(Here is the plan for U.S. Congress to launch the hydrogen car revolution. Please tell your members of Congress to support it.) I posted the Toyota, Honda, GM, and Mercedes (Daimler) Congressional briefing presentations on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles a day after they were given on June 12th. I wanted to let everybody know that videos of all of the presentations (including one from Air Products which is a hydrogen infrastructure company) can now be seen at Atwarwiththedinosaurs.com . I

BNSF Hydrogen Train Rolls out in Topeka, Kansas
Back in January 2008, I had talked about BNSF (Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation), Vehicle Projects and the U. S. Army working on a hydrogen fuel cell powered train that would be rolling out soon. Well that day has come at the Topeka, Kansas System Maintenance Terminal. The world’s first fully operational fuel cell switcher train was introduced by Senator Sam Brownback, Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins and other players interested in alternative fuels and air quality. This hydrogen train ca

Platinum use in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles has decreased a lot and will get down to the same level as vehicles on the road today
(Here is the plan for U.S. Congress to launch the hydrogen car revolution. Please tell your members of Congress to support it.) A common criticism of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is the amount of expensive platinum that is needed in fuel cells. However, platinum use in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles has already decreased a lot and will get down to the same level as vehicles on the road today.  Moreover, a lot of work is being done on platinum-free fuel cells. Platinum is used in catalytic co

Automobile Magazine Drives a Jet-Powered F-150
We’ve driven all kinds of pickups: Gasoline, diesel, natural gas, propane, hybrid gas-electric, electric-only and hydrogen fuel cell, but we’ve never steered a jet-propelled pickup truck like the Ford F-150 that our friends at Automobile Magazine recently tested. Truck and jet engine enthusiast Chris Lentz paid $12,000 for his 2005 Ford F-150 STX and another $10,000 for a Czechoslovakian-built M-701 turbojet to mount in the cargo box. The turbine powerplant weighs 728-pounds and produces 19

First radio public service announcement from Americans For A Hydrogen Economy
(Here is the plan for U.S. Congress to launch the hydrogen car revolution. Please tell your members of Congress to support it.) Here is the first radio public service announcement (PSA) from Americans For A Hydrogen Economy.  I was happy to help out by writing the copy for this one. Thanks a bunch to Scott Goldbach for putting this together and promoting hydrogen fuel cell cars so well! Posted in Hydrogen, Hydrogen public service announcements

Interview with Project Driveway participant Stephanie White who is currently driving the Chevy Equinox hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in Los Angeles
(Here is the plan for U.S. Congress to launch the hydrogen car revolution. Please tell your members of Congress to support it.) I was very fortunate to interview Stephanie White who is one of the GM Project Driveway participants in Los Angeles.  She currently is driving one of the Chevy Equinox hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.  Very exciting! I think you will find all of the information that Stephanie provides to be extremely interesting.  She did such a fantastic job of describing what it i

Hydrogen Fuel Tanks Made from Chicken Feathers
Clean Technica publishes a fascinating article about scientists discovery of “a remarkable, unexpected and cheap way to store hydrogen fuel–using carbonized chicken feather fibers.” It is eco-friendly. There are always billions of feathers and no use for them, and this way it is recycled for fuel. Read more here .
