Researchers Report Significant Improvement In Fuel Cell Technology
A team at Washington University reports progress on liquid fueled fuel cells that produce twice the voltage of hydrogen fuel cells.
Fuel Cell Engineer Develops Fix For Hundreds of Ventilators
Last week, California finally received a shipment of life-saving ventilators that the state desperately needed to help in the fight against COVID-19. When the boxes arrived, however, hopes were quickly dashed, as 170 of the ventilators were broken and useless. At least, they were until fuel cell engineer Joe Tavi got a hold of them.
FlixBus Plans Hydrogen Fuel Cell Test Fleet Of Electric Buses For Clean Long Distance Travel
Flixbus says it has already begun talks with bus manufacturers about the introduction of hydrogen models. Its first electric buses were manufactured by BYD and Yutong, but the company wants to provide an opportunity to all European bus manufacturers to participate in hydrogen fuel cell bus development.
Nikola Motors Buys 400 Acres In Arizona For New Manufacturing Facility
Nikola Motors has big plans to disrupt the heavy trucking industry with a lineup of 3 hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric class 8 trucks. Its second vehicle, the Nikola Two hydrogen fuel cell truck, will debut at Nikola World next month. Just ahead of the big reveal, the company announced that it has purchased 400 acres of land in Arizona for its manufacturing facility in a deal with Arizona real estate developer Saint Holdings.
Another Fuel Cell Breakthrough, But With A Twist
Researchers at Washington University have created a new fuel cell technology that creates double the voltage of a conventional fuel cell. The breakthrough could lead to longer range electric airplanes, among other advances in transportation.
12 Space Innovations That Became Everyday Wonders
The obsession with space has driven innovation and not only extended the capabilities of technology, but delivered remarkable breakthroughs and created new materials and products. Solar panels, for example, were the powering force behind InSight, the robotic probe launched six months ago by NASA that landed on Mars’s surface on the 26th of November.
Fuel Cell Powered Supercar, Or Just A Supercar With Fuel Cell Range Extender?
First things first: This is not a methanol fuel cell powered car. This is a battery electric vehicle with a methanol fuel cell range extender.
Viessmann’s New Vitovalor PT2 Fuel Cell Reduces Energy Costs & Emissions
Germany-based international heating manufacturer Viessmann has unveiled its new fuel cell, and it’s a marked improvement on all fronts. Both heat and electricity are generated with the Vitovalor PT2, and the advanced technology employed will yield up to a 40% reduction in energy costs with the effect of reducing emissions.
Reinventing The Wheel, Resurrecting Faraday Future, & Japan’s H2 Play (Cleantech Talk #49)
Episode #49 of Cleantech Talk is here! In this episode, we talk about reinventing the wheel, a Faraday Future maybe-resurrection, and Japan’s logical hots for hydrogen.
