Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
A little over a week ago I talked about how the DOE was restoring funding for hydrogen fuel cell research and other hydrogen related funding. Now, according to stargazette.com another important step in Washington D. C. has taken place. According to this online newspaper, “The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Energy and Water […]
Continue ReadingProton Power Systems has developed a hydrogen fuel cell street sweeper that it is now testing in Basle, Switzerland. The municipal street sweeping vehicle was developed in conjunction with the Swiss consortium, hy.muve. The 20kw fuel cell provides the street sweeping vehicle with a top speed of 24 mph. The fuel cell vehicle can hold […]
Continue ReadingIt’s difficult throwing around terms like “world’s first” and “breakthrough” technology and this story probably doesn’t measure up to these standards. Nonetheless, it is important as another corporate entity is ready to put their money where their mouths are in regard to hydrogen technology. Jetstream Wind Incorporated has just broken ground on a hydrogen power […]
Continue ReadingEven though funding from the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) for hydrogen research is like a ping pong ball now days, one thing is for certain: hydrogen and fuel cells are still a growth industry. Whether or not the U. S. government intends to stimulate the hydrogen and fuel cell sectors, this sector will […]
Continue ReadingTaking a page out of the playbook of the hydrogen fueling station cluster model in Los Angeles, Shell Hydrogen has taken it upon themselve to do the same around New York City. Now, I had talked 6 months ago (and before) about the cluster model for grouping hydrogen cars with hydrogen fueling stations in the […]
Continue ReadingThe HHO Games and Exposition, 2009 Summer Edition is coming to St. Petersburg, Florida July 17 – 19 so you still have a few days to make arrangements to “get your road trip on” and get down to the biggest nationwide festival for HHO technology. The HHO fest will take place at the Campus Activities […]
Continue ReadingA month ago it looked like hydrogen cars had their lights punched out by the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the current Obama Administration in the 2010 budget. With some help from the National Hydrogen Association (NHA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and other advocates the zeroing out of the hydrogen budget […]
Continue ReadingThe world’s first hydrogen-powered (and obviously wind-powered) yacht, named the Zero CO2 is sailing around the Mediterranean using a fuel cell auxiliary motor. Lots of yachts, I kid you not, use petrol powered motors to maneuver around ports and in times of low wind. The Zero CO2 will be a floating laboratory on a 10-month […]
Continue ReadingIn October 2008, I had talked about the Antares DLR H2 fuel cell airplane being the world’s first manned hydrogen fuel cell aircraft without a hybrid assist to take flight. In April 2008, I had talked about the manned Boeing fuel cell hybrid airplane being the world’s first manned hydrogen hybrid airplane to take flight. […]
Continue ReadingI’ve talked in the past many times about using aluminum hydrides, magnesium hydrides or other hydrogen chemical storage methods such as sodium borohydride. Now, the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) and their Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) have cracked the code on reusable aluminum hydrides, which they refer to as “alane” to store hydrogen […]
