Viewing from the shortly coming fossil-fuel shortage and the ecological standpoints against the air pollution and the violence of the nature-cycle, it is stressed that liquid hydrogen (
LH
2) is very important as the secondary energy, especially as the fuel and propellant of Vehicles.
The physical and chemical properties of the
LH
2 provide the excellent propellant, especially, for the jet turbine and rocket engine. Some models of
LH
2-propellant engine hitherto developed in U.S.A are outlined.
It must be an urgent necessary to promote the so called “hydrogen economy plan” of
LH
2 usage as the secondary energy, considering the powerful way of producing D which supports the nuclear fusion, too.
