Hyundai points on hydrogen

The manufacturer Hyundai has announced the beginning of a collaboration with the governments of Denmark, Norway and Sweden and Iceland to spread gradually prototypes of hydrogen cars. It will be the South Korean manufacturer to bear the costs for projects and for the entry road, which could begin to circulate - in the experimental stage - before 2015, when the various houses believed we could start selling these vehicles.

The supply of hydrogen, however, is not so simple to implement and designers are working to avoid problems related: liquid hydrogen must be kept at very low temperatures while the gaseous state requires the huge tank. The danger, then, is the fact that if hydrogen is exposed to air, it ignites immediately with consequences far imaginable.

In other cases, however, could no longer operate as a fuel. However, we are experimenting with substances able to work around this. And the road traveled by Hyundai is therefore interesting and more easily applicable in the countries of northern Europe.
