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
Doing the rounds among motorcycle enthusiasts for the last week has been a slightly unusual machine variously portrayed as running on water or sea water. This sounds like the stuff …read more Continue reading This Motorcycle Uses Water!
A kilogram of hydrogen holds 39.4 kWh of energy, but typically costs around 52.5 kWh of energy to create via current commercial electrolyzers. Australian company Hysata says its new capillary-fed electrolyzer cell slashes that energy cost to 41.5 kWh, … Continue reading Record-breaking hydrogen electrolyzer claims 95% efficiency
Electrolysis is a key component of the cost of green hydrogen, and a Korean team says it’s made a huge breakthrough with an anion exchange membrane that’s not only much cheaper than current proton exchange tech, but offers some 20 percent better perfor… Continue reading “Game-changing” anode exchange membrane promises cheaper green hydrogen
As we all know, the lightsaber is an elegant weapon, for a more civilized age. [Alex Burkan] is doing what he can to bring that technology to fruition, and even …read more Continue reading Building a Lightsaber and Scoring a World Record, Too
Combining two forms of sustainable energy into one range-extending propulsion system, Swiss Sustainable Yachts’ clean, quiet catamaran promises to jumpstart a future in which the word “range” becomes obsolete. The 64-footer harnesses solar energy to cr… Continue reading Swiss smart yacht points solar-hydrogen power toward “limitless” range
When it comes to turning a raw block of metal into a useful part, most processes are pretty dramatic. Sharp and tough tools are slammed into raw stock to remove …read more Continue reading 3D-Printed Tooling Enables DIY Electrochemical Machining
