Boats Than Run On Hydrogen From Seawater Made Possible With Aluminum and Liquid Alloy
It's known from high school that aluminum can split water in hydrogen and oxygen, with aluminum hydroxide as byproduct. A team of Purdue University researchers has developed a mechanism that uses this reaction between aluminum, water and a liquid alloy to extract hydrogen directly from seawater and use it in boats and ships.
SiGNa Claims to Have Developed New Electric Bike That Uses Water to Run
A new and impressive technology for electric bicycles has been developed by SiGNa. The innovative product runs on water for a distance of about 100 kilometers on a single charge.
Photocatalyst Used For Hydrogen Generation Awarded by University of Queensland
This year's UQ Foundation Research Excellence Award, consisting in $85,000 UQ, was won by Dr Yong Wang, from UQ's School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering. Dr Wang will dedicate his research to develop powerful photocatalysts that increase the efficiency of hydrogen production.
Huge “Bloom Box” Hydrogen Fuel Cells Provide Clean Electricity To Adobe Systems
Adobe Systems is launching a new emission-free fuel cell technology for cars, under the name of "Bloom Box" fuel cells, in San Jose, California....
Hawaii's Amazing Hydrogen Fuel Project Implemented by 2015
The Hawaiian island of Oahu is about to make a huge progress in the alternative energy field compared to the rest of the country, regarding the creation of a new era for energy infrastructure and environmentally-friendly transportation.
Purification of Hydrogen Extracted from CNG Made More Efficient With New Dispersed Platinum Catalyst
A consortium involving three universities has devised an atomically dispersed platinum catalyst that could be of use in future hydrogen production systems. Maria Flytzani-Stephanopoulos from Tufts University and Manos Mavrikakis from the University of Wisconsin-Madison published their research in today's Science journal.
Catalothermionic Generator: A New Blend of Solar and Fuel Cell Nanotechnology Produces Electricity
...it's like hydrogen and the Sun are related in a way... the star's energy comes from burnt hydrogen, on one hand, and on the other, here on Earth, solar cells are the best means of generating hydrogen out of water and have it used as an energy source. There's an interesting symmetry between the two.
Market Analysis Company Predicts Cheaper Fuel Cells Within Few Years
RNCOS, a market analysis company, has evaluated the development of the fuel cell industry and recently published a research report called "Fuel Cell Industry Analysis." The report says that the global fuel cell industry will sustain its development trend in the near future.
Edible Hydrogen Storage Made From Sugar, Alcohol, Salt and Water Discovered
Hydrogen fuel cells are thought to be the best possible solution for our cars to run as clean as they can. Hydrogen, though, can only be stored in pressurized tanks, for the moment, and the mileage you get from a single fill is far from decent, or at least far from what we've been used to.
EZlab Fuel Cell Test Station Launched by NuVant Systems
According to the company, the station aims to make it easier for scientists to compare the performance of electrode components in fuel cells, which produce energy from fuels like alcohols, hydrogen and hydrocarbons.
