The method makes it unnecessary to store or transport hydrogen - two major challenges in creating a hydrogen economy, said Jerry Woodall, a distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue who invented the process. The technology could be used to drive small internal combustion engines in various applications, including portable emergency generators, lawn mowers and chain saws. The process could, in theory, also be used to replace gasoline for cars and trucks, he said. "The method makes it unnecessary to store or transport hydrogen..." This is the type of 'fuel-cell' that I see being a usable and more
'green' way of becoming less oil dependent. Aluminum-based pellets make hydrogen when wet, offering alternative fuel source. |
