Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Fuel Cell information is examined incluiding those powered by hydrogen.
A fuel cell uses the chemical energy of fuels or hydrogen to efficiently produce the electricity. If we use hydrogen as fuel, then the products will be electricity, water, and heat. Fuel cells have wide range of uses, like they can be used to provide electricity to a small laptop computer, a vehicle or may […]
Continue ReadingThere was a recent announcement made by the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center, that a mechanical engineer, Benjamin Wilcox, working for the Shore Technical Department, received two 20-year patents for designing underwater refueling fuel cell systems. The US Patent number 10,731,549 is assigned to “In-Water Refueling System for Unmanned Undersea Vehicles with Fuel […]
Continue ReadingFor years, hydrogen fuel has been viewed through two prisms including the ability to give us a potential solution for long-term ethical energy, and the mass challenges that we face in turning hydrogen into an affordable form of fuel in the long-term. Along these lines, there has been a push for a development of non-platinum […]
Continue Readingby guest blogger Stan Thompson updated 12/21/2020 In the late 1800s Nikola Tesla took Thomas Edison’s DC and alternated the polarity back and forth so that its voltage could be stepped up by a transformer and hauled much further by overcoming electrical resistance. Way off in the distance, at the user end, another transformer stepped […]
Continue ReadingFuel cell manufacturers are constantly looking for solutions that allows for maximum performance and efficiency. That is why the development of polyphthalamide for use in fuel cells is so important: the performance boost that they can provide is incredible. Fuel cell development firm Nuvera Fuel Cells are now moving into the process of using BASF’s […]
Continue ReadingAs one of the most promising green technologies that we have, the use of hydrogen fuel cells in cars is a huge deal. This could be the industry change that allows us to move into an era whereby we can move away from having to use expensive, non-sustainable sources for fuel. However, one problem that […]
Continue Readingby guest blogger Stan Thompson Many of us who saw the hydrogen transition coming over two decades ago are frustrated by writers today who feel obliged to apologize for the vast amount of hydrogen that goes into fertilizer and petrochemicals. Many of these folks probably feel they have to mention it because so many have […]
Continue ReadingFor some time now, much research has been put into coming up with new fuel cell technology solutions. With the importance of such technology for the future of the planet, it makes sense that people will want to make progress ASAP. The latest innovation in the fuel cell tech industry comes from the University of […]
Continue Readingby guest blogger, Stan Thompson Let’s limit the damage to hydrogen progress caused by “friendly fire.” Good reportage, scholarship and fair play do not require that every article point out that most hydrogen comes from extracted carbon. It’s true, it’s undeniable—but it’s totally irrelevant. The vast amounts of hydrogen produced from hydrocarbons to make petrochemicals, […]
Continue Readingby guest blogger Stan Thompson Everything seems to have a Ukraine connection these days. Why not hydrail (H2 fuel cell rail traction)? Per Wikipedia, in 1880, several years before Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee, a Ukrainian engineer named Pyotr Pirotsky introduced the world’s first electric “tram” (European for “streetcar”) in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Soon Pirotsky connected […]
