Consider, for a moment, the simple hydrogen atom. It is the most abundant atom in the universe. It is contained in every living organism and in virtually everything we touch. It’s in our bodies, in wood, in plastic, and in water. But rarely is hydrogen found isolated in nature. And there’s the rub for researchers seeking a way to produce hydrogen fuel for mass consumption. Considered by many the “holy grail” of (more…)

Extensive R&D effort is focusing on use of hydrogen fuel cells as power units for motor vehicles and for energy generation. Their attractions include high efficiency, low noise and vibration, and the absence of environment-polluting emissions. For automotive applications, however, problems with on-board gas storage create one of the major barriers to widespread commercialisation. As Dr Michael Hirscher, of the Max (more…)

Although technology of renewable energy utilization, such as solar and wind energy, has been researched a lot, but instability of the sources lead to simultaneous operation of backup power systems. Fuel cells, run by HHO fuel, are radically replacing traditional backup power concept. The idea is to utilize surplus of the renewable energy sources and produce HHO fuel by electrolyzing water. Efficiency and security (more…)

The Technology H2POD is a proprietary patented device, developed by the National Research Council’s Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation (NRC-IFCI). It is a unique switch- controlled hydrogen generator that produces high purity hydrogen to match the quality and flow requirements of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC). H2POD is totally safe as hydrogen is produced only when the on-off switch is turned (more…)

Scarcely a day goes by that we don’t hear some mention of fuel cells or the new “hydrogen economy.” The environmen-tal advantages of a hydrogen economy are so promising that the push toward hydrogen is strong. In the coming decades, the United States will need new energy supplies and a better energy infrastructure to meet growing demands for electric power and transportation fuel. Hydrogen and fuel cells offer one of the most promising paths toward meeting those goals. (more…)

Angstrom Technology Angstrom has amassed a substantial portfolio of technical and business model patentsrelated to Micro Hydrogen™ systems. Angstrom’s novel architecture is well suited for volume manufacture and our fuel cells can be designed to almost any shape or size. Thekey to Angstrom’s fuel cell technology is the ability to pack a large amount of surfacearea into a small volume using a proprietary micro-structured topology. This enableshigh power and long run-times within a very small (more…)
