Hydrogen-powered

A Duke University study suggests that serpentinized rocks underneath the ocean floor may hold the key to finding an abundant and free hydrogen resource.

A new emissions-free device created by scientists at Stanford University uses an ordinary 1.5-volt battery to split water into hydrogen and oxygen at room temperature, potentially providing a low-cost method to power fuel cells in zero-emissions vehicles and buildings.

Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies has announced the availability of its new hydrogen-powered remote-control toy car, the i-H2GO.

A Swiss trial of a hydrogen-powered street sweeper has shown that, while such vehicles are technically feasible now, the prices of fuel cells, pressurized storage tanks and electric drives must all drop significantly before they are cost-effective.

Spanish researchers have created the dAlh2Orean, a radio-controlled model car that creates hydrogen fuel from soda can pull rings and other waste aluminum.

A five year Shell Eco Marathon fuel efficiency record has been smashed by a team of French students.

Scientists in Atlanta, Georgia, have developed the most potent homogeneous catalyst known for water oxidation, which they hope will lead to producing hydrogen fuel using only water and sunlight.
