The pioneer has a top speed of 200 kmphMatt Ben Stone The Pioneer 25 represents a significant milestone in motorsports, having passed the required FIA crash tests. Designed specifically for Extreme H, the first hydrogen-powered motorsport, the car reaches speeds of up to 200 km/h (124 mph). Over the years, several functional hydrogen rally and race...
MIT researchers Aly Kombargi (left) and Niko Tsakiris (right) with their new hydrogen reactorTony Pulsone MIT scientists have found an intriguing new method to produce hydrogen fuel using soda cans, seawater, and coffee grounds. They believe this chemical reaction could power engines or fuel cells in marine vehicles that use seawater. Hydrogen plays a crucial role...
Credit: Depositphotos Hydrogen holds potential as a potent, eco-friendly fuel source, provided its production process is also environmentally sustainable. A recent report highlights the challenges in achieving genuinely green hydrogen, while a new study overcomes a hurdle in its production. According to a study released today in the journal Nature Energy, authored by Kiane de Kleijne...
Enlarge / "It got more attention than last year, and the development feels steadier, faster, and safer," said Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda when asked how the hydrogen-powered Corolla had improved from 2023. A couple of weekends ago, while most motorsport fans were focused on Monaco and Indianapolis, Toyota President Akio "Morizo" Toyoda participated in the Super Taikyu...
Hysata guarantees the world's most affordable hydrogen with a groundbreaking device that splits water into H2 and O2 at 95% efficiency, which is about 20% more efficient than the top conventional electrolyzers. The company has secured US$111 million to expand production. Hydrogen production typically wastes 20-30% of renewable energy, contributing to high costs. Australian company...
The prototype is scheduled for testing later this year. Credit: Yamaha/Roush Yamaha Motor, a prominent manufacturing giant, has unveiled what they assert is a groundbreaking world-first prototype: a hydrogen-powered outboard motor designed to propel motorboats. Commitment to Carbon Neutrality Displayed at the 2024 Miami Boat Show, this hydrogen-powered engine is the outcome of a collaboration between Yamaha...
https://scx1.b-cdn.net/csz/news/800a/2023/mercedes-benz-trucks-e.jpg While hydrogen-fueled large trucks were initially envisioned as the future of environmentally friendly road transport, they might soon find themselves confined to niche markets in Europe, overshadowed by electric trucks. In the outskirts of Trondheim, western Norway, food wholesaler Asko has been conducting trials since 2020 with four hydrogen fuel cell trucks provided by Swedish...
After verifying output simulations over 200 hp-per-liter, AVL will next install the H2 engine into a car for track testingAVL Earlier this month, the Austrian mobility technology firm AVL had reason to celebrate as it verified simulations demonstrating its prototype 2.0-liter turbo hydrogen race engine achieving over 200 horsepower per liter. AVL employs a water-injection...
Despite sharing the same charge, which traditionally leads to repulsion, scientists from Kiel and Dresden have observed a peculiar behavior in hydrogen. Under specific circumstances, electrons in hydrogen form pairs, a phenomenon notably visible when subjected to X-ray irradiation. Credit: Jan Vorberger. Hydrogen, the fundamental element that shapes the cosmos, stars, and planets while also...
Credit: Unsplash. A recent study conducted by the University of Southampton examined public attitudes towards alternative fuels for decarbonizing global shipping. The findings revealed that the general public supports the use of hydrogen and biofuels in this industry. Nuclear power was seen as a preferable alternative to heavy fuel oil (HFO), but the public perceived it as...
