Bertrand Piccard’s Big Hydrogen Adventure

Cars That Think

Now hes in the midst of what looks like his most technologically ambitious mission yet: to fly around the planet in a green-hydrogen fuel-cell aircraft. It enabled him and a colleague to be the first people hoisted into the stratosphere, by a hydrogen balloon, in 1931. And the big part of the propulsion system is the hydrogen tank.

Revealed: General Motors battery guru explains why lithium – not hydrogen – is central to our EV future

EV Central

GM’s top EV battery guru, Andy Oury, believes we could switch to a hydrogen-based economy in the future, if we could build enough renewable energy to run it. That’s because – as Oury is at pains to point out – the lithium that currently powers electric vehicles, and other batteries, is almost as abundant as hydrogen anyway.

Could This Fuel Cell Tech Help Scale Green Hydrogen?

Cars That Think

Researchers who are developing electrolyzers for hydrogen production are increasingly turning to a membrane platform originally used in fuel cells to scale up their technology. In a hydrogen fuel cell, the membrane helps facilitate the chemical reactions needed to generate electricity. Ecolectro Why Choose AEM for Green Hydrogen?

The Tiny Star Explosions Powering Moore’s Law

Cars That Think

To produce EUV light, we would focus an intense laser pulse onto 30-micrometer-wide droplets of tin flying through a chamber filled with low-density hydrogen. As a by-product, the plasma balls generated shock waves that traveled through the surrounding hydrogen. Interstellar material consists mostly of hydrogen.)

Wärtsilä gas engines to burn 100% hydrogen

Green Car Congress

The technology group Wärtsilä is developing the combustion process in its gas engines to enable them to burn 100% hydrogen fuel. Wärtsilä has researched hydrogen as a fuel for 20 years, and has tested its engines with blends of up to 60% hydrogen and 40% natural gas.
