This won’t be the first time I’ve talked turkey about Turkey. In July 2011, I had spoken about how Turkey had built the EkoKaravan that runs off a variety of energy sources including hydrogen. Turkish engineers had also built the SAHIMO hydrogen car and an H2 refueling station as well. Now, with Thanksgiving only a • Read More »

Porous Magnesium Borohydride for Hydrogen Storage
October 7, 2011 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | Comments Off on Porous Magnesium Borohydride for Hydrogen Storage | Filed in: Hydrogen Fuel Storage, Hydrogen Fuel Tanks.Most of the hydrogen fueling stations being built and put into production today dispense compressed H2 gas in the range of 5,000 to 10,000 psi. This has become the standard over the past few years. But, there are some scientists who wish to rewrite this standard by working on hydrogen storage tanks that don’t require • Read More »
ESRF Scientists Use Lithium Borohydride (LiBH4) to Create Hydrogen
December 5, 2007 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | Comments Off on ESRF Scientists Use Lithium Borohydride (LiBH4) to Create Hydrogen | Filed in: Hydrogen Fuel Production.Researchers at European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) have discovered that lithium borohydride (LiBH4) holds promise in creating massive amounts of hydrogen cheaply. Lithium borohydride is a hydrogen rich compound with a high energy density that has been proposed over the years for use as rocket fuel. The ESRF scientists have discovered a new form of • Read More »
Hydrogen Generator Types
August 7, 2015 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | No Comments | Filed in: .Hydrogen Generator Types Hydrogen generator types come in three flavors. A hydrogen generator can be a system that creates hydrogen. Or, a hydrogen generator may be a system that is powered by H2. In a few cases, both are true. Creates H2 A hydrogen generator that creates hydrogen comes in many different varieties. First is • Read More »
Hydrogen On Demand
August 7, 2015 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | 4 Comments | Filed in: .Hydrogen On Demand Hydrogen-on-demand systems within the automotive industry may one day rock the world. If the current hydrogen on demand systems that are being developed pan out or if future hydrogen-on-demand systems take hold, this could mean that building a huge hydrogen gas infrastructure is not necessary. A hydrogen generator may one day start • Read More »
2001
August 7, 2015 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | No Comments | Filed in: .Hydrogen Fuel Cars 2001 The year 2001 was a banner year for hydrogen cars as 22 prototypes were rolled out before the public. Toyota had three FCHV models with Ford, GM, DaimlerChrysler and Honda also putting out multiple vehicles. 2001 The 2001 Mitsubishi Space Liner was a futuristic looking car using 75 kw fuel cell • Read More »

August 7, 2015 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | No Comments | Filed in: .Hydrogen Fuel Cars 2000 The new millennium brought in 13 interesting hydrogen cars, including three models by DaimlerChrysler. Ford and Millennium Fuel Cell also made a good showing in 2000 along with General Motors and Volkswagen who both showed off a couple of innovative hydrogen vehicles. 2000 The 2000 Hypercar Revolution midsize SUV was manufactured • Read More »
28copper15hydride May Solve Hydrogen Storage Issue
August 12, 2014 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | Comments Off on 28copper15hydride May Solve Hydrogen Storage Issue | Filed in: Hydrogen Fuel Storage.Hydrogen storage is one of the biggest issues facing the rollout of fuel cell vehicles. And scientists in Australia and Taiwan may have found the answer in a new molecule named 28copper15hydride. According to Ansto, “Scientists say that the newly-discovered ‘28copper15hydride’ puts us on a path to better understanding hydrogen, and potentially even how to • Read More »
Microfluidic Fuel Cell Alternative to PEM
April 12, 2012 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | 1 Comment | Filed in: Fuel Cells.Researchers at Cornell University have been doing some outside the box thinking in regard to fuel cells. They have basically thrown away the expensive Nafion Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) that defines most of today’s hydrogen fuel cells used in cars. According to RSC.org, “Usually, fuel cells produce electricity from hydrogen or methanol along with oxygen, • Read More »
Turkey Unveils Its First Hydrogen Fuel Cell Boat
January 3, 2012 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | 1 Comment | Filed in: Hydrogen Boats.The last time I talked Turkey was November 9, 2011 to discuss the country’s first fuel cell car which was unveiled. The fuel cell car runs on sodium borohydride (NaBH4) which is created from the main mineral mined in Turkey, boron. Today I would like to talk Turkey again. Besides being a hotbed for development • Read More »
