[ad_1] In a statement, Hyperion CEO Angelo Kafantaris said “This is only the beginning of what can be achieved with hydrogen as an energy storage medium. The potential of this fuel is limitless and will revolutionize the energy sector.” Hyperion There’s a 98-inch curved screen inside, V-Wing doors, and did we mention the promised 1,000+ […]

Microsoft used hydrogen fuel cells to power a data center for two days straight
[ad_1] The idea to explore hydrogen fuel cells originated in 2018, when researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, CO used a proton exchange membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cell to power a rack of computers. Mark Monroe, a principal infrastructure engineer on Microsoft’s team for datacenter advanced development, said his team watched a […]
Hyperion’s hydrogen-powered supercar launches in August
[ad_1] Hyperion Motors has been working on a supercar project for years, and according to a teaser video, we’ll meet the hydrogen-powered XP-1 next month. In January, Autoblog noted that the company would show off its vehicle at the New York Auto Show, but with the event canceled it has changed to a digital unveiling. […]
Nikola Motors unveils hybrid fuel-cell concept truck with 600-mile range
[ad_1] Nikola plans to offer the Badger as both a purely battery-electric vehicle and as an electric/fuel-cell hybrid. The company claims the hybrid powertrain model will feature a maximum range of approximately 600 miles, while the battery model will be limited to 300 miles. It also claims the pickup will be able to tow up […]
Bill Gates is the first to buy a hydrogen-powered ‘superyacht’
[ad_1] Sinot even uses gel-based fire bowls to keep passengers warm outside instead of burning coal or wood. It won’t be a fast mover with a 17-knot top speed (19.6MPH), but its 3,750-mile range should be enough for cross-ocean travel. The vessel isn’t completely eco-friendly, though. As dockside hydrogen filling stations are more than a […]
Toyota’s hydrogen fuel-cell Mirai gets a new, luxurious look
[ad_1] The car looks amazing and the automaker is targeting a 30% increase in range thanks to advances in the powertrain and larger capacity hydrogen storage tanks. Toyota just hopes that it’ll be able to sell this car in more places than the current locals of California and the island of Oahu (those are the […]
Researchers may have found a better way to make hydrogen for cars
[ad_1] Researchers there have created a way to produce hydrogen on demand using water, carbon dioxide and cobalt. Theoretically, that would go directly into a fuel cell, where it would mix with oxygen to generate electricity and water. The electricity would then power the EV’s motor, rechargeable battery and headlights. According to UMass Lowell, the […]
Scientists can turn regular seawater into hydrogen fuel
[ad_1] Unfortunately, purified water is in itself a scarce resource. Which is why Stanford chemistry professor Hongjie Dai and her team sought out to discover a way to keep salt water from breaking down devices used for water-splitting. “We barely have enough water for our current needs in California,” said Dai in a press release.
