Water vapor, not CO2 causing global warming?
13 November 2005A new study, if accurate, could set off an interesting struggle between proponents of hydrogen power and other power generation technologies. The new study suggests it is water vapor that is responsible for global warming to a far greater degree than CO2. If that’s true, the hydrogen cars that would all run around emitting only [...]
Nuclear power and wind produce cheap hydrogen
11 November 2005It’s no secret we believe nuclear power is a great way to produce the electricity for generating hydrogen, now two scientists have come up with a plan to combine nuclear and wind power for generating hydrogen through electrolysis.
Wind on its own is too variable, Miller says, leaving electrolysis equipment frequently idle and driving up costs. [...]
Jeremy Rifkin gives hydrogen a bad name
9 November 2005Around here, we look at hydrogen as a potential answer to energy problems but it has to prove itself like any other technology. Jeremy Rifkin, author of The Hydrogen Economy, perpetually prophesizes doom if we don’t get on board with hydrogen immediately. We’ve mentioned before how he sounds so alarmist about everything that everyone starts [...]
Robot fuel cell assembly reduces cost of production
9 November 2005Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has a research project under way with the goal of developing a robotic assembly process for fuel cell stacks for PEM fuel cells:
“Many of the materials in PEM stacks are thin, flexible, soaked in corrosive acids, or highly sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature,” Puffer says. “This makes material handling orders [...]
Hydrino - new source of hydrogen power?
6 November 2005Randall Mills of Harvard, who has also studied at MIT, claims to have developed a power source that generates 1000 times more heat than conventional fuel. It is said in reports from the company that independent scientists have verified Mills’ claim. The company, Blacklight Power, is supposed to already have tens of millions of dollars [...]
