Application of metal hydrides to ground transport
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4330733
Hydrogen, an alternative to gasoline fuel in vehicle applications, can be stored as a metal hydride and released for use by the application of waste heat from the engine. Present investigations include a review of known and possible hydrides with a potential for automotive use. Hydride bed types and their application to vehicles are discussed. FeTiH/sub 2/ and MgH/sub 2/ are considered. Their merits and potential for use in meeting various transportation needs are discussed. Implementation through fleet vehicle systems is proposed as a means of gaining practical experience with reasonable control during the introduction of the advanced technology. (auth)
