Home Hydrogen Refuelling

ITMhydrogen

Hydrogen Fuelled Cars And Houses Coming Soon?Hydrogen fuel receives mixed opinions from scientists. While many believe it is the fuel of the future poised and ready to be developed so that it can power cars and home systems, others believe it is too expensive to convert into a usable power rendering it essentially useless. Whichever side of the line you fall on you might be interested to learn about the home hydrogen fuel station.

Realistically, the home refuelling system in its current iteration is unlikely to be used for refuelling a car. While the system is capable of generating enough gas over the space of an evening to propel a car for a distance of around 25 miles, it would need an ultra expensive hydrogen compressor pumping the price up by another £20,000.

However, IMT, the company that has created the home hydrogen refuelling system has created a Sheffield based show home. This home uses the refuelling centre to run various systems including air conditioning and heating.

IMT has claimed that the unit may be available later this year and also believes that the cost of the unit once under mass construction would not need to be more than £2,000.

Many potential users will be put off by the fact that the system requires the use of electricity in the electrolysis process. It uses vastly lower amounts of electricity but still carries a carbon footprint.

Full colour ASUS eReader unveiled

asusereader

asus ereaderManufacturer ASUS has released details of a brand new eReader that it intends to launch this year, although the specifications are not quite what some had expected. ASUS was conspicuously absent from the eReader element of the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, but this announcement more than makes up for it.

The new device will feature a 6 inch screen that uses OLED display technology. To the uninitiated, this means that there is no independent backlighting, as each organic LED emits its own light, which saves energy, slims down the product and produces a much better picture.

It had originally been reported that ASUS would be producing a monochromatic eReader similar to the Amazon Kindle, but the announcement of this OLED device, which is tentatively called the DR-570, suggests that ASUS is aiming even higher.

The DR-570 will have integrated Wi-Fi and 3G networking connectivity, allowing for wireless downloads of books and magazines. Its manufacturer also claims that on a single charge the device will provide for more than 122 hours of average use.

ASUS has said that it intends to get the DR-570 out on the market before the end of 2010 and you may be concerned that the price of something so high-tech might be a little too steep for the average consumer. However, given that ASUS has a reputation for producing high quality, low cost goods and can be credited with starting the netbook phenomenon with its EEE PC, the DR-570 eReader may well enter the market at an attractive price point.
