Motors on the HY-WIRE

by · November 2, 2021

The Hy-wire(Hydrogen drive-by-wire) is a concept car from General Motors originally introduced in January 2002.
Pioneered and developed by Adrian Chernoff.
In HY-WIRE , HY stands for hydrogen.
The autonomy is a car which combines a hydrogen fuel cell with drive by wire technology.
The car runs on hydrogen fuel and uses a drive-by-wire system, meaning that the car is controlled electronically.
A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device that converts hydrogen and oxygen into water, producing electricity and heat in the process.
It provides a DC (direct current) voltage.
Instead of engine, it has a fuel cell stack, which powers an electric motor connected to the wheels.

A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device.
The hydrogen fuel is stored in three cylindrical tanks. The tanks are made of a special carbon composite material.
The type of fuel cell that is used in the Hy-wire car is the Proton exchange membrane fuel cell.
The four basic elements of a PEM fuel cell are:- The anode, the negative post of the fuel cell, The cathode, the positive post of the fuel cell
It Converts Hydrogen and Oxygen into the water, producing electricity and heat.
The industry feels that the fuel cell is inevitable.
