Researchers at Monash University along with help from scientists from the University of Davis in northern California and the Australian Synchrotron have discovered a method to produce hydrogen from water using manganese and sunlight. Now, in the past I’ve talked about using a variety of catalysts to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. I’ve talked • Read More »

Storing Hydrogen with Crab Shells and Chicken Feathers
April 15, 2010 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | Comments Off on Storing Hydrogen with Crab Shells and Chicken Feathers | Filed in: Hydrogen Fuel Storage.Scientists and researchers have spent years trying to simulate Mother Nature in creating hydrogen or storing hydrogen more efficiently. Artificial photosynthesis using viruses or nano leaf structures are recent areas of study for creating hydrogen fuel. But, just as important as creating hydrogen is also storing the element for later use by fuel cell cars • Read More »
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Forklifts for Whole Foods
November 2, 2009 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | Comments Off on Hydrogen Fuel Cell Forklifts for Whole Foods | Filed in: Hydrogen Forklifts, Hydrogen Vehicles.The green grocery store, Whole Foods Markets, which started operations in Austin, Texas in 1980 has decided to pilot a set of hydrogen fuel cell forklifts at one of their distribution centers in Maryland. Now, I’ve talked about forklifts for grocers before such as H-E-B Corporation and Wegmans Food Markets. Whole Foods going with hydrogen • Read More »
Technology for Rockets and Robots May Be Used for Hydrogen Cars
October 22, 2009 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | 1 Comment | Filed in: Hydrogen Fuel Production.Would it be any surprise that technology developed for NASA would one day be used to fuel hydrogen cars? NASA has been using hydrogen fuel cells in their spacecraft for over 40 years and routinely uses hydrogen as a propellant as well. Researchers at Purdue and Penn State University have developed an aluminum-ice propellant (ALICE) • Read More »
