Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
On these pages, I’ve put photos and information about some pretty way out hydrogen fuel cell car design concepts. And, this is another one of those. This gives us a glimpse into what the future may look like in 2025 in regard to personal travel. According to designer Rizki Tarisa, “ELPH is a concept vehicle […]
Continue ReadingIn the past I’ve talked about MOF structures (Metal Organic Frameworks) being developed to store hydrogen fuel. These structures discovered by scientists at Northwestern University use a framework of nickel, zinc, copper or cobalt plus sugar and salt to bind hydrogen inside its porous structure. Now, researchers at Rice University have a different take on […]
Continue ReadingI always like reading about self-interested companies using other technology saying that hydrogen fuel cell technology is years away and that some form of battery is what businesses should buy for at least the next 10 years. This is exactly what is being said in this article. The main (erroneous) points the article makes are […]
Continue ReadingMany people are afraid of hydrogen. When you ask random people what they know about hydrogen they will inevitably mention the hydrogen bomb and the Hindenburg accident. So, in order to counter this fear it is important to get the news out that yes, hydrogen is flammable and combustible like most fuels, but it can […]
Continue ReadingI’ve talked before about the GM Opel HydroGen4 minivan rolling out in Germany. I’ve also talked about the GM HydroGen4 being shown in the U. S. and being a part of Germany’s Project Driveway testing program. Now, GM’s subsidiary Opel has received a prestigious bronze FCell award in Germany for a new method of testing […]
Continue ReadingThere have many potty jokes over the years about powering a car or home’s fuel cells with poop or urine. In fact in June 2009 I wrote this blog post about a car potentially powered by urine. Now, instead of number one, researchers in Michigan want to go number 2 when it comes to hydrogen […]
Continue ReadingPedego Electric Bikes and SiGNa Chemistry have developed a hydrogen fuel cell range extender for their line of electric bicycles. According to the Pedego press release, “The announced battery-fuel cell hybrid system is compatible with all existing Pedego bicycles and batteries. For every 1.5 lbs. of weight a rider carries, an additional 700 watt-hours of […]
Continue ReadingI’ve just read a press release about how SFC Energy AG and Sortimo International GmbH are teaming up to create a mobile power device that contains both fuel cell and lithium batteries. From my read of this press release (and I may be wrong) it sounds like this device will be using hydrogen inside the […]
Continue ReadingLast week I talked about ITM Power’s new HFuel portable hydrogen refueling station as potentially being a game changer in regard to quickly and easily rolling out hydrogen infrastructure as needed and where needed. This week, specialty gas manufacturer Air Products has also announced their spin on a new kind of hydrogen fueling station that […]
Continue ReadingI’ve talked several times in the past about using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as clean, zero emissions fuel for all kinds of vehicles including cars, jetpacks, planes, trains and even spacecraft. A little earlier this year another vehicle came onto the scene which is a hydrogen peroxide powered personal helicopter. The Avimech Dragonfly DF1 weighs just […]
