A 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 • Read More »

Pharos Marine Orcageno Hydrogen Diesel Yacht Will Float Your Boat
December 22, 2009 | By | 1 Comment | Filed in: Hydrogen Buses, Hydrogen Vehicles.This 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 • Read More »
The First Hydrogen Vehicle Was Not a Car, Train, or Boat
December 21, 2009 | By | Comments Off on The First Hydrogen Vehicle Was Not a Car, Train, or Boat | Filed in: Hydrogen Vehicles.Since 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 • Read More »
Hydrogen Bus Fleet Expanding in the North America

Small RC UTC Mini Fuel Cell Helicopter Takes Flight
November 30, 2009 | By | Comments Off on Small RC UTC Mini Fuel Cell Helicopter Takes Flight | Filed in: Hydrogen Aircraft, Hydrogen Vehicles.This 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 • Read More »
