Fraunhofer researchers have presented a magnesium-based “Powerpaste” that stores hydrogen energy at 10 times the density of a lithium battery, offering hydrogen fuel cell vehicles the ability to travel further than gasoline-powered ones, and refuel in … Continue reading Powerpaste packs clean hydrogen energy in a safe, convenient gray goop
With the move towards electric aviation comes new opportunities to explore what a powertrain looks like, and Airbus is experimenting with a new design that builds entire hydrogen propulsion units, tanks and all, into detachable pods along the wings.Con… Continue reading Airbus proposes detachable hydrogen propulsion pods for aircraft
Spanish company Quaternium has destroyed its own record for gasoline-electric drone endurance with a 10-hour, 14-minute flight. But how does that stack up against hydrogen and batteries, and what are the implications for the emerging eVTOL market?Conti… Continue reading World record drone flights: Hydrogen vs battery vs gasoline-electric
VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) drones are quite versatile, as they combine the vertical flight of a helicopter with the fast and efficient forward flight of a fixed-wing airplane. This one features an extended range, thanks to a fuel cell power s… Continue reading Hydrogen-powered VTOL drone flies for 3.5 hours
ZeroAvia says it has completed the world’s first hydrogen fuel-cell-powered flight of a commercial-grade aircraft. On September 23, 2020, a modified Piper M-class six-seater plane, which ZeroAvia says is now the largest hydrogen-powered aircraft in the… Continue reading World’s largest hydrogen-powered plane makes maiden flight
Hydrogen is well and truly on the rise as the zero-emissions aviation fuel of the future, with Airbus announcing its ZeroE initiative to get hydrogen airliners into production by 2035. But that’s a long way off, and innovators are pushing to get H2 air… Continue reading Universal Hydrogen and Magnix building world’s largest hydrogen plane
Nemesis Yachts, a shadowy entity claiming offices in Dubai and Hong Kong, has put forward its vision for a super-fast, hydrogen-powered, autonomous luxury catamaran that can rise out of the water on hydrofoils to achieve crazy speeds in excess of 50 kn… Continue reading Nemesis proposes world’s first high-speed, luxury multihull hydrofoil
California-based company Hyperion has released images, video and some details about its wild-looking XP-1 hydrogen supercar, the first fuel cell performance car. Forget the Lucid Air’s 517-mile range, this electric beast will go more than a thousand mi… Continue reading The Hyperion XP-1: A hydrogen hypercar with articulating solar panels
East Coast aviation company Alakai made big headlines last year when it became the first eVTOL air taxi company to put hydrogen on the table as a way to get around the battery bottleneck that’s holding so many competitors down to short flight times wit… Continue reading Skai revises targets for its liquid-hydrogen, long-range eVTOL
The first 10 units of Hyundai’s hydrogen-powered Xcient Fuel Cell – the world’s first heavy duty fuel-cell-powered truck – have rolled off the production line and are on their way to Switzerland, with 40 more to follow later this year.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Hyundai’s first 10 Xcient Fuel Cell trucks are headed for Switzerland
