Bionic Arm Powered by Hydrogen Peroxide

Okay, I’ll admit it’s a bit of a stretch talking about a hydrogen-powered bionic arm on a hydrogen car website. Be that as it may, this story grabbed by attention as another mechanical device I hadn’t thought about that could be powered by the most abundant element in the universe.
Researchers at Vanderbilt University have developed […]

Iceland SMART-H2 Project Moving Forward

The SMART-H2 (Sustainable Marine and Road Transport, Hydrogen in Iceland) is moving forward in the next phase of the project. Iceland has previously declared its goal of becoming the world’s first hydrogen society.
Currently, several hydrogen buses and cars are running in Reykjavik and refuelling at a Shell Hydrogen station. SMART-H2 aims to bring more cars, […]

Roads2HyCom Roadmap Outlined in Workshop

Roads2HyCom is a European funded project set up to outline a roadmap for a future hydrogen transportation system. Besides fostering research and development projects, Roads2HyCom is also interested in promoting public awareness about hydrogen.
According to Roads2HyCom, “The EU-funded project Roads2HyCom is trying to address these issues. It assesses and monitors Hydrogen and Fuel Cell technologies, […]

Solar Farms Good for Hydrogen Economy

I’ve stated before on numerous occasions that the upcoming solar revolution will be followed by the hydrogen revolution. This is because the two technologies complement one another so well. When an over-abundance of solar energy is produced and needs to be stored, then storing solar energy as hydrogen makes a lot of sense.
It makes so […]

Chena Hot Springs Resort of Fairbanks, AK to Use Hydrogen Power

Chena Hot Springs Resort located just 60-miles down a moose-ridden road from Fairbanks, Alaska has decided to use hydrogen to power its facility. The resort, being off the beaten path a bit, currently uses propane for its gas fireplaces, clothes drying and cooking. Next month, this propane will be replaced by hydrogen.
Now, one may think […]

Peak Oil Peaking from Around the Corner

Peak oil is looming and peaking at us from around the corner. This is according to the Oil Depletion Analysis Centre in London. The scientists there have stated that cheap crude oil actually peaked in 2005 and when one considers heavy crude oil in hard to get to placed like deep sea bottoms, then the […]

Solar-Hydrogen Home In Washington State, Part 2

Last week I had talked about three friends who had built a solar-hydrogen home in Washington State. I emailed one of the friends, Jason Lerner, to ask him how the project is moving along.
Here is his reply:
Jason Lerner: Yes, our project is going well. We are just installing the newest fuel cell from Reli-on, and […]

Solar-Hydrogen House in Washington State

Yesterday I blogged about the solar-hydrogen home being built on an island in the Caribbean. On previous occasions, I’ve talked about other hydrogen homes that have already been built and are functioning in New Jersey, New York, Arizona and New Mexico.
Now, I would like to give a little attention to the solar-hydrogen home that has […]

First Solar-Hydrogen Home in Caribbean Being Built

Ya, mon! Solar and hydrogen power are coming to the Cayman Islands. Just 500 miles from Miami, the first solar-hydrogen home in the Caribbean is being built that will be carbon neutral and self-sustaining.
Renewable Energy International (REI) along with Mike Strizki who built the first solar-hydrogen home in New Jersey, will be undertaking this Cayman […]

High Hopes for Hilton Hydrogen Hotel

The Hilton Hotel in New York City has installed a UTC Power PureCell Model 200 fuel cell system to power the powerful powerhouse of a 1,980-room property. The Hilton Hotel is using the fuel cell as part of its combined heat and power (CHP) program, which is three times more efficient that using electricity from […]
