Hawaii Home Hydrogen Fueling Stations Planned by H2 Technologies

Almost two years ago I had talked about Hawaii’s hydrogen economy getting in gear with the help of Governor Linda Lingle. Now, Governor Lingle is at it again, helping a company called H2 Technologies get $50 million in financing through the state’s bond program to develop hydrogen technology that will provide power for people’s homes [...]

Hydrogen Fuel Injection Helps School Buses Increase Mileage

I’ve been talking a lot lately about hydrogen generators for cars and trucks. This hydrogen fuel injection (HFI) technology will now be used on school buses in Canada. Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies Incorporated (HHT) has just received its first orders to install the HHO devices on the buses in district 5 in British Columbia. British Columbia [...]

Hydrail Hydrogen Train Conference Stopping in Valencia, Spain June 9, 2008

It’s been a while since I’ve talked about hydrail (hydrogen railway) technology. But, talked about or not hydrogen trains keep on rolling (as I was graciously reminded by Hydrail.org Chairman Stan Thompson). In fact, the Fourth International Hydrail Conference is rolling right into Valencia, Spain on June 9, 2008 to discuss advances in fuel cell [...]

Fiat Phylla Solar Car Uses Hydrogen Fuel Cell

The Fiat Phylla is a solar and hydrogen fuel cell powered city car made in Italy with unique design and styling. Presented at the Uniamo le energie in Turin, the Fiat Phylla (meaning “leaf”) was de-shrouded before an excited crowd. The Fiat Phylla prototype is so new and raw that the carmaker does not yet [...]

HHO Generator Saves Fuel in Automobiles

I’ve written a lot lately about hydrogen generators for cars and trucks. Since there seems to be peak interest in this subject right now and new products and ebooks on the market for the DIY’er to build his or her own HHO generator, I would like to visit this subject once again. In the past, [...]

Montana Middle School Students Test Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles

A couple of weeks ago I talked about the EnergyWhiz Olympics in Florida where high school students in the area built and raced small hydrogen fuel cell cars. Middle schoolers also competed in the Hands-On-Hydrogen challenge as well. Today I’d like to talk about a group of Montana middle school students who were challenged by [...]

The black cabs are part of a plan to roll out a line of fuel cell vehicles in time for the 2012 Olympics in London. Partnering with TRW, London Taxis International and Lotus, Intelligent Energy is following in the footsteps [...]

Road2Hy Helps EU Map Out Hydrogen Future, U. S. Is Lagging

Yesterday, I talked about how two companies in the United Kingdom will perhaps be selling the first commercial hydrogen cars and fueling stations as early as this summer. Today, I would like to talk about how the rest of the European Union has mapped out its growth for a future filled with hydrogen cars. In [...]

ITM Power and Roush Put UK on Fast Track to Hydrogen

British firms, ITM Power and Roush Technologies have signed an agreement that will put the United Kingdom on the fast track to hydrogen cars. Roush, a leading automotive technology, engineering and development firm will be responsible for adapting current internal combustion engines to run on hydrogen. ITM Power, on the other hand, is in the [...]

Funeral for Millennium Cell

Hydrogen fuel cell maker Millennium Cell has gone down in flames this month, which has been largely unnoticed by the industry or media. But, I think it’s important to acknowledge industry leaders and pioneers even when they do fall a little short. As of May 9, 2008 all employees of Millennium Cell have found themselves [...]
