Good work, but the problem with all these fuel cells is the life of the catalyst. Fuel cells are the solution of the future — and have been for the last 50 years!

And here I thought gas turbines were the wave of the future.

Except guess from where hydrogen is obtained in the first place? Yep, you got it: from fossil fuels like petroleum and coal: "Currently, the majority of hydrogen (∼95%) is produced from fossil fuels by steam reforming or partial oxidation of methane and coal gasification with only a small quantity by other routes such as biomass gasification or electrolysis of water." So "hydrogen" cars, just like "electric" cars, are fossil fuel burners just like their counterparts that fill up at gas stations. REAL science and REAL reality is just so sad for all the greenies, isn't it?

With a greater loss in efficiency than using the Natural Gas as fuel directly.

Excellent! Formic Acid!
Hopefully we can get rid of the vibrating bird killing Wind Farms and replace them with Ant Farms! A marketable energy commodity that should encourage the harvesting of the crazy ants and fire ants invading the southwest! (Accessible without drilling half way through the earths mantle!)
For a change a rare element that is not controlled exclusively by the Chinese.
“Ruthenium is found as the free metal, sometimes associated with platinum, osmium and iridium, in North and South America, and in South Africa. There are few ores. Ruthenium is also associated with nickel and deposits (from which it is recovered commercially.”
Interesting. We also have the new Aluminum/ graphine battery and whatever Elon Musk came out with today. I wonder if Mr. Musk has hired Mr. Filonenko yet?
I like these articles. Thanks for posting!

We gots lots of Fire Ants and Crazy Ants, so were set.................

"During experiments, two bachelor students of Chemical Engineering ... accidentally stumbled upon a catalyst that speeded up the reaction immensely..." Ah, someone spilled their Monster energy drink.

Can cars run on acid? Not sure, but I think someone tried it before back in the 1970s . . .

Hydrogen, isn’t that what KITT (from “Knight Rider”) ran on? One of my favourite episodes was about Michael and KITT going into a race with cars competing in a “best alternative fuel” type of contest.

Oh great another nice in theory who the heck knows if it can scale or be manufactured moment

If hydrogen was good enough for the Hindenburg and the bomb, it’s good enough for me.

What is the ‘carbon footprint’ to develop and then run this technology? Is it greater than what is already available?
