Now this may sound like something dreamed up in a mad scientist’s laboratory, but a few wacky researchers at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute have come up with an idea of using a giant kite pulling a ship at sea to create hydrogen. How this is proposed to work is that a 6 1/2 million • Read More »

Maetec LLC on behalf of the tiny South Pacific islands of Tonga has created a deep water wind turbine and buoy combination for producing hydrogen through electrolysis of seawater. The hydrogen will then be piped underwater along the seabed to a power generation station where it will replace diesel fuel for producing electricity for the • Read More »

Desalination plants everywhere could be producing hydrogen gas from seawater if the right device were to be installed. This is the word from physicist Roberto De Luca from Italy’s University of Salerno. De Luca has run laboratory tests where he has forced salt water (containing sodium and chlorine ions) through a thin rectangular pipe that • Read More »

As I search across the Internet and especially the blogosphere, I see many critics of the hydrogen economy stating that hydrogen is generally produced by simple electrolysis of water and this method takes too much energy for hydrogen to be competitive in the marketplace. Most of the time, this is taken by others as fact, • Read More »

In order for the hydrogen economy to become a reality, including a hydrogen car for every garage in this country, we will need new and novel approaches for the creation of hydrogen. Creating hydrogen through renewable resources is preferred for minimal environmental impact. Yesterday, I had blogged about a company called Windhunters who will be • Read More »
