fuel cell

Could this be the end of aviation fuel?

A team of scientists from the Monash University, Australia, has designed a fuel cell which will be used in the latest generation of hybrid cars. Their fuel cells could make the vehicles more reliable and more cheap to build.

Tech advances launching a solar revolution? I know, we've heard that before. But this might be the real deal. Holy atomic pile, Batman!

DETROIT (Reuters) - Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles are still 15 years away from becoming a viable business for automakers even if they overcome remaining technical hurdles and the U.S. government provides massive subsidies, a government-funded report said on Thursday.- Robert B Cordiak

Honda’s first hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicle rolled off the assembly line today...

Okay so they aren’t fully here, but get ready cause they’re coming. It’s only day old news but already this is a well known story, the Honda Fuel Cell is making its way to North America. There has been allot of buzz surrounding the BMW hydrogen fuel cell car, but once again I believe Honda will be ahead of the curve.

Californians are about to get a taste of the new zero emissions hydrogen fuel cell car from Honda.

When it comes to electric cars and fuel cell cars, we tend to wait around for a while, always being promised something that is just the little bit further into the future. Today, however, we have something firmly in hand. Honda has announced this morning that they have begun commercial production of their fuel cell powered car, the FCX Clarity.

The Bush administration has just announced extra funding to support the development of plug-in hybrid vehicles. So why are we not cheering? The funding given by the government will amount to a pathetic $30 million, spread between three years. $10 million a year – roughly equivalent to what the Pentagon spends on stationery!

The Japanese company Genepax has unveiled a car that runs exclusively on water. They even have a working prototype that was showed off in front of the press. They claim that using only one liter of water it can run with 80km/h.

Japan can marker, Toyota, announced today that the company will introduce a plug-in hybrid vehicle by 2010. This will further help consumers cut their carbon footprint and fight global warming. This announcement was part of a further emphasis on developing Toyota’s ‘green’ strategy.

Toyota announced today that it has developed a fuel cell hybrid vehicle with a newly designed high-performance fuel cell stack. Their “TOYOTA FCHV-adv” has increased its fuel efficiency over the company’s previous FCHV by 25% through higher efficiency of the fuel cells, better regenerative breaking, and reducing energy consumed in on-board systems. They’ve also improved the durability of the fuel cell by controlling the degradation of the electrode catalyst.

it's official. there's now a green way to kill people.

Yet another cool invention from Samsung. After they did break many European and American markets, they plan to knock out those solar power fanatics, by using water as a power source.

A new design created by MTI micro fuel cells has designed a new methanol based fuel cell that will be used to charge and recharge cell phones seven times before refuelling the with Methanol

Ok we all know that fuel cells are getting popular with upcoming eco-friendly vehicles like Suzuki motorcycles to the Honda FCX Clarity. But now, Boeing is going sky high with fuel cells.

Green vehicles are eco-friendly alternatives to regular cars because they produce less carbon emissions and require less fuel. This guide will give you an overview of the most popular green vehicles on the market.

French analysts have concluded that the wild popularity of gasoline-hybrid electric vehicles in the United States could potentially hinder development of more sustainable and advanced green vehicles.

Cadillac unveils a series of new vehicles at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, that range from elite sports cars to gas-free automobiles. GM alsounveils the Provoq concept, a petroleum-free, hydrogen-powered vehicle that emits no emissions other than water.

At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), an international technology trade show, Cadillac presented its high-tech Provoq concept. Provoq is a new generation car; its power comes from a fuel cell. Cadillac's Provoq don't use petrol or diesel engine.

The zero emissions space up! blue is the third in Volkswagen's up! concept range currently being showcased in a global tour of major auto industry events.

Opera singer Anna Netrebko supports BMW's alternative fuel vehicle, the BMW Hydrogen 7, as the car combines both luxury and environmental protection. BMW Hydrogen 7, the first hydrogen-powered luxury car, comes equipped with an internal combustion dual power 260hp 12-cylinder engine, whichcan switch from running conventional petrol to liquid hydrogen (emitting nothing more than water vapor). The development ofhydrogen technology is part of the BMW Group's CleanEnergy strategy, which serves to fulfill current and future demand for

During the LA autoshow Toyota revealed a significant achievement in its ongoing hydrogen-hybrid fuel cell development program: a Toyota Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle made it from Alaska to Vancouver in just seven days, proving reliability and durability of Toyota’s fuel cell system.

Let’s suppose aliens would come to Earth and treat us like some kind of bacteria. How would it be if you’re to be transformed genetically into a battery, and used every day for somebody to light their bathroom?

The Soviet Union once powered lighthouses on its Arctic coast using radioactive batteries, leaving its successors the problem of disposing of the nuclear waste. Now a cleaner technology is being harnessed to power lighthouses in remote places: fuel cells.

Toyota announced this week that its FCHV fuel-cell car can now go 350 miles on a single tank of hydrogen.The automaker estimates that the true range of the vehicle is actually up to 470 miles, more than 25% more efficient than earlier versions.

This method of water electrolysis is based on generation of electrical square impulses at a given frequency. I will test this kind of device myself and if it really works I will publish on this site the exact frequency you need to separate H2 from O. It has been done by Stanley Meyer, who got his patent on this system, and now it is being blogged all around the world as the “water car fuel” system.

Hydrogen-on-demand systems within the automotive industry may one day rock the world. If the current hydrogen on demand systems that are being developed pan out or if future hydrogen-on-demand systems take hold, this could mean that building a huge hydrogen gas infrastructure is not necessary. Read all about it.

Have a look at what Mercades has planned for the future. The Mercedes fuel cell technology will be come to the market around 2010.
