The cost of making a hydrogen fuel cell-powered car has fallen so dramatically that the same vehicle that cost about $1 million in past year can now be made for as little as $50,000 when it goes on sale in the U.S. in 2015, a top Toyota engineer says.

Fuel cells have been in use for decades, but they are generally more expensive than grid power, even in the developed world. And despite many attempts, portable fuel cells have yet to catch on. (See, Lilliputian Fuel Cell Gadget Charger Ready to Grow …

What’s all this fuss about silly federal research projects? If one day in the not too distant future you can go to the dollar store, buy a thin, flat device the size of a playing card, dunk it in a quart of dirty bath water and use it to generate about …

The addition of extremely small crystals to solid electrolyte material has the potential to considerably raise the efficiency of fuel cells. Researchers at TU Delft were the first to document this accurately, and this week their second article on the subject in a very short time was published in the scientific journal, Advanced Functional Materials. [...]

Tomorrow’s fuel-cell vehicles may be powered by enzymes that consume cellulose from woodchips or grass and exhale hydrogen. Researchers at Virginia Tech, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the University of Georgia have produced hydrogen gas pure enough to power a fuel cell by mixing 14 enzymes, one coenzyme, cellulosic materials from nonfood sources, and [...]

The generation of electricity and heat with no pollution and with considerably less emission of the greenhouse gas CO2 sounds too good to be true. However, it is possible with the so-called SOFC fuel cells, which Risø has been conducting research into for over 20 years. The technology is now on its way to reach [...]

Fuel cells could create a breakthrough for electric cars, because refuelling them is fast and easy, just like your traditional gas guzzler. But there’s an obstacle. Current fuel cells need platinum in order to work. And that’s expensive. Now chemists from Copenhagen, Potsdam and Hanau have taken the first step towards producing fuel cells using [...]

Have a read of the article below on Nano Batteries… we are sure you will find it crosses all the ‘t’s’ and dots all the ‘i’s’. On our site we strive to provide the most up-to-date information. Remember that you read it here first, and please tell your friends. Batteries Smaller Than a Grain of [...]

Fuel cells are quite a popular topic at the moment, and you will find some interesting information on fuel cells in the article below. This should help introduce you to the topic and hopefully you will find the article relevant, and may even possibly share it with others. Don’t forget to let us know what [...]

The world in its run for progress and mechanization has almost exhausted all non-renewable energy sources that Mother Earth had provided. Global warming, depleted water sources and increased pollution have paused serious threat to the well-being of mankind. We are now looking desperately for renewable energy sources and alternate fuel. In our tryst the latest [...]

Power Supplies can be divided into two types for electronic devices, linear and switching power supplies. A switching mode power supply has the same rating as a Linear Power Supply but will be a lot more complex and usually Switching Mode Power Supplies are smaller. A Linear Power Supply is used for high current devices. [...]
