Hydrogen fuel-cell ebikes can be ‘recharged’ in seconds

While most ebikes on the road today will come with a battery pack, some are riding down the hydrogen fuel-cell cycle path. HydroRide not only has fuel-cell ebikes available, but also a compact refill station to top up H2 canisters.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Hydrogen fuel-cell ebikes can be ‘recharged’ in seconds

Energy-efficient underwater robot rises and falls via fuel-cell balloons

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….

“Dirt-powered fuel cell” draws near-limitless energy from soil

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 EV team takes its open-source hydrogen motorcycle to the track

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

GM to fit monster e-drive mining truck with hydrogen power cubes

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

BMW’s hydrogen-powered iX5 SUV survives brutal desert heat

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
