Collaborate Disseminate
Swiss/Swedish manufacturing and automation behemoth ABB is teaming up with Hydrogène de France (HDF) with the intention of developing large-scale hydrogen fuel cell systems capable of powering zero-emissions electric container ships.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading ABB plans “megawatt-scale” hydrogen powertrains for container ships
It appears clear at this stage that while most of the developed world is moving toward battery-electric vehicles, Japan and South Korea are pushing hard for hydrogen, which will allow them to import energy from around the world in a green delivery form… Continue reading BMW hops on Toyota’s hydrogen bandwagon with fuel cell powertrain
Last year, Toyota teamed up with Kenworth Truck company to build a bunch of fuel cell tractors to haul goods around Los Angeles. Now the company is cementing its commitment to fuel cell powertrains with an agreement to jointly develop a heavy-duty fuel… Continue reading Toyota and Hino working on heavy-duty fuel-cell truck
A year after showing off a purple haze of a concept car at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, Gumpert Aiways has launched the first edition of its production Nathalie supercar. Instead of a run-of-the-mill electric or plug-in hybrid drive, the Nathalie relies… Continue reading Gumpert unleashes world-first methanol fuel cell electric supercar
In every comment section, there’s always one. No matter the electric vehicle, no matter how far the technology has come, there’s always one.
“Only 500 miles of range? Electric cars are useless! Me, and everyone I know, drives 502 miles every day at a minimum! Having to spend more than
It was six years ago that we heard about the world’s first production fuel cell e-bike, known as the Alter Bike. Now, France’s Pragma Industries has announced a 50-percent increase in the vehicle’s range.

After Hyundai nominated its Nexo Fuel Cell SUV for early crash testing, it’s become the first production hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (HFCV) ever tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the United States. The crash testin… Continue reading Hyundai Nexo becomes first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle crash tested by the IIHS
Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Mike Szczys gather round the microphone to spin tales from a week of hacks. All the rage are fax-machine-based malware, a hydrogen fuel cell drone, and bringing color to the monochrome world of the original Super Mario Land. There are at least three really cool …read more
When we think about hydrogen and flying machines, it’s quite common to imagine Zeppelins, weather balloons and similar uses of hydrogen in lighter-than-air craft to lift stuff of the ground. But with smaller and more efficient fuel cells, hydrogen is gaining its place in the drone field. Project RACHEL is …read more
Battery cells work by chemical reactions, and the fascinating Hybrid Microbial Fuel Cell design by [Josh Starnes] is no different. True, batteries don’t normally contain life, but the process coughs up useful electrons all the same; 1.7 V per cell in [Josh]’s design, to be precise. His proof of concept consists of eight cells in parallel, enough to give his cell phone a charge via a DC-DC boost converter. He says it’s not known how long this can be expected to last before the voltage drops to an unusable level, but it works!
There are two complementary sides to …read more
