Sounds like a mediocre Scientific Method, science project for a grade schooler doesn’t it? Well…I know you realize that there was probably a purpose to this question that had something to do with energy. It did. According to the study: it takes between 3,000 gallons and 6,000 gallons of water to power a 60-watt incandescent [...]

Sugar gets us rolling, why not cars? Chemists are describing development of a “revolutionary” process for converting plant sugars into hydrogen, which could be used to cheaply and efficiently power vehicles equipped with hydrogen fuel cells without producing any pollutants. The method is being described as the most efficient method for creating hydrogen ever introduced. [...]

Now I understand that space/astronomy is considered science, but at the same time there are many other fields out there and a lot of interesting articles that I read that need comment from time to time. Not sure if this subject [...]

Hydrogen may now be closer to an everyday fuel source than most of us had originally thought. With new research it is being said that it may be possible to convert cellulose and other biodegradable organic materials directly into hydrogen. Researchers used naturally occurring bacteria in a microbial electrolysis cell with acetic acid — the [...]
