LIGHTS as the car was rolling forward and they flashed on and off as electrodes came with contact with the surface.
The friction was strong enough for the electrodes to harvest enough energy to power the lights,
Engineers also determined that the amount of energy harnessed is directly related to the weight of a car
It means that different vehicles would waste different amounts of energy and different percentage of it could be saved using this method.
As cars are supposed to be greener and greener, everyone involved will have to look for new innovative ways to improve efficiency.
