A fuel cell that automatically throttles its power
A fuel cell that efficiently regulates its own power output based on the amount of hydrogen it is fed has been developed by US...
NASA using hydrogen fuel cells
Astronauts have been using them for power aboard spacecraft since the 1960s. Soon, perhaps, they'll be just as common on Earth--powering cars, trucks, laptop...
Boeing to be making a fuel cell airplane
With all the effort we are witnessing in developing environmentally progressive technologies for automotive applications, it's great to see that Boeing researchers and industry...
5 steps to building a backyard fuel cell
Stephen Friend has the first hand-built fuel cell-powered house in the US. No, not another hopeful boil-your-own-yogurt demo for an impractical technology, but a...
The Rotary Air Engine (Di Pietro motor)
The Di Pietro motor concept is based on a rotary piston. Different from existing rotary engines, the Di Pietro motor uses a simple cylindrical...
Global Dimming reducing means a hotter and dryer world?
Despite concerns over global warming, scientists have discovered something that may have actually limited the impact...
Self-powered Electric Vehicle Running without OIL/GAS/HV Battery
