Five Common Fuel Cell Myths
A fantastic article by the Department of Energy regarding fuel cells. This is a perfect article for our Education Saturday agenda. Department Of Energy Fuel cell electric cars are some of the most advanced vehicles on the road today – and they’re here in the United States. Toyota, Hyundai, and Honda all have models commercially available. We recently added two fuel cell electric vehicles to our fleet (the first for a government agency) and are using them for public outreach. What we’re finding out is that there’s a lot of interest in these cars – and some misconceptions. So, in order to separate fact from fiction, we decided to tackle…

What Every Cleantech Startup Should Know – Incubatenergy.org
Department Of Energy Ever wonder how revolutionary clean energy technologies like LED lightbulbs, fuel cells, and solar panels went from great ideas to real-world solutions? Trust us, the journey isn’t easy, but thanks to entrepreneur support organizations called incubators and accelerators, the journey is much smoother. For more than two decades, clean energy incubators and accelerators have been popping up across the country to help more of their regions’ entrepreneurs bring new technologies to market. These organizations provide lab space, business expertise, industry mentors, introductions to investors, and opportunities to test and demonstrate technologies. Cleantech startups need this suite of resources to get their big ideas off the ground. Recognizing…

Mysterious Sounds From Space
In this episode, we explore the causes of such mysterious sounds, which originate from the Earth/Sun electrical connection. Observers of the spectacular Northern Lights are offering new testimony on the amazing sounds produced from electromagnetic phenomena in Earth’s upper atmosphere. Witnesses in Sweden reported hearing sounds similar to so-called laser blasts from the Star Wars films. A photographer and tour guide named Oliver Wright was able to capture audio of the sound, which seemed to grow louder as the witnesses approached nearby power lines.

How Dangerous is Deep Space Travel to Mars and Beyond
NASA has a mission protocol which says that if a Low Earth Orbit mission increases the lifetime risk of the crew getting cancer by more than 3% they won’t go ahead with it but the upcoming mars missions may expose the crews to levels that would be beyond that limit and other hazards, so how dangerous is deep space travel to Mars and beyond. With Elon Musk pushing to get men on Mars by the mid 2020’s and NASA looking to do the same for the 2030’s, just how much have we learned since Apollo and from the space stations. 50 years on from the beginning of the Apollo missions…
