3 false myths about hydrogen cars

We talk about hydrogen vehicles, cars that run on an electric motor, but in this case the battery that moves the engine is not charged with electricity but with hydrogen. Their footprint in the environment is almost invisible since they only emit water vapor, their refueling does not last more than five minutes and their autonomy is greater, since it does not feed from a battery.

Russia gets new breakthrough in hydrogen engines

Scientists from the Federal Baltic University Immanuel Kant – Russia, found an effective way to obtain hydrogen engine fuel by using molybdenum sulfide. «Molybdenum sulfide as a material for catalysts, in the first place, is more effective than molybdenum and, secondly, much cheaper, since the total amount of expensive metal in the catalysts is reduced, and sulfur is not scarce and very cheap. «
