• Australian-Israeli startup creates water-based fuel for electric vehicles

    Claim: A cheaper way of making fuel available for hydrogen powered vehicles.(Thanks to crawdiddle for bringing this to our attention)Electriq-Global
    Key Points- PE:
    Components: (1) Fuel (2) Hydrogen extraction from the fuel (3) Recycling the fuel.
    Fuel: The open source formula is 60% water. Also includes a chemical called BH4 or Tetrahydrobiopterin. This water-based liquid fuel is stable at ambient temperatures and pressures.
    Hydrogen extraction on demand: Using a metal layer (catalyze
  • Finally, a robust fuel cell that runs on methane at practical temperatures

    …convert[s] methane to hydrogen in the fuel cell itself via the new catalyst, which is made with cerium, nickel and ruthenium… would run off of natural gas to power your house… about the size of a shoebox, plus ancillary technology…Practical and affordable to run: The new fuel cell in the lab of Meilin Liu at Georgia Tech.

    Fuel cells have not been particularly known for their practicality and affordability, but that m
