Horizon's Personal Hydrogen Storage Device to Be Unveiled at CES 2010
The device, called the "Horizon Hydrofill", manages to extract hydrogen from its own water tank and to store it in solid form in small refillable cartridges, by pluging it into the wall socket, connecting a solar panel or a small-sized wind turbine to it.
Yarga YoYo: Concept Fuel Cell Vehicle Inspired by Dean Kamen's Segway
There are some ideas that could evolve no matter what technology is used to apply them. For example, James Yarger, an industrial designer, thought of a concept vehicle made from recyclable materials, inspired by Dean Kamen's Segway.
Mercedes Releasing Fuel Cell Powered B-Klasse, Pessimistic About Diesel Future
Recently, Thomas Weber, Head of R&D at Mercedes, said that the upcoming Euro 6 is expected to skyrocket the prices of diesel cars. This is because the automakers are forced to use expensive technology in making the new fine injectors and filters, and this is going to be felt in the customers' pockets.
French Nickel Catalyst Promises Cheaper Hydrogen Fuel Cells
A group of researchers from France revealed some tests in this week's issue of the journal Science that shows how platinum can be substituted with nickel, by mimicking the process going on in anaerobic-living algae. These have an enzyme, called hydrogenase, and use it to metabolize hydrogen.
Daniel Nocera's Sun Catalytix Receives $7.1 Million for Developing Photosynthesis System
Daniel G. Nocera of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is the inventor of the most important solar energy system of the century. His 2007 designed system is able to create cheap solar energy based on the photosynthesis process.
Tennessee Scientists Generate Hydrogen With Photosynthesis
Prof. Bruce isolated the core of the photosynthetic process from certain algae, and proved that, if coupled with a platinum catalyst, it could produce hydrogen in the presence of light. Photosynthesis is at the base of our fossil fuel energy, because it comes from the plants that lived here millions of years ago - indirectly, from the Sun.
Boosting Power Output of Fuel Cell Systems Using Flowcath Technology
Taking into consideration some field experts, fuel cells seem to be the future in alternative energy. The researchers try to prove with every chance...
Toshiba Releases Dynario DMFC Fuel Cell Charger
The market is in a continuously search for a battery pack that should be able to power portable electronic devices for a longer period of time and with shorter charging times. Toshibas' Dynario Charger is the perfect solution for the moment.
Hydrogen Created by Artificial Photosynthesis Process
A team of scientists from the University of Rochester has a tough mission creating a hydrogen fuel cell that not only burns cleanly but the fuel itself has to be created from clean sources. They have developed a process that uses artificial photosynthesis and nanotubes to finalize this project.
Hydrogen On-Demand System Boosts Van Mileage by 94%
This man (a retired school teacher) says he applied what many others on the internet describe as "on-board hydrogen generation", with a couple of jars, some electrodes and potassium hydroxide.
