Fuel Cells to Become a Viable Business Only 15 Years from Now
Vehicles based on hydrogen fuel cells are still 15 years away to becoming a viable business for manufacturers, informs Reuters. In the best case, the manufacturers will be able to sell only two million electric vehicles based on fuel cells until 2020, according to a study conducted by the National Research Council. This figure represents less than 1% of the cars located at that time on U.S. roads.
Water Powered Cars Weekly Gathering from Van Nuys, CA
Van Nuys, CA, is the place where hydrogen car fanatics meet every weekend, for about an hour, in a park. There they discuss their HHO boosters, exchange opinions and schematics, but the gathering is not only for that! They also welcome "outside" people, skeptics, who want to touch, feel and smell cleaner burning gasoline and (or) diesel. They can buy some kits or gather instructions on how to build their own hydrogen boosters.
Home Made Hydrogen for Your Car
A British company, ITM, has invented a device that does electrolysis and splits water into hydrogen. They even modified a Ford Focus to run on the hydrogen they make(basically no big deal, just a few adjustments to the top dead center of the pistons and a little chip tricking on the exhaust).
Breakthrough Discovery for Stationary Industrial Fuel Cells – Faster Startups
In their search to make better fuel cells, a research team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with the University of Liverpool, has discovered a new structure that moves oxygen ions through the cell at substantially lower temperatures than previously thought possible.
Professor Korakianitis Doubts Japanese Water Car Claims
Watch the video first, and then read the article. It may be better that way. Some things must be stood up for, because this is our only way of saving the whole world from petrol dependence.
Ultracell XX25 Methanol Fuel Cell – 8 Hours of Portable Power for Military Laptops
California-based company Ultracell designed this methanol fuel cell for the army. XX25 uses eight and a half ounces of methanol to supply power for a military laptop for eight hours. It can also be made to last longer if you attach it to a bigger tank of methanol.
Mazda Hydrogen Car – to be Tested on Japan’s Roads
Mazda is in the process of testing a car that runs on both hydrogen and gasoline (it's a dual fuel system). They're allowed to test the car on the public roads from Japan.
Home Made Refueling Station for Honda FCX Clarity
It is essentially an electric car. Everyone's talking about their fears that they don't have hydrogen refueling stations around, forgetting that we have water all around us.
GM Hy-Wire Fuel Cell Vehicle Tested by Top Gear
...and here's the HyWire technology, the one the world has been talking about in the last few months. It's a concept made by General Motors, there is only one example of it made, and it runs on fuel cell power. I mean... hydrogen power.
Japanese Car Runs Exclusively on Water!
The Japanese company Genepax has unveiled a car that runs exclusively on water. They even have a working prototype that was showed off in front of the press. They claim that using only one liter of water it can run with 80km/h.
