Both the reading and the lecture talk about the hydrogen as an alternative for gasoline and its advantages and disadvantages of using that as a practical solution to come over the shortage of oil resources in near futuer. While the article claims that hydrogen could be a wonderful substitute for gasoline becuase of its availabilities and high-efficient energy produciong capacity rather than gasoline, the lecturer casts doubt on this idea and refutes all the author's reasons.
First, the reading materials state that hydrogen as one part of water molecule is much plentiful and we can consider that as an infinite resources. Controversiallly, the professor challenges this theory by explaining that hydrogen is rarely in the pure form in the nature. She mentions that hyrogen in the water molecule bonds to oxygen atom and it sholuld be purified to be usable in the pure form. The lecturer insistes that hydrogen is not available in immediate form to be usable in fuel cell. Then by this explanation this advantage of hydrogen as an endless resources of energy does not hold water.
Second, the article posits that hydrogen can be stored in small cell and transport easily rather than gasoline. On the other hand, the professor rebuts this advantages of hydrogen and clearly explains how it sould be dangerous, since hydrogen is explodable when a car accident happen in the raod. She avers that instead of gasoline that it is flammable, hydrogen is explodable and it means that gasoline is safer rather than hydrogen. When gasoline burns, hydrogen explodes. Therefore, using hydrogen as a energy source for car has more limitation rather than gasoline.
Third, the writer argues that hydrogen is much efficient rather than gasoline in respect of producing of energy. On contrary, the professor counter-argues this idea and points out that this is a superficial explanation. She asserts that to prepare hydrogen as a fuel we should consume a lot of energy to purify hydrogen in a practical form. Taking this amount of enegy into account, it doen not show any benefits rather than gasoline in terms of efficient energy producing. She avers that this is a misleading information that hydrogen can run car for more milage in contrast of gasoline, because it did not consider enegy that used to purify hydrogen.
With the speculation by many leading geologists that petroleum reserves will be exhausted within the next fifty years, a number of alternatives to petroleum have been proposed. One of the most promising alternatives being researched is hydrogen cell technology, which could easily replace traditional gasoline as fuel for automobiles. The adoption of hydrogen as an alternative fuel has many advantages.
First, hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements on the planet. It is a naturally occurring element that can be found around the world. One of the most common sources of hydrogen is H20, or water, which consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Since water makes up over seventy-five percent of the Earth, hydrogen would be an ideal source of energy for nearly all countries on the planet.
Moreover, hydrogen can be concentrated and stored in small containers called "cells." Hydrogen cells are smaller and far easier to transport than gasoline, since they can simply be stacked on a truck for transportation instead of carried in a large tank. Unlike gasoline, which can leak out of the tank and catch fire if there is an accident, hydrogen cells' easily transportable form makes them far safer to move.
Additionally, when placed in cars, hydrogen is much more efficient than gasoline. It takes far more gasoline to move a car across a certain distance than it does for hydrogen. In fact, hydrogen fuel cells can transform twice as much energy into power as gasoline can. Adopting hydrogen cell technology in automobiles would vastly improve the efficiency of our vehicles. As such, countries looking to adopt new sources of energy would be wise to research hydrogen as an alternative fuel source.
