A Low Cost Fuel Cell Catalyst Design
April 27, 2011 | 1 Comment
Maybe this is it, or so close that fuel cells might get some market traction at consumer prices. In a paper published Friday April 22, 2011 in Science, Los Alamos researchers describe the use of a platinum-free catalyst in the cathode of a hydrogen fuel cell. Eliminating platinum the precious metal more expensive than gold, […]

Spark That Engine With A Laser
April 26, 2011 | 7 Comments
After more than 150 years engine manufacturers are one step closer to being able to replace spark plugs in internal combustion engines with laser igniters. Laser igniters are reputed to enable cleaner, more efficient, and more economical vehicles. So far lasers strong enough to ignite an engine’s air-fuel mixtures were too large to fit under […]

A New Idea On Getting the Energy From Oil Shale
April 25, 2011 | 2 Comments
A team at Stanford University is proposing using solid oxide fuel cells as the basis for a method for electricity production from oil shale with in situ carbon capture called “electricity production with in situ carbon capture” (EPICC) as a means to provide transportation services from oil shale with greatly reduced CO2 emissions. If such […]
