Hydrogen car
Hydrogen car during automated refuelling with liquid hydrogen from a tank at Munich airport, Germany. The hydrogen is burnt in a type of conventional vehicle engine. Although nitrogen oxides are formed during the combustion, and carbon monoxide is created from vaporized engine lubricants, the main product is water. To keep the hydrogen as a liquid it is stored at -253 degrees Celsius in a tank with 70 insulating sheets of aluminium and fibreglass. For safety reasons, the hydrogen is pumped into the car by a robotic system. This car is made by BMW

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hydrogen car in action, undergoing automated refuelling with liquid hydrogen at Munich airport in Germany. The innovative technology behind this vehicle allows it to burn hydrogen in a conventional engine, resulting in the main product being water. While nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide are byproducts of combustion, the environmentally friendly nature of this car is evident as it emits significantly less harmful emissions compared to traditional vehicles. To maintain the hydrogen as a liquid, it is stored at an incredibly low temperature of -253 degrees Celsius within a tank equipped with 70 insulating sheets made of aluminium and fibreglass. Safety precautions are paramount during refuelling, which is why a robotic system expertly pumps the hydrogen into the car. Manufactured by BMW, this cutting-edge automobile represents advancements in engineering and transportation technology. It symbolizes progress towards sustainable mobility solutions that prioritize environmental preservation without compromising convenience or performance. The image captures not only the sleek design of the vehicle but also highlights its connection to automation and robotics. This fusion of science and innovation demonstrates how industries are working together to create efficient and eco-friendly modes of transport for our future needs. Overall, this photograph encapsulates both the beauty and functionality of an environmentally conscious motorcar powered by clean-burning hydrogen fuel—a testament to human ingenuity striving for a greener tomorrow.
