Frequently Asked Questions
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, making up more that 90% of all matter. It is the third most abundant element on the Earth’s surface, found in water and all organic matter.
In its normal gaseous state, hydrogen is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and nontoxic, which makes it different from every other common fuel we use. No odorant is added to hydrogen fuel. In contrast, all petroleum fuels are asphyxiants and poisonous to humans.
Hydrogen is the simplest known element, but its energy content is the highest per unit of weight of any fuel (52,000 BTUs/pound). Hydrogen is less volatile than gasoline, and, as the lightest element (fifteen times lighter than air), it rises and disperses quickly in the atmosphere. If a leak occurs, the hydrogen gas will depart the scene rather than accumulate into a flammable concentration.
The self-ignition temperature of hydrogen is 550 degrees Celsius. Depending on the grade, gasoline’s self-ignition temperature varies from 228-501 degrees Celsius. Hydrogen burns readily with oxygen, releasing considerable energy and only producing water as exhaust. When hydrogen burns into the air, some nitrous oxides (NOx) can be formed, but the amount is far less than when normal fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel are burned. Because no carbon is involved, using hydrogen fuel eliminates carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and therefore does not contribute to global warming. In fact, when a hydrogen-powered engine operates, it actually cleans the ambient air by combusting the unburned hydrocarbons that surround us.
Quantum’s Type 4 cylinder has been extensively tested for burst strength, fatigue cycling, leak resistance, impact, fire, and even gunshot resistance. Our Type 4 cylinders pass all rigorous industry standards, including our own internal proprietary testing.
Hydrogen fuel cells produce electricity by dissociating hydrogen on the anode side into hydrogen ions (protons) and electrons. The electrons flow through an external circuit to provide the electric power to the fuel cell before recombining with the hydrogen ions and oxygen on the cathode side. The only “exhaust” from a fuel cell is water and small amounts of heat. Hydrogen fuel-cell technology can be utilized to power vehicles.
