Hydrogen! It’s a highly flammable gas that seems way too cool to be easy to come by. And yet, it’s actually trivial to make it out of water if you …read more Continue reading Simple Hydrogen Generator Makes Bubbles and Looks Cool
You have to throw some energy away to make hydrogen – typically around 20-30%, even with the best systems, which use around 52.5 kWh of energy to create a kilogram of hydrogen that can store 39.4 kWh of energy. It’s a waste of renewable energy, and it contributes to the high cost of a green fuel option that’s really struggling to compete against fossils and batteries in many applications.

Type 1 diabetes remains a problem despite having an apparently simple solution: since T1D patients have lost the cells that produce insulin, it should be possible to transplant those cells …read more Continue reading Implant Fights Diabetes by Making Insulin and Oxygen
Everyone and their pet hamster probably knows that the most common way to produce hydrogen is via the electrolysis of water, but there are still a number of steps between …read more Continue reading Creating an Automated Hydrogen Generator At Home
An international team from the University of Adelaide, Australia, Tianjin and Nankai Universities in China and Kent State University in the US has published new research claiming that a simple, cheap acid layer over the catalyst in an electrolyzer allo… Continue reading Acid coating converts regular electrolyzers to split seawater
One problem with renewably-produced hydrogen is that it uses fresh water – and with a quarter of the world’s population already facing severe water scarcity at least one month of every year, freshwater is an ever more finite and precious resource. So t… Continue reading Clever device efficiently splits hydrogen and lithium out of seawater
RMIT researchers say they’ve unlocked cheaper, more energy-efficient green hydrogen production with a new electrolysis technique boosted by sound waves. With these high-frequency vibrations active, standard electrolysis produces 14x more hydrogen.Conti… Continue reading High-frequency sound waves make electrolyzers produce 14x more hydrogen
Australian researchers have developed and tested a way to electrolyze hydrogen straight out of the air, anywhere on Earth, without requiring any other fresh water source. The Direct Air Electrolyzer (DAE) absorbs and converts atmospheric moisture – eve… Continue reading World’s first direct air electrolyzer makes hydrogen from humidity
Stored hydrogen is often touted as the ultimate green energy solution, provided the hydrogen is produced from genuinely green power sources. But there are technical problems to be overcome before …read more Continue reading Renewable Hydrogen Sucked From Thinish Air
Brass plaques are eye-catching because no one makes them on a whim. They are more costly than wood or plastic, and processing them is proportionally difficult. [Becky Stern] picked the …read more Continue reading Brass Plaque Honors Brother
