Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Features hydrogen vehicles other than cars such as forklifts, motorcycles, bikes, buses and submarines.
The U. S. Navy has teamed up with Versa Power Systems to develop a solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) for use in one of its new unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV). Typically, SOFCs are used in stationary devices and run at very high temperatures (up to 1,800 F). Because of these high temperatures, there is no need […]
Continue ReadingIn a time when people are looking for a way to increase gas mileage and reduce emissions, two men from the Check Engine Service Center in Tampa, Florida have invented a hydrogen boosting system for internal combustion engines (ICE) to do just that. According to John Swangler and William Wylie, their Hydrorunner G3 hydrogen on […]
Continue ReadingSeaWorld in Orlando, Florida will be showing off two new Ford F-450 hydrogen shuttle buses starting today. The shuttle buses will tote tourists between the three properties of Aquatica, Discovery Cove and SeaWorld. According to BizJournals, “SeaWorld will use the vehicles for the first time Feb. 20, when a team of employees will travel to […]
Continue ReadingThanks over to our friends at Inhabitat for alerting me of this story. The Interstate Traveler Company is developing a solar-hydrogen powered MagLev (magnetic levitation) rail system that will mean zero emissions for public transportation. The idea is to built this MagLev railway system “along the right of way of the US Interstate Highway Systems” […]
Continue ReadingLarge aircraft manufacturer EADS Airbus has decided to research and develop two methods of using hydrogen aboard an airplane. The first method would be to use hydrogen as an additive to kerosene. The hydrogen would be injected into the engine to help it burn more cleanly and enhance performance. The second method would be to […]
Continue ReadingIceland’s first hydrogen fuel cell ship, Elding (means Lightning) will set sail soon as part of the country’s SMART H2 Project. Elding will fuel up using the world’s first commercial hydrogen fueling station, which opened in Reykjavik in 2003. At that time, there were only a few vehicles for the hydrogen station to refuel. Within […]
Continue ReadingIn the past, I’ve talked about hydrogen airplanes starting to take flight. In November, I had talked about the Horizon Fuel Cell Pterosoar unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) setting a record for flying 78 miles in around 3 hours. Now, another hydrogen fuel cell UAV has set a record and this is the AeroVironment Puma. This […]
Continue ReadingZemships (zero emission ships) will be cruising Alster Lake near Hamburg, Germany this summer. Almost a year ago, I had talked about the $6.7 million Zemships project, which is a hydrogen fuel cell ferryboat that will carry 100-passengers across the lake. The Zemship is a hybrid vehicle using both fuel cell and battery pack for […]
Continue ReadingWhat is happening now? Has the world gone completely mad? Recently, it looks like the Big Oil companies are creating technology to help consumers use less oil. What up with this? Shell Oil has announced that they will be using Hawaiian algae to create biodiesel fuel. And, Exxon has announced two different technologies that will […]
Continue ReadingA Welsh fuel cell minibus known as the Hydrogen Bus, has been unveiled for the first time in the United States in Anaheim, California. This same Hydrogen Bus was unveiled for the first time ever in October in the United Kingdom. The Hydrogen Bus is capable of carrying 16-passengers and has a top speed of […]
