Home-Based Hydrogen Refueling Station

Posted by samzenpus on from the burning-down-the-house dept.

Sportsqs writes "One of the main barriers to the widespread adoption of fuel cell vehicles has been the lack of an adequate hydrogen-refueling infrastructure. Beyond a handful of hydrogen stations, such as the one near Los Angeles International Airport, there just isn't anywhere to fill up. Step forward ITM Power, a UK company that has developed a hydrogen refueling station that could be installed at home, providing a ready-made solution for fuel-cell car owners."

    Try it yourself: stick two leads from a 9V battery into water in a jar and watch bubbles of oxygen and hydrogen arise from the two leads. Now place a flame over the top of the jar.

    No, on second thought, don't do that unless you're in a lab with a flame cabinet and are experienced with lab techniques. But still.

    No, no. please do try this experiment. Just make sure you have someone video the whole thing and upload the it to youtube.
