Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Features hydrogen vehicles other than cars such as forklifts, motorcycles, bikes, buses and submarines.
The University of South Carolina Hydrogen Hybrid Bus is leaving the moderate temperature of the South and heading towards the much less forgiving temperatures of Vancouver, Canada in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Back in November 2009, I had talked about how hydrogen buses commissioned in Canada were starting to arrive for the 2010 […]
Continue ReadingOkay, so the headline is a mouthful. That repetitive “T” may not roll well off one’s tongue. But, the fact is that I’ve been talking about the Vision Industries Tyrano fuel cell plug-in hybrid truck since May 2009. The original idea was to test and rollout the truck in the ports of Los Angeles and […]
Continue ReadingThe Italians and European Union are preparing a light 2-seat airplane for takeoff powered by hydrogen fuel cell and lithium ion batteries. I’ve talked about manned hydrogen fuel cell airplanes before, with and without the aid of lithium ion batteries. The Rapid 200-FC hydrogen fuel cell manned airplane has an electric 40 kW propeller and […]
Continue ReadingA few weeks ago I talked about how a company called Hydrogenics was double dipping by building both hydrogen fuel cells for cars and hydrogen fueling stations (using electrolyzers). It seems that this company has their hands inside anything to do with hydrogen. A week ago Hydrogenics announced that it was teaming up with Rosetti […]
Continue ReadingThis past summer I had talked about a hydrogen yacht sailing around the Mediterranean Sea and just yesterday I had talked about how the first hydrogen transport vehicle was not a boat. So, today, of course I’d like to talk about a new hydrogen yacht on the scene. Pharos Marine, based out of Egypt, has […]
Continue ReadingSince the holidays are in full swing, I thought I would get a little nostalgic at this time of year and talk about the history of hydrogen used help people travel. As noted in the headline, the first hydrogen vehicle for carrying people from point A to point B was not a car, train or […]
Continue ReadingA couple of weeks ago I talked about how the 40 HyCUTE:FLEET buses mostly in Europe had transported over 8.5 million passengers in their demonstration and testing phase. In the U. S. right now there are 10 hydrogen fuel cell buses operating in six locations. If we include the 20 H2 fuel cell buses being […]
Continue ReadingWell, this is the week for hydrogen bikes and scooters as we have two separate developments in these areas. First up is the ACTA hydrogen bike which was exhibited at the EICMA Motor Show in Milan, Italy. This hydrogen assisted bike can either be motivated by pedal power or fuel cell. The hydrogen is stored […]
Continue ReadingFuel cell sailboats and motorboats are both making headlines promoting the use of green hydrogen as way to clean up oceans, rivers, lakes and other waterways. I’ve talked about EFOY several times in the past as providing auxiliary power to motor homes and traffic signals. This time on the Pogo2 yacht the EFOY 2200 provided […]
Continue ReadingThis is being reported as the world’s first mini RC fuel cell helicopter to take flight, but that is debatable since in June 2008 I had previously talked about the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM in Berlin, Germany creating an unmanned remote control mini helicopter powered by fuel cell. But, nonetheless, the United […]
