Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Pedego Electric Bikes and SiGNa Chemistry have developed a hydrogen fuel cell range extender for their line of electric bicycles. According to the Pedego press release, “The announced battery-fuel cell hybrid system is compatible with all existing Pedego bicycles and batteries. For every 1.5 lbs. of weight a rider carries, an additional 700 watt-hours of […]
Continue ReadingI’ve just read a press release about how SFC Energy AG and Sortimo International GmbH are teaming up to create a mobile power device that contains both fuel cell and lithium batteries. From my read of this press release (and I may be wrong) it sounds like this device will be using hydrogen inside the […]
Continue ReadingLast week I talked about ITM Power’s new HFuel portable hydrogen refueling station as potentially being a game changer in regard to quickly and easily rolling out hydrogen infrastructure as needed and where needed. This week, specialty gas manufacturer Air Products has also announced their spin on a new kind of hydrogen fueling station that […]
Continue ReadingI’ve talked several times in the past about using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as clean, zero emissions fuel for all kinds of vehicles including cars, jetpacks, planes, trains and even spacecraft. A little earlier this year another vehicle came onto the scene which is a hydrogen peroxide powered personal helicopter. The Avimech Dragonfly DF1 weighs just […]
Continue ReadingHydrogenics is not a new player in the hydrogen field. They have successfully built electrolyzers for years. And over these years, Hydrogenics has improved efficiency, durability and brought down costs of its hydrogen generators. According to Hydrogenics, President and CEO Daryl Wilson, “This latest award will demonstrate a new design for Hydrogenics – our fifth […]
Continue ReadingI’ve talked about hydrogen forklifts before as well as palette trucks and other H2 vehicles within a large warehouse setting. I’ve also talked about some of the biggest players who are using these commercial hydrogen vehicles for the benefits of clean indoor air plus their ability to run for hours and short refueling times. This […]
Continue ReadingHydrogen advocates got it right quickly that adding a hybrid battery to a fuel cell car would help extend the range of the vehicle plus supply more power when needed. Now battery electric vehicle (BAV) makers are starting to catch on that adding a hydrogen fuel cell to their EVs will extend the range of […]
Continue ReadingZinc Air, Incorporated out of Montana has licensed the rights for a zinc air fuel cell developed by a retired chemist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The good news for hydrogen hybrid vehicle makers it that zinc is seen as a replacement for expensive platinum in fuel cells and not so environmentally friendly […]
Continue ReadingITM Power, maker of low cost electrolyzer units for refueling cars and other applications has teamed up with Scottish Water, one of the largest water companies in the United Kingdom that has a fleet of over 1,500 vehicles. ITM Power will be testing its HFUEL high volume, 5,000 psi transportable hydrogen refueling unit for commercial […]
Continue ReadingOn August 16, 2010 I had talked about the Global Observer UAV which was built by AeroVironment and being tested at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The Global Observer UAV is a hybrid unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is powered by both batteries and liquid hydrogen via a small internal combustion engine. The purpose […]
