Back in the day when a man would ride through the desert on a horse with no name, few would have envisioned at that time a land with whipping wind turbines and hydrogen fueling stations. But, if Palm Springs, California Mayor Steve Pougnet gets his way that is exactly what will happen with this upscale [...]

Now, I don’t generally comment on the opinions of what other people write in other online newspapers and magazines, but there is a piece in the Hartford Courant that merits some discussion. The article “A Letter to President Obama: A Technological To-Do List” talks about technology in general and hydrogen in specific.
The article mainly talks [...]

Researchers at Penn State University have discovered that combining aluminum and water will create hydrogen. Now, in many ways this is nothing new since I’ve talked about similar science before over the past couple of years.
In fact, I’ve talked about Hydrogen Power, Incorporated’s AlumiFuel technology for their H2Go hydrogen on demand system that was used [...]

Last summer I had talked about how hydrogen on demand technology may one day be paired up with the emerging ethanol infrastructure. At that time, Ohio State University researchers discovered that using cerium oxide, calcium and cobalt will split ethanol into hydrogen cheaply and efficiently.
Now, researchers at the U. S. DOE, Yeshiva University and the [...]

In 2008, there was $281 million allocated for the Hydrogen Fuel Initiative under former President Bush. This funding was for research, development and demonstration of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.
The report itself is an extremely long series of PDF files covering the many different sections. So, I’ve linked to the overview of this report and [...]

A few days back I had talked about using hydrogen slurry as a liquid storage and transportation medium that may be more efficient that using compressed H2 gas. Now, another manufacturer of a hydrogen-rich liquid compound has come to my attention that may also offer answers towards building a sensible hydrogen infrastructure at lower costs.
A [...]

No, there was no crime involved here. The handing over of the Honda Clarity fuel cell vehicle to a non-Hollywood person is a part of the car company’s promotion plan for its newest hydrogen vehicle.
Karen Thorp of Newport Beach, California, who regularly prosecutes mass murders as a senior deputy district attorney for L. A. County, [...]

At Swarthmore College, in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, engineering students Andres Pacheco and Alex Bell are getting in gear and putting their hydrogen fuel cell motorcycle through its paces. The two are using a Ballard PEM fuel cell stack with hydrogen stored in two metal hydride tanks.
The bonded hydrogen is released from the metal powder inside the [...]

It was only last November that I was talking about the first ever HHO Games & Exposition in Bradenton, Florida. Now, back by popular demand, as they say, is the second round of HHO advocates, buyers, sellers and curious types just getting their feet wet.
HHO of course if the hydrogen and oxygen gas (or oxyhydrogen) [...]

Proponents of wind energy realize that this is a renewable, yet intermittent form of producing electricity. So, when there is peak demand on the electrical grid and the large utility wind farms can’t deliver because of the variances of the weather, what are consumers to do?
Now, I’ve talked about wind to hydrogen storage before. In [...]
