 | Truly Amazing Advanced Solar Cell from Israel http://www.homemadepowerplant.com/?hop=adonpub Professor David Faiman, Head of the Ben-Gurion National Solar Energy Research Center and developer of a new solar cell that can produce over one thousand times more electric power than a conventional photovoltaic or PV, states, 'The achievement is that we separate out the collection function of a photovoltaic cell to the light conversion to electricity function. When we collect the light, instead of using a huge area of solar cells, we use an equal area of cheap glass mirrors and they are curved in such a way as to concentrate the light onto a very small solar cell, the size of just one cell, and in this way you concentrate the light a thousand times and you can get a thousand times more power out of a small cell.' This is truly an amazing development with several practical applications. |

 | Story of Boeing's Hydrogen Fuel Cell Aircraft By Glenn Pew for AVweb.com Boeing has flown a manned aircraft on hydrogen fuel cell power. The full text of Boeing's release follows: MADRID, Spain, April 03, 2008 -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] announced today that it has, for the first time in aviation history, flown a manned airplane powered by hydrogen fuel cells. The recent milestone is the work of an engineering team at Boeing Research & Technology Europe (BR&TE) in Madrid, with assistance from industry partners in Austria, France, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. "Boeing is actively working to develop new technologies for environmentally progressive aerospace products," said Francisco Escarti, BR&TE's managing director. "We are proud of our pioneering work during the past five years on the Fuel Cell Demonstrator Airplane project. It is a tangible example of how we are exploring future leaps in environmental performance, as well as a credit to the talents and innovative spirit of our team." A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts hydrogen directly into electricity and heat with none of the products of combustion such as carbon dioxide. Other than heat, water is its only exhaust. A two-seat Dimona motor-glider with a 16.3 meter (53.5 foot) wingspan was used as the airframe. Built by Diamond Aircraft Industries of Austria, it was modified by BR&TE to include a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell/lithium-ion battery hybrid system to power an electric motor coupled to a conventional propeller. Three test flights took place in February and March at the airfield in Ocaña, south of Madrid, operated by the Spanish company SENASA. During the flights, the pilot of the experimental airplane climbed to an altitude of 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) above sea level using a combination of battery power and power generated by hydrogen fuel cells. Then, after reaching the cruise altitude and disconnecting the batteries, the pilot flew straight and level at a cruising speed of 100 kilometers per hour (62 miles per hour) for approximately 20 minutes on power solely generated by the fuel cells. According to Boeing researchers, PEM fuel cell technology potentially could power small manned and unmanned air vehicles. Over the longer term, solid oxide fuel cells could be applied to secondary power-generating systems, such as auxiliary power units for large commercial airplanes. Boeing does not envision that fuel cells will ever provide primary power for large passenger airplanes, but the company will continue to investigate their potential, as well as other sustainable alternative fuel and energy sources that improve environmental performance. BR&TE, part of the Boeing Phantom Works advanced R&D unit, has worked closely with Boeing Commercial Airplanes and a network of partners since 2003 to design, assemble and fly the experimental craft. The group of companies, universities and institutions participating in this project includes: Austria -- Diamond Aircraft Industries France -- SAFT France Germany -- Gore and MT Propeller Spain -- Adventia, Aerlyper, Air Liquide Spain, Indra, Ingeniería de Instrumentación y Control (IIC), Inventia, SENASA, Swagelok, Técnicas Aeronauticas de Madrid (TAM), Tecnobit, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, and the Regional Government of Madrid United Kingdom -- Intelligent Energy United States -- UQM Technologies. |
 | Review: Amerityre flat-free (tubeless) tire technology I have one request, if you watch this video and decide to give it a low rating, please leave some kind of short explanation in the comments as to why you decided it deserved a low rating. Thanks! In this video I review a truly impressive product made by American company Amerityre, which specializes in advanced polyurethane elastomer technology and using it to make the best tires in the world. But before I say more.. Official site: http://www.amerityre.com/ Consumer Advantages: Runs cooler for longer life Lower rolling resistance gives improved fuel economy Single material pour reduces possibility of separation Potential lower price due to reduced manufacturing cost Manufacturing Advantages: Lower capital investment Less floor space required Lower energy cost Lower labor cost Less scrap and waste Technology Summary: High abrasion resistance = longer life Lower rolling resistance = improved fuel economy No oils or plasticizers = environmentally friendly Better elastic properties = reduced operating temperatures True closed cell technology = no water absorption High density material = excellent load carrying capability UV and ozone resistant = will not break down Thousands of people are killed or critically injured every year in the US because of rubber tire blowouts. Millions more are inconvenienced by flat tires. Think of all that time and energy wasted because of this clearly dysfunctional technology. Entire industries exist simply to service and repair punctured tires. Meanwhile all those ruined tires pile up in landfills, waterways, burn piles and wherever else people choose to dump them. But none of that has to be. The technology exists today to create superior tires. I know because I've been using them for almost three years now. Check out your options, don't settle for inferior technology when you have better alternatives that not only look and perform better, but could save your life. Vote with your money, it's the only language that big corporations like Michelin understand. |

 | Ford's Hydrogen-Powered, Plug-In Hybrid We took a spin yesterday in the Ford HySeries Edge, the world's first working plug-in, fuel-cell, hydrogen-powered car, which the Detroit automaker plans to show off as a concept at the New York auto show tomorrow. Though wafting zero-emissions exhaust in our face taught us plenty as to the realities of a hydrogen-powered automotive experience, what really made our test special was actually being able to drive a car running on advanced hydrogen fuel-cell technology that can power itself with a 336-volt battery pack.

 | Ford Unveils World's First Drivable Fuel Cell Hybrid Electri Ford Motor Company unveiled the world's first drivable fuel cell hybrid electric plug-in that combines an onboard hydrogen fuel cell generator with lithium-ion batteries to deliver more than 41 mpg with zero emissions. The unveiling happened at the Washington, D.C. Auto Show on January 23, 2007. The vehicle is built on a flexible powertrain architecture that will enable Ford to use new fuel and propulsion technologies as they develop without redesigning the vehicle. This concept vehicle offers Ford the ultimate in flexibility in researching advanced propulsion technology. Ford can take the fuel cell power system out and replace it with a down-sized diesel, gasoline engine or any other powertrain connected to a small electric generator to make electricity like the fuel cell does now. The plug-in hybrid is powered by a 336-volt lithium-ion battery pack at all times. The vehicle drives the first 25 miles each day on stored electricity alone, after which the fuel cell begins operating to keep the battery pack charged. This provides another 200 miles of range for a total of 225 miles with zero emissions. The Ford Edge with HySeries Drive can travel at speeds of up to 85 mph. An on-board charger (110/220 VAC) can refresh the battery pack when a standard home outlet is available, making the concept a true plug-in hybrid. Ford says this is the kind of technology that we need if America is to become energy independent. Research into hydrogen, including the Ford Edge with HySeries Drive, is part of Ford's overall effort to address the challenges of climate change and energy independence.
