Breakthrough on-demand hydrogen fuel generator may make hydrogen cars safe and practical
Monday, May 28, 2007 by: David Gutierrez | Key concepts: magnesium, hydrogen and hydrogen vehicles

"The Arizona-based company Ecotality has announced plans to produce a device that generates hydrogen on demand for vehicle fuel cells, thus eliminating the many problems associated with hydrogen production and transport and bringing hydrogen cars closer to the realm of the practical.

The Hydratus, developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology, generates hydrogen from magnesium and water in a chemical reaction that takes place at temperatures between 400 and 600 degrees Celsius. The byproducts of the reaction are water and powdered magnesium oxide.
