Do Airplanes Really Affect Global Warming?

At least in the last  2 decades we often see damages created after heavy rains worldwide. Extreme weather seems to make the headlines almost every week, as disasters increasingly strike out of season, break records, and hit places they never have before. Decades of scientific research has proven that human-caused climate change is making some... Continue Reading →

Aerogels: The Lightweight Material with Superpowers

Aerogels are synthetic, porous, ultralight, dry materials (unlike “regular” gels you might think of, which are usually wet like gelatin dessert). The word "aerogel" refers to the fact that aerogels are derived from gels – effectively the solid structure of a wet gel, in which the liquid component has been replaced with air or other...

H – What does the color spectrum of Hydrogen mean?

Before to elaborate on the topic in the headline of this article, let me just remind that the Hydrogen element is an odorless and colorless gas. If observed in the Universe in the interstellar space it can give a pinkish red glow, this being only a visual effect created when Hydrogen is projected by the... Continue Reading →

H – Why Hydrogen Fuel is better than Fossil Fuels?

Hydrogen is by far much better than any other fuel we use. When burned in combustion the only emission it generates is water vapor so obviosly is the cleanest element 100% Eco-frienly we can ever get. The only problem is how can we get it in a clean way and use it as fuel. To... Continue Reading →

H – Why is Hydrogen a nearly ideal fuel?

Have no doubt that Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier. We just have to learn more about how to harness its power. We are used to think that difficult structures are also the most difficult to control. Well... Hydrogen is just teaching us the vice-versa. Elemental Hydrogen is the simplest and lightest atom in existence (made... Continue Reading →

H – The Drawbacks of Hydrogen

Does Hydrogen has any drawbacks which prevent us to have hydrogen economy? Striclty speaking about Hydrogen as fuel, the answer is NO. Elemental Hydrogen is the almost the perfect fuel. Hydrogen fuel is the most promising alternative fuel for the future. It has a high calorific value, It yields almost double the energy provided by jet... Continue Reading →

H – The Benefits of Hydrogen Fuel

In the last 100 years, we had so much energy available that we could simply afford the luxury of wasting it; But gradually that it is now running out and all the related environmental issues can no longer be ignored, something will have to change. And it MUST change. Our current level of energy consumption... Continue Reading →

H – How Flammable is Hydrogen?

Fire and explosions are exaclty what the Sun does. On Earth fire doesn't occur naturally that much like on the Sun, but we have it since the planet Earth exist. It is in volcanoes, in lightning strike or in wildfires ignited by the sun’s heat. Human species discovered fire so long ago that we can... Continue Reading →

H – The Challenge of Hydrogen Transport

In spite of important optimisations for Hydrogen Storage in the last couple of years, containing Hydrogen remains a challenge. In order to be contained effectively and used as fuel, hydrogen needs to to be kept either as gas at atmospheric temperature under high pressure or as liquid at lower pressure but  at cryogenic temperatures, or...

H – The Challenge of Hydrogen Storage

On Earth Hydrogen elemental Hydrogen is scarce. It is difficult to get and diffcult to handle. However there are plenty of sources easily available on our planet from where we can get Hydrogen. There a lot of it combined in molecules with other elements such as Oxygen (in water) and Carbon (in hydrocarbons) plus various... Continue Reading →
