Step on the gas -- New fuel cell design adds control, reduces complexity
01-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
When Princeton University engineers want to increase the power output of their new fuel cell, they just give it a little more gas -- hydrogen gas, to be exact. This simple control mechanism, which varies the flow of hydrogen fuel to control the power generated, was previously thought impossible and is a potentially major development in fuel cell technology.

Feeling the heat
01-10-2008 · EurekAlert!
Energy now lost as heat during the production of electricity could be harnessed through the use of silicon nanowires synthesized via a technique developed by researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley. The far-ranging potential applications of this technology include DOE's hydrogen fuel cell-powered "Freedom CAR," and personal power-jackets that could use heat from the human body to recharge cell-phones and other electronic devices.

Researchers 'sniff out' emissions from feedyards
03-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Setting up an air quality trailer in the midst of cattlepens at a feedlot will help measure gaseous emissions, said a TexasAgricultural Experiment Station researcher. Dr. Ken Casey, Experiment Station air quality engineer in Amarillo,wants to measure ammonia and hydrogen sulfide emissions from feedyards. His research team is setting up two climate-controlled instrumenttrailers in different locations at a feedyard. The trailers will beequipped with two continuous emissions analyzers.
