Home Hydrogen Fueling Station
Posted in Eco, News, Science with tags Eco, Off grid, oil on 11 Jul 2008 by dem1972A company in the UK has developed a hydrogen home refueling station that is capable of refueling cars from…erm…home. The unit they have developed is capable of producing enough fuel that will last the average car 40 km or 25 miles. Might not sound like much, but considering this is the first unit developed that is small (and presumably safe) enough to be used at home it is a step in the right direction.
Now this is an innovation I would really like to see work; granted the 40km is not a lot, but increasing this capacity would give you enough to maybe make the commute or short journeys and also reduce the dependency on oil and oil companies. However, I wonder how long it will be before the large oil companies will ‘disappear’ the company that developed it.
BoingBoing Gadgets has an excellent article all about the ten most perfect gadgets ever invented. They inlucde the wrist watch, the bicycle and printed money. I am not convinced that printed money can be defined as a gadget, but I would suggest that printed moey can be used to buy the other nine.
