hydrogen

Of all the elements on the Periodic Table, Hydrogen is the all-star. Hydrogen has the Atomic Number "1", and it really is #1! It also has the symbol "H" for Hydrogen, but that "H" could just as well stand for "Hero," "Hot Stuff," or even "Hercules" because Hydrogen is the King of all the Elements!

Not only is Hydrogen the most common element in the universe, but it is the lightest of all the elements.


Hydrogen makes up the raw element in stars throughout the universe, which is pretty cool, but it is also used for Hydrogen Gas, Hydrogen Energy, and the Hydrogen Bomb (H-Bomb)! Hydrogen is also used in hydrogen peroxide, and is heavily used in the petroleum and chemical industries.

All the other elements on the Periodic Table are envious of Hydrogen and they all want to be just like Hydrogen. But that's like asking Pavarotti to teach you how to sing like him, or asking Michael Jordan to teach you how to play basketball like him.

Ain't never gonna to happen...

• US Navy’s liquid hydrogen drone flies for record 48 hours

  
  Scene Releases - News from all over the world — Authority: 173
  Keeping a drone in the air as long as possible is a chief task for a UAV operator, especially in surveillance. One approach is to use fuel that packs a lot of energy for its volume, like hydrocarbons; drones like the MQ-9 Reaper can fly for 30 hours without landing for refueling.But combustion engines that use ...

• New Thermal Decomposition Process Produces Hydrogen Fuel sans Carbon Dioxide

  
  — Authority:
  Hydrogen fuel on its own may be greenhouse-gas [GHG] free, but what’s the point of it all if the production methods produce GHGs like carbon dioxide [CO2]? One way to produce hydrogen fuel is by steam reformation of natural gas, the main component of which is methane [CH4], itself a GHG about 20x more potent [...] ...

• New technique allows scientists to directly compare catalysts’ efficiency in different situations

  
  Science and technology news — Authority: 171
  Given two catalysts for the job of turning intermittent wind or solar energy into chemical fuels, scientists chose the material that gets the job done quickly and uses the least energy. A catalyst that quickly produces fuel but uses far more energy than it stores won’t get the job. Scientists could measure the ...

• Creating Hydrogen from Methane without CO2 Byproduct

  
  — Authority:
  Over 90-percent of the hydrogen created today is done so by the process of steam reforming natural gas / methane. In this process, CO2 is created as a byproduct. And a substantial portion of this CO2 (a greenhouse gas) is simply released into the atmosphere as a byproduct. Now what if this didn’t have to be the ...
