You
need technical assistance - fast if you are going to continue to write about
hydrogen.
I am
not going to go into a whole lot of detail because you probably wouldn't believe
me anyhow. There is an article in the Proceedings of the IEEE concerning the
Hydrogen economy that you need to read. I was written by a Swiss scientist. I
am on the road and don't have access right now, so you will have to look it up
yourself. It is from an edition focusing on the "Hydrogen
Economy".
The
Hydrogen Economy is INCREDIBLY inefficient compared to the Electron Economy.
Chasing after the Hydrogen economy is a big loser. The article that I reference
goes through the numbers in detail to explain what it costs to get from
electrical energy sources to Hydrogen and how much energy you can get to the
wheels of a car - about 22%. Do the math. The average citizen can not afford
it.
It is
time for some facts to enter the consciousness of the average citizen instead of
this hydrogen economy snake oil.
One
interesting example is providing hydrogen for airplanes. An airport such as
Dallas-Ft. Worth would require the entire supply of fresh water for the two
cities just to generate the hydrogen for the airplanes taking off from this one
airport. Of course, alternatively, the hydrogen could be produced from natural
gas, but what then is the point, just use fossil fuels

By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
