If scuba divers use inflatable BCDs (buoyancy control devices), why don’t underwater robots? Well, an experimental new one does, and the technology is claimed to be much more energy-efficient than traditional methods of moving up and down in the water….

A Northwestern University team has demonstrated a remarkable new way to generate electricity, with a paperback-sized device that nestles in soil and harvests power created as microbes break down dirt – for as long as there’s carbon in the soil.Continue… Continue reading “Dirt-powered fuel cell” draws near-limitless energy from soil
MIT’s Electric Vehicle Team has taken to the racetrack with a Ducati 900SS that’s been gutted and converted into a hydrogen fuel cell motorcycle, hoping to start collecting a few fossil-fuelled scalps. It’s also open-sourcing the design for others.Cont… Continue reading MIT’s EV team takes its open-source hydrogen motorcycle to the track
In a move that mirrors an Anglo American and Williams Advanced Engineering project from 2020, General Motors has partnered with Japan’s Komatsu to develop a fuel-cell power module for the latter’s 930E electric-drive mining truck.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading GM to fit monster e-drive mining truck with hydrogen power cubes
Launched in February of this year, BMWs iX5 pilot fleet of hydrogen-powered cars has been getting field tested in countries around the world. Most recently, the passenger car got put through its paces in the punishing conditions of the UAE.Continue Rea… Continue reading BMW’s hydrogen-powered iX5 SUV survives brutal desert heat
According to [Charles Q. Choi], a new study indicates that grooves in the hydrogen fuel cells used to power vehicles can improve their performance by up to 50%. Fuel cells …read more Continue reading Improved Hydrogen Fuel Cells are Groovy
French transport multinational Alstom debuted the world’s first hydrogen fuel-cell passenger train back in 2016, which went into service in Germany last year. Now the Coradia iLint is rolling down the track in North America for the first time.Continue … Continue reading Hydrogen-powered passenger train rides the rails in North America
Airbus is looking towards a greener aviation future, revealing major projects to build hydrogen jet airliners with not only a complete hydrogen-fueled propulsion system, but also a hydrogen Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to generate electricity onboard.Con… Continue reading Airbus pursues new technology for 100% hydrogen-powered airliner
