Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Features hydrogen vehicles other than cars such as forklifts, motorcycles, bikes, buses and submarines.
In past posts, I’ve already talked about the German hydrogen submarine and the Greek hydrogen submarine being developed. Now, another European nation is diving into the hydrogen submarine pool, so to speak, Spain. The German fuel cell submarine has already proved itself in April 2006 by diving and staying underwater for 2 weeks. In July […]
Continue ReadingThe Valeswood Pearl hydrogen bike is hitting the streets of the United Kingdom as a commercial alternative fueled vehicle. Back in May 2007, I had talked about how Valeswood was showing off their H-bike at the NEMEX alternative energy show in the UK. Now, Valeswood has combined its own bicycle with one of two different […]
Continue ReadingLast April 2007, Horizon amazed viewers with their Hyfish UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that looks like a jet and is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. Now, Horizon has opened up new vistas once again as their Pterosoar has set a new record for distance for micro UAV’s. In Lancaster, California the Pterosoar flew a […]
Continue ReadingThere are two recent happenings concerning hydrogen planes, both of which are pretty exciting. First, the European Union is studying the development of a hypersonic hydrogen airplane that will be able to fly at speeds between Mach 4 to Mach 8, carry 300-passengers and fly at subsonic speeds when needed. The Configuration A2 (or just […]
Continue ReadingThe Suzuki Crosscage hydrogen fuel cell motorcycle concept is making its debut at this week’s Tokyo Motor Show. The fuel cell for the Suzuki Crosscage was designed by Intelligent Energy and features its patented air-cooled system. The Suzuki Crosscage also uses lithium-ion batteries to provide added oomph and speed. The sporty design of the Suzuki […]
Continue ReadingNREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) has come up with a report outlining the current status of fuel cell buses in the United States. To date, 20 fuel cell buses have been demonstrated and 15 more are planned for operation over the next 4 years. Fuel cell buses make for ideal demonstration vehicles because they are […]
Continue ReadingHydrogen minibuses are busting a move this week as one in the United Kingdom and one in the United States have staked separate claims. In Wales, there is a 16-seat minibus causing a stir that is powered by hydrogen fuel cell. This minibus was created by researchers at the University of Glamorgan and will be […]
Continue ReadingThis week both the Canadians and British have set sail on hydrogen fuel cell boats. In Canada, Jim Harrington, president of AGO Electronics, put a 300-watt Horizon fuel cell system in a 19-foot sloop and sailed it successfully, putting out zero emissions. In the UK, today, the University of Birmingham is unveiling its fully functional […]
Continue ReadingA hydrogen bike, powered by fuel cell, was unveiled in Shanghai, China at the 9th China International Exhibition on Gas Technology, Equipment and Applications trade fair. The hydrogen bike prototype was developed by the Shanghai Pearl Hydrogen Power Source Technology Company. According to the company, their hydrogen bike components are lighter than those used in […]
Continue ReadingThey may not be as sexy as hydrogen cars parading down the road from one green event to the next with photo ops with congressmen and governors, but some less glamorous hydrogen vehicles are also starting to grab the public’s attention. For instance, lawnmower-maker Toro has paraded out its hydrogen-powered Workman utility vehicle at the […]
