hydrogen oxygen fuel cell membrane

Fuel-cell cars are reaching commercial viability in today’s increasingly eco-conscious society, but despite their promise, even scientists have struggled to explain just how the fuel-cell’s central component – the proton exchange membrane – really works. However, a team of researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory has offered a new model that provides the [...]

Fuel-Cell Cars: The Wave of the Future?

Andrew Beckers asked: Hydrogen fuel cell cars are expensive and impractical. So why would we even consider them? With gasoline prices well over $4 per gallon and reduction of CO2 emissions a priority, all alternative fuels and future car technologies are getting a closer scrutiny these days. Not only that, if a proper infrastructure was [...]

Is it Possible to Run Your Car on Water?

Crispin Camelo asked: the talk on the internet and the press about hydrogen fuel-cell cars that essentially run on water, one cannot help but to take a closer look. The sobering truth after taking a closer look, however, is that the technology that runs a car 100% on water is not yet ready for prime [...]
