News Site and RSS Feed on Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Economy

 

We're just getting going with a new Web site that concentrates on daily
news postings about fuel cells and the hydrogen economy.

Some of it is a little clumsy yet, but we're working hard to make it
better.

You're welcome to drop by and have a peek. You might be particularly
interested in the news RSS feed.

Typically, we post to the site 5 or 6 times a day.

It's at:

Very good site, have bookmarked it.

About 20 or more years ago, NOVA did a program called "The Hydrogen
Economy" which I taped and have mislaid.  In that program they showed
that Japanese researchers had develeped a very low cost method of
extracting hydrogen from water.  They used superheated steam which was
a byproduct of another process, and passed the steam through a small
cell with a quartz or other high temperature window, and focused a
huge solar mirror on this window.  Inside this small cell was a
proprietary catalyst that would directly split the water molecule into
it's two components.   The same program showed public busses being run
on the large cylinders of hydrogen which contained a nickel compound
that would absorb huge amounts of hydrogen and give it up when heated
slightly.

Anyone know what happened to this then breakthrough technology?   I'm
going to try to find that tape.
