Comments on: Hydrogen power on the go

Trulite develops a portable hydrogen-powered generator. It's not enough to power your house, but it can recharge power tools or run a laptop.

it's a start

as longs as they push their research further, depending on how sucessfully they market their product...

It's a Joke

It's more expensive, puts out less power, is an unproven technology and runs on something not at the local gas-station...

In other words it is a joke and will never be profitable...

Hydrogen in fuel cells

I am so sick of Hydrogen being linked to fuel cell development!!! If you want to hasten the development of Hydrogen as a fuel then don't wait on fuel cell development. All of todays internal combustion engines will run on Hydrogen. Diesels are the easiest to convert. However gas engines can also be modified to run on Hydrogen easily.
I don't know why it has not been done on a larger scale. The following problems do exist. Hydrogen is much harder to store on board, ( much heavier gage tank, as liquid Hydrogen only exist under very cold conditions and on earth under high pressure). Much poorer gas mileage. (the 27,000 or so BTUS supplied by Carbon in gasoline, is missing). It is possible to run todays cars on Hydrogen.

Detailed response on my CNET blog

I started to write a short comment here, but realized it needed
more detail than would be appropriate in a comment, so I made
this product the subject of my blog today:

Thank you Peter...

The original article was flawed. Michael Kanellos said we would
"pour water into the unit". Nope. That's not how it works.
Michael also said "The material splits water molecules into
hydrogen and oxygen". Nope. That's not how it works either.
Peter your blog is far more accurate.
Michael you need to pay closer attention or take better notes.
Though I suppose it's possible, I doubt a rep for Trulite would
make those serious errors in explaining how their product works.

Power Generator

If someone is looking for an inexpensive way to gererate power tools on the job or anything else for that matter, try looking into zinc power generators. I heard of them a few months back, manufactured by a company that has a stock ticker symbol of PWAC. Name is Power Air Corp. I haven't personally looked into it, but zinc is pretty accessable to operate a generator.

How long will this thing run a 15W Zonbu Mini-PC?

Wow, this may be just what I'm looking for.

I've been testing the Zonbu Mini-PC as a potential desktop replacement, and it works surprisingly well and better yet only sips 15W of power. Talk about green.

More details on the Zonbu on my blog:

Wow!!!

If you can push Hydrogen Molly Q's thru a membrane and suck out the electrons, what voltage do they come out at? Is it AC or DC? Couldn't you just use the filter on plain water and suck the electrons out of that?

Your explanations are great. They just leave me teeming with ideas. Thanks a lot.

Buy a whole bunch to power a car

Easy to do this.......

The fact remains the man who did make the hydrogen powered car in the 1980's was killed.

I am sure his patents are still valid and can be freely used. I refuse to pay for water when it is free!
