Here’s a blast from the past. I want to take you back to 1999 when the Gillette Mach 3 Challenger motorcycle broke the land speed record running on hydrogen peroxide and aluminum and hit the record mark of 365 miles per hour at the Bonneville Salt Flats. In the past, I’ve talked many times about [...]

Okay, I’ll admit this is a stretch from the usual talk about hydrogen cars and vehicles. Let’s chalk this one up to “hydrogen transportation” or at least “hydrogen assisted transportation”. In the past, I’ve talked about the Honda ASIMO robot powered by fuel cell and a bionic arm powered by hydrogen peroxide. So, now when [...]

I’ve talked about hydrogen peroxide powered vehicles a dozen times in the past, but I haven’t spoken about them in a while, so I thought it was time to bring up the subject once again. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) that is fuel grade (90-percent or better) is a caustic liquid, that when used as fuel provides [...]

Bristol Spaceplanes has conducted a successful strap down test firing of a hydrogen peroxide demonstrator (HPD). This engine will be part of the Ascender rocket engine which will be propelling space tourists into low earth orbit within the next 1 to3 years. The exhaust from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is steam and oxygen. Now, it’s no [...]

Powered by hydrogen peroxide, jet pack pilot Eric Scott has set a world speed record of 68 mph. In November 2008, I had talked about Scott setting a world record for distance and height in a hydrogen peroxide powered jet pack as he sailed 1,500 feet over a 1,000 feet abyss in Colorado. Now, Scott [...]

A couple of months ago I talked about jetpacks and how the clean, green hydrogen peroxide that fuels them has yet to be harnessed to its full potential. Yesterday, rocket man Eric Scott pulled off a fine feat of harnessing some of the potential of hydrogen peroxide as he set a world record for distance [...]

Yesterday I talked about the Formula H hydrogen racecar going for the Guinness World Record for land speed for cars in its class. And, several times in the past, I’ve talked about using clean, green hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a future fuel for cars, where the only bi-products are steam and oxygen. Now, a racecar [...]

Two days ago I talked about jetpacks so today I thought I would speak a bit about rocket science in outer space. According to FlightGlobal, NASA is close to announcing the testing of their hydrogen-powered plasma fueled VASIMR engine on the International Space Station (ISS). The next step will be a scale model test of [...]

I’ve talked about hydrogen peroxide as a possible clean, green fuel for future cars and other vehicles in the past. Hydrogen peroxide can be used in planes, trains, automobiles and everything in-between. I’ve also mentioned that hydrogen peroxide is being used in jetpacks and rocket packs as a high intensity fuel where the only bi-product [...]

Tomorrow’s hydrogen infrastructure will not be the same as today’s gasoline infrastructure. The naysayers of hydrogen technology point out how overwhelming it will be to set up a hydrogen infrastructure that models the current gasoline infrastructure and they may be right. Producing hydrogen gas in centralized facilities and then piping, trucking or sending it by [...]
