In the South Pacific Island of Vaitea Cowan, the company Enapter aims to fight back against the climate change. Their hydrogen technology, an electrolyzer, has recently won awards – the largely influential Earthshot Prize, no less – for its stunning progress in just three years of development. Today, some 30-percent of our energy is created • Read More »

DC, AC, now HC — spacetime energy transmission
November 10, 2020 | By Stan Thompson | Comments Off on DC, AC, now HC — spacetime energy transmission | Filed in: Fuel Cells, Green Hydrogen, Hydrail, Hydrogen Cars, Hydrogen Trucks, Infrastructure, Myths.by guest blogger Stan Thompson updated 12/21/2020 In the late 1800s Nikola Tesla took Thomas Edison’s DC and alternated the polarity back and forth so that its voltage could be stepped up by a transformer and hauled much further by overcoming electrical resistance. Way off in the distance, at the user end, another transformer stepped • Read More »
Bullet Points for Hydrogen’s Synthesis Epoch
September 6, 2020 | By Stan Thompson | Comments Off on Bullet Points for Hydrogen’s Synthesis Epoch | Filed in: Green Hydrogen, History, Hydrogen Economy, Hydrogen Education.by guest blogger Stan Thompson In case you came in late, the synthesis epoch is when we started making stuff like fertilizer from renewable energy which, in the previous extraction epoch, we sourced by digging or pumping matter out of the ground. • Natural gas hydrogen is to electrolyzed H2 as jumper cables are to • Read More »
Hydrogen: lighting the path to liberty
July 26, 2020 | By Stan Thompson | Comments Off on Hydrogen: lighting the path to liberty | Filed in: Advocates, Green Hydrogen, History, Hydrogen Economy, Infrastructure, Political Issues.by guest blogger Stan Thompson Very different processes distribute the earth’s mineral wealth and the political configurations of its surface. Though different, they coincide in ways that profoundly impact our destinies. In the late industrial period, the relative value of energy has been so high, and energy extraction as oil and gas has been so • Read More »
“Why Nations Fail” — A great read with an H2 epilog
July 16, 2020 | By Stan Thompson | Comments Off on “Why Nations Fail” — A great read with an H2 epilog | Filed in: Advocates, Green Hydrogen, History, Hydrogen Economy, Hydrogen Education, Hydrogen Fuel Production, Infrastructure, News, Political Issues.by guest blogger Stan Thompson Davidson College is near our NC home and its proximity offers neighbors access to an astonishing parade of great minds. In 1962 I met cosmologist George Gamow there and got to ask him a few questions. Albert Einstein had died only seven years earlier; some would say Gamow was his • Read More »
Underwater Solar Cells Receive Boost in Making Hydrogen
May 26, 2019 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | Comments Off on Underwater Solar Cells Receive Boost in Making Hydrogen | Filed in: Green Hydrogen, Uncategorized.Underwater solar cells are being used to help create cheap hydrogen fuel directly from water. By using the power of the sun, the plan is simple: make sure that we can create hydrogen from sustainable, repeatable, ethical sources. And for many people, that is going to be this new plan that is being put together • Read More »
Free Solar Energy Benefits Hydrogen & Fuel Cell History, Boosts Future
May 27, 2017 | By George Wand | Comments Off on Free Solar Energy Benefits Hydrogen & Fuel Cell History, Boosts Future | Filed in: Green Hydrogen, History.“The use of solar energy has not been opened up because the oil industry does not own the sun.” Ralph Nader Wikipedia wisdom states, “No single energy storage method boasts the best in specific power, specific energy, and energy density.” As you know, everything in engineering is a compromise. No energy source is perfectly suitable • Read More »
1st Commercial Solar-Hydrogen House Created for Consumer in New Jersey
August 25, 2015 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | Comments Off on 1st Commercial Solar-Hydrogen House Created for Consumer in New Jersey | Filed in: Green Hydrogen, Home Hydrogen Fueling, Hydrogen Economy.The first commercially produced consumer solar-hydrogen house has been created in Pennington, New Jersey by hydrogen pioneer, Mike Strizki. The dedication, which is by invitation only, will occur on Patriot Day, September 11, 2015 (however you can ask for an invitation on his website). In 2006, Mr. Strizki built his first hydrogen house at his • Read More »
HyperSolar Artificial Photosynthesis Breaking Records
July 1, 2014 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | 1 Comment | Filed in: Green Hydrogen, Hydrogen Fuel Production.HyperSolar has set record times in producing hydrogen using a submersible artificial photosynthesis device in water. The device uses sunlight only, without any outside power source, in order to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. According to the Wall Street Journal, “HyperSolar, Inc., the developer of a breakthrough technology to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight • Read More »
HyperSolar Takes Another Step Toward Solar-Hydrogen Production
December 10, 2013 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | 3 Comments | Filed in: Green Hydrogen, Hydrogen Fuel Production.I’ve talked about HyperSolar several times before over the past couple of years. And, now it’s time for another update of their sunlight + water = hydrogen technology. Battery electric vehicle advocates believe that the only use for solar power is to charge a battery directly. But, hydrogen advocates think otherwise. In steps HyperSolar with • Read More »
