Hydrogen combustion engines are inefficient, costly to maintain and worse for the environment than fuel cell or battery powertrains. But they’re also noisy and fun, so automakers are starting to pitch them as a greener option for die-hard motorheads.Co… Continue reading Could hydrogen engines keep the combustion party alive for revheads?
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
Trying to race 1,200 miles (1,931 km) of notoriously harsh, prickly desert is difficult in itself. Developing a first-of-its-kind zero-emissions fuel cell off-roader to complete the task is more difficult still. Skipping common compressed-gas hydrogen … Continue reading Cryogenic hydrogen SCG Boot off-roader aims to recast fuel cell tech
Australian company Hypersonix Launch Systems is not only looking to make the delivery of satellites into orbit cheaper and more accessible, but also greener. It is developing a reusable launch system powered by green hydrogen that would deliver small s… Continue reading Reusable scramjet launch system to pave way for hypersonic airliners
Even if you never want to generate hydrogen, [Maciej Nowak’s] video (embedded below) is interesting to watch because of the clever way the electrode is formed from stainless steel washers. …read more Continue reading Hydrogen Generation Made Easy
California startup H2 Clipper wants to bring back hydrogen-filled airships, claiming they can unlock completely green intercontinental cargo operations carrying 8-10 times the payload of any cargo plane over 6,000 miles, at a quarter of the price.Conti… Continue reading Could hydrogen airships return as fast, cheap, green cargo transports?
Long-haul aviation presents a tough challenge for decarbonization, but a group of 100 aerospace experts working on the UK government’s FlyZero project says 279-seat liquid hydrogen airliners will connect any two points on the globe with just one stop.C… Continue reading Squirrel-cheeked liquid H2 airliner will take you anywhere in two hops
As Toyota’s luxury arm, Lexus quietly has some of the best posh off-roaders on the market in the new Land Cruiser-based LX600 and the Land Cruiser Prado-based GX460. Still, it’s not the first automotive brand name that comes to mind when the topic of o… Continue reading Lexus revs up hydrogen engine in wicked ROV off-roader concept
As the world grapples with the issue of climate change, there’s a huge pressure to move transport away from carbon-based fuels across the board. Whether it’s turning to electric cars …read more Continue reading Motorsports Are Turning To Alternative Fuels
