New Hydrogen Storage from Metal Alloy 40% Lighter Than Batteries
Robin Gremaud, a researcher from Netherlands, found out through experimentation that an alloy of the metals magnesium, titanium and nickel is absorbing hydrogen very well. What's most interesting about his discovery is that the three metals form a very light alloy, about 40% lighter than a Lithium Ion battery pack at the same size (for example, a Prius battery weights 317 kg, while this hydrogen tank would only weight 200 kg).
Blacklight`s Free Energy Device Finally Verified by Rowan University
As far as I know from 7th grade, hydrogen is the only chemical element that has only one electron spinning around the nucleus. It seems, though things are going to change here, since a medical doctor from New Jersey has discovered a different reality on it. The company Randell Mills founded is called Blacklight Power, and it has been written all over the internet about it a few months ago, when they firstly announced their "free energy" device discovery.
How to Make Hydrogen from Water and Slag: Watch Tata Steel
Have you ever imagined you could get energy from melted steel? Probably not. The engineers from Tata Steel (a sister of Tata Motors) in India have obtained hydrogen from pouring water on melted steel at 1600°C.
Sewage Could Be a New Way For Cheap Hydrogen
In the field of hydrogen fuel cell production, Oregon State University researchers have discovered that sewage can produce cheap hydrogen. In comparison with traditional electrolysis technology, sewage can produce hydrogen at a lower cost.
Trametes Versicolor Fungi Could Make Fuel Cells Cheaper
Fungi grown on rotten wood could one day be harvested and genetically engineered for providing future fuel cells with an alternative to the platinum that they nowadays have inside, playing the role of a catalyst.
The Ultimate Hydrogen Storage – Made of Corncobs!
One thing is to be noted here: one gram of carbon made from corncobs has its molecular internal surface equal to a football field, plus it has been proved that boron doping will further increase this capacity in great amounts.
Mazda Postpones H2 Car Because of Poor Existing Storage
They don't want to use hydrogen in a fuel cell device, but rather burn it and use the power. The principle is the same with the one in BMW 7-series from last year, but they have something different on hand. Mazda doesn't use the classic piston-engine, which can backfire sometimes if fueled with hydrogen. Instead, they use a Wankel rotary engine.
Graphene-Based Hydrogen Storage Tanks Open New Limits
Not only US and Japan can take initiatives in this area, and here's the proof: a couple of researchers from Greece designed a material that almost meets the 2010 standards set by the US Department of Energy (DOE) for hydrogen storage, in terms of weight/pressure supported.
BASF DLR-H2: First Manned Fuel Cell Airplane Took Off!
This spring, Boeing announced a flight powered by fuel cells, only that the take-off was powered by a Li-Ion battery. This autumn, on Sept. 30, the Germans did it from head to toe by using only hydrogen! Wow!
Mobion: High Power Fuel Cell Batteries for Your Gadgets Starting 2009
Just two days ago, MTI MicroFuel Cells Inc. has made a press release for their third generation Mobion chip, a portable fuel cell powered device aimed for small-scale devices, such as iPods, media players and mobile phones.
