Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
The last time I had talked about the Audi A7 H-Tron was back in August 2015 so this is an update as Audi expects to start rolling out the latest iteration of this fuel cell vehicle within the next 2 years or less. Audi is currently working on their 5th generation hydrogen fuel-cell car […]
Continue ReadingPininfarina has decided to make it official and bring their hydrogen fuel cell H2 Speed racecar from concept status to commercial status, rolling it out in limited numbers. I’ve talked about Pininfarina before, first in 2008 when they introduced their Sintesi hydrogen fuel cell vehicle prototype and second in 2016, about two years ago […]
Continue ReadingI’ve talked about the Forze Delft hydrogen racing team many times before starting in 2008. Be that as it may, I think it is time for an update about the Forze VII and what the team is up to. In August 2017, the Forze hydrogen racing team had competed in the GRD SuperCarChallenge on […]
Continue ReadingIn 2009, geologists discovered a new, previously unknown natural phenomenon: some places on the Earth’s crust were seeping hydrogen gas. Hydrogen is odorless, invisible, tasteless, non-toxic, and, the most important, a very diffusive gas. This may explain why hydrogen in such places was not recognized earlier. This gas seeps out over very wide areas, […]
Continue ReadingA couple of months back I wrote two articles titled “1st Interstate H2 Highway in the USA Rolls Out September 2017” and “1st Interstate Hydrogen Highway in USA Inaugurated by Maiden Voyage” which were about a voyage upon an interstate hydrogen highway between southern California and Las Vegas, NV (This was an very […]
Continue ReadingYesterday, I had the pleasure of communicating with Jennifer Gangi (@fuelcellgirl) who is the FCS&EE spokesperson for the upcoming Fuel Cell Seminar & Energy Exposition (November 7-9, 2017 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California). As I will be attending this year, I was curious about several aspects of the upcoming Seminar […]
Continue ReadingMercedes-Benz GLC F-Cell SUV is a plug-in hybrid fuel cell electric vehicle which is in pre-production and will be the first of its kind when it rolls out commercially in the summer of 2018. Here are the top 10 items you may not know about this vehicle: Both the fuel cell and large rechargeable lithium-ion […]
Continue ReadingOctober 8th is National Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Day every year now since the 114th U. S. Congress made a unanimous declaration pushing this day into existence on September 28, 2015. My website went live in late 2005 and I published my first blog post about hydrogen and fuel cells on April 05, 2006. In […]
Continue ReadingWell, slap me silly and call me Sally (and never, ever call me Shirley), the long-shot fuel cell caravan inaugurating the 1st Interstate Hydrogen Highway in the USA came to fruition on Monday, September 11, 2017. With a lot of guts, determination and planning Michael P. Henning, Mike Strizki and Jed Dole (pictured top, left […]
Continue ReadingI floated this story out over Twitter a couple of days ago and there was less than a yawn in response. So, I’m going to try again to convey why this new Cryo-Fluid Capacitor (not flux capacitor) technology could be a very big deal for hydrogen fuel cell car lovers. NASA’s Kennedy Space Center has […]
