Hydrogen-Powered Bicycle for Sustainable Mobility

Abstract

Abstract: In the pursuit of sustainable transportation solutions, the integration of hydrogen fuel cells presents at the bicycles. This paper explores the high-level design considerations for a hydrogen-powered bicycle, focusing on key components such as the fuel cell system, hydrogen storage, powertrain, and overall vehicle architecture. The fuel cell system is a critical component, converting hydrogen gas into electricity to power an electric motor. The hydrogen storage system must be lightweight, compact, and safe, utilizing advanced materials and technologies to store hydrogen at high pressures. The powertrain of the hydrogenpowered bicycle involves the integration of the electric motor with the bicycle's drivetrain, ensuring efficient power delivered to the wheels. The overall vehicle architecture considers the integration of these components into a functional, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing design. Additionally, the paper discusses the environmental impact of hydrogen-powered bicycles, comparing them to traditional bicycles and other forms of transportation. The potential benefits of hydrogen-powered bicycles include zero-emission operation, long-range capabilities, and rapid refuelling times. Overall, the development of hydrogenpowered bicycles has the potential to revolutionize urban mobility, offering a clean, efficient, and sustainable alternative to traditional transportation methods.
