PROJECT * USA -. To power fuel cell electric bus with hydrogen from Lake Erie
NASA Glenn working on
Cleveland,OH,USA -The Plain Dealer, by John Funk -February 13, 2009: -- The NASA Glenn Research Center, Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA), Great Lakes Science Center, and United Technologies Corp. (UT) are working to create a fuel cell-powered bus using hydrogen from lake water... Further, the equipment to separate the hydrogen out from the water would be powered by the science center's wind turbine and solar panel array... United Technologies' UT Power division would loan the fuel cell bus to the RTA for two years for use on a downtown route... The bus would be quieter than a diesel bus. Its only emission would be water vapor... Hartford, Conn., has been using a UT Power fuel cell bus since 2007... (Photo from The Plain Dealer/File - The canopy of 156 solar panels and nearby wind turbine at the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland would be used to power an electrolyzer designed by NASA Glenn Research Center. The device would use the electricity to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen)Labels: Fuel Cell Buses
