New Fuelcell Car in Thailand

Saving energy at homeBy a research team of local producers electriccar Clean Fuel Energy Enterprise, a new Thai-fuel cell car developed fuel cell generates electric powered cutting edge of technology - a new kind of energy, hydrogen and oxygen used.

The Office of the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT) has a prototype fuel-cell cars will be called on the government called their products for commercial use in life support.

"Starting with 960 watt fuel cells, we have succeeded in improving the cell capacity to 10 kilowatts, which is potent enough to power a car," AM Morrakot said.

Car is free of electricity produced in the proton exchange membrane fuel cells convert chemical energy powered during the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy.

Car is about ten years. Car 's top speed is 93 miles per hour, and doesn' t make smoke or sound, it can help reduce pollution.

AM Morakot said fuel cell car is manufactured in other countries, will cost about 32 million baht, but his prototype is only two million baht.

Using hydrogen in the production of electricity to drive a car came from the factories in the eastern province of Rayong. He said that about eight million liters of hydrogen per year are wasted in these factories.

The company's fuel-cell technology is based on proton exchange membrane fuel cells based. Since it can operate at low temperatures and pressure, offers longer service life 10,000 hours, ie about 13.7 years.

NRCT Executive added that if the government to produce fuel for cars and hydrogen filling stations can be supported, the amount of hydrogen is about 126,000 cars. He added that hydrogen produced by solar cells.
