Question:

Hydrogen Consumption in Fuel Cell? Free 10 points!?

How much hydrogen fuel would a fuel cell car use per mile?

Answer:

i could argue with some people all day, but ive been doing my own work on my interests in this. ok, my batter hasnt gone dead, i use less batttery power than my wipers do. i dont sale anything, havent bought any plans or any of that. my info came from youtube videos. then play with different materials and ideas.
without exact parameters, like weight of car, drag, HP of driver, we can not answer. But fixing parameters it goes like this; A fuel cell is about 75% efficient. An internal combustion engine today is 30%. so a car on a fuel cell will get 2.0 to 3.0 times the mileage. BUT now for the bad news to get the hydrogen used to run a fuel cell, you lose 50%. The net is the fuel cell is equal to to or 20% better than a regular engine. NOW, H2 sells for for 100% more than gasoline, so at best, you get no better cost per dollar to losing 25%.
