DLR-led NEMESIS 2+ project develops compact direct steam reformer for diesel/biodiesel to H2

Green Car Congress

The NEMESIS2+ hydrogen generation system consists of a desulfurization module for liquid feedstock (diesel/biodiesel) followed by a reformer module, where catalytic conversion is accomplished by steam reforming with subsequent water-gas-shift reaction. A pressure swing adsorption unit (PSA) is used for hydrogen purification. Source: DLR.

Thermal Solar Goes Where PVs Can’t

Cars That Think

Leading the boom is the photovoltaic (PV) panel, which converts sunlight into electricity using semiconductors. As electric utilities and policymakers seek solutions for storing and dispatching energy on demand, concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) is once again gaining traction. The closed-loop system has a record 17.5-hour

New ceramic membrane generates compressed H2 from methane and electricity with near-zero energy loss

Green Car Congress

A team of scientists from CoorsTek Membrane Sciences, the University of Oslo (Norway) and the Instituto de Tecnología Química (Spain) have successfully completed laboratory testing of a ceramic membrane that generates compressed hydrogen from natural gas and electricity in a one-step process with near-zero energy loss.

The Plan to Give the Moon Decent Wireless Coverage

Cars That Think

This facility, known as the Lunar Gateway , would store supplies, host visiting astronauts, and facilitate communication between the moon and Earth. For longer crewed missions, the water that humans require would likely be easier to harvest from the moon rather than to haul it from Earth.

Video Friday: Autonomous Car Drifting, Aerial-Aquatic Drone, and Jet-Powered Robot

Cars That Think

We propose a prototype with special designs for propulsion and thruster configuration to cope with the vast differences in the fluid properties of water and air. Our system converts raster or vector images into piecewise-continuous paths depending on stylistic choices, such as TSP art or stroke-based drawing. Arrue, and A.
