Latest Solid oxide fuel cell Stories

FARMINGTON, Conn., March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The sun delivers more energy to the earth in one hour than civilization currently uses from fossil fuels, nuclear power and all renewable energy sources combined in a year. This solar energy can be captured and stored directly in the chemical bonds of a material, or fuel, and then used when needed. These chemical fuels, in which energy from the sun has deliberately been stored, are called solar fuels. (Photo:...

AKRON, Ohio, Aug. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] secured a contract with the Office of Naval Research for the design and development of solid oxide fuel cell generator set as an alternative to traditional battlefield power generation equipment. Lockheed Martin's fuel cell technology will be integrated with solar panels, providing the military with the power needed to perform missions while using dramatically less fuel. At the end of the 32-month development...

The delivery is the latest in a series of multi-unit...

Brett Smith for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online We’ve heard about batteries that keep going and going, but scientists have taken the next step and created an energy source that keeps going even after its fuel is gone. This ‘zombie’ fuel cell, which is a fraction of the size of a standard AA battery, converts hydrogen to electricity, but also has the ability to store electrical chemical energy. The stored energy can then be tapped into after the cell’s hydrogen fuel supply is...

Energy expert advocates investing in "the other fuel cell" to reduce reliance on fossil fuels now, not in decades. COLLEGE PARK, Md., Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- When most people hear the words "fuel cell," they think of eco-friendly, hydrogen-powered cars that emit nothing more than water. And that, says Professor Eric Wachsman, director of the University of Maryland Energy Research Center (UMERC), is one of the reasons we're all not driving one. The U.S. Department of...

TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Terminus Energy Inc. (TMGY.PK) Terminus Energy Corporation announced today that all commercialization targets for the Terminus TE-50 distributed electric power generator are on schedule. Terminus CEO Dan Pratte stated, "We are meeting all target dates for our commercialization work.
