eHydrogen Solutions, Inc. has created its H2-Reactor hydrogen on demand system that uses only water and metal alloys. The H2-Reactor system uses aluminum or magnesium alloys plus water to create hydrogen fuel for cars or for stationary fuel cells for residential or industrial applications. I’ve talked about eHydrogen Solutions once before when they developed their • Read More »

Solar to Water and Biogas Offer Two Solutions for Hydrogen Production
March 18, 2010 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | Comments Off on Solar to Water and Biogas Offer Two Solutions for Hydrogen Production | Filed in: Hydrogen Fuel Production.Normally, I would talk about these two subjects in different blog posts. But, I wanted to show first how much time, energy and money is being spent on coming up with cost effective hydrogen production solutions and second the variety of methods companies are using in aggressively pursuing the hydrogen production issue. First, I would • Read More »
Laser Hydride CD Storage for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles

July 7, 2009 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | Comments Off on DOE’s SRNL Cracks Aluminum Hydride Alane Code | Filed in: Hydrogen Fuel Production.I’ve talked in the past many times about using aluminum hydrides, magnesium hydrides or other hydrogen chemical storage methods such as sodium borohydride. Now, the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) and their Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) have cracked the code on reusable aluminum hydrides, which they refer to as “alane” to store hydrogen • Read More »
Aluminum and Water Create Hydrogen According to Penn State
January 28, 2009 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | 2 Comments | Filed in: Hydrogen Fuel Production.Researchers at Penn State University have discovered that combining aluminum and water will create hydrogen. Now, in many ways this is nothing new since I’ve talked about similar science before over the past couple of years. In fact, I’ve talked about Hydrogen Power, Incorporated’s AlumiFuel technology for their H2Go hydrogen on demand system that was • Read More »
Hydrogen Slurry Could Hurry Infrastructure Development
January 14, 2009 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | 6 Comments | Filed in: Hydrogen Fuel Production.Earlier this week, one of the readers of this blog, Nute, had made a comment on another section of this blog in November about the possible use of hydrogen slurries to aid in the development of the fledgling H2 infrastructure. I would like to follow up on this today. A hydrogen slurry is a liquid • Read More »
Hydrogen Car Tanks Lighter than Plug In Electric Batteries
November 11, 2008 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | Comments Off on Hydrogen Car Tanks Lighter than Plug In Electric Batteries | Filed in: Hydrogen Cars, Hydrogen Fuel Tanks.A recent study by Dutch researcher Robin Gremaud has shown that metal hydride hydrogen tanks are actually 40 to 60-percent lighter than a battery pack on an electric vehicle. The study proposed using light metal alloys comprised on magnesium, titanium and nickel for the hydrogen tanks. By using the technique of hydrogenography, Gremaud was able • Read More »
San Diego Teen Inventor to Display Hydrogen Hybrid Engine
May 12, 2008 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | 2 Comments | Filed in: Entrepreneurs.Dr. Roger E. Billings started his long and illustrious career in hydrogen, by converting a gasoline-powered lawnmower engine to run on H2. Now, half a century later, 17-year-old San Diego high school student Josh Wesolowski has built a hybrid lawnmower engine that runs on unleaded gasoline, propane, methanol and hydrogen. The lawnmower engine starts with • Read More »
Embrio Advanced Concept Hydrogen-Powered One-Wheel Motorcycle
March 3, 2008 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | 3 Comments | Filed in: Hydrogen Bikes, Hydrogen Vehicles.Someone at the Canadian company Bombardier Recreational Products was thinking way outside the box when they created this futuristic Embrio Advanced Concept one-wheel motorcycle. This unicycle-on-steroids concept is powered by hydrogen fuel cell and gives a glimpse of what the future of transportation may look like in the year 2025. The Embrio Advanced Concept oddly enough • Read More »
Hydrogen Diesel Injection Developed by Alternative Energy Corporation
January 30, 2008 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | 3 Comments | Filed in: Hydrogen Fuel Production.In March of 2007, I had talked about Alternative Energy Corporation (AEC) creating a new method of producing hydrogen cleanly without electrolyzing water or steam reforming natural gas. At that time, I had spoken with CEO Blaine Froats about the chemical process of creating bulk hydrogen and the valuable byproducts this process would also create. • Read More »
