BOC launches hydrogen cylinder to power Hymera fuel cell portable generator　July, 2011
BOC has launched a new lightweight hydrogen cylinder, which will provide the energy source for its Hymera fuel cell generator. The Hymera power source is used in a variety of low-energy, high-efficiency applications. The 150 W Hymera PEM fuel cell generator was launched last year by BOC, a member of The Linde Group. The units are already being used in a range of off-grid applications such as construction and railway maintenance – and increasingly in lighting projects.

James May's Pub Guide to Popular Technology　July, 2011
The hydrogen fuel cell is an electricity-generation device, powered by hydrogen (from a tank of some sort) and oxygen (taken from the atmosphere, unless you're on s spaceship, then that comes from a tank as well).It produces electricity on demand.

Testing the Goods: Horizon MiniPak Portable Fuel Cell Charger　May, 2011
As humanity goes wireless, the last pesky tether we and our gadgets have to escape is the power cable. Portable, battery-powered chargers tend to be both inefficient--so low-powered they struggle to recharge modern smartphones--and environmentally unfriendly. There have been off-the-grid chargers that rely on renewable energy before, valiantly attempting to rectify those problems, but most are ineffective without a steady source of wind, solar power, or abhorrent manual labor like cranking, yanking, or shaking (ech).

Fuel Cell Envy　February, 2011
Last week, I attending the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Conference held in Washington, D.C. A few things struck me. First, there are innovators all over the world doing interesting work and, more importantly, working to commercialize products. Second, people came from far and wide.

Will a Consumer Electronics Fuel Cell Market Begin to Emerge?　January, 2011
Asian companies like Horizon have dominated in this sector, due in part to the dominant position of Asian companies in the broader consumer electronics arena. Fuel cell companies with ties to the major electronics players have a significant competitive advantage, while it may be difficult for a new company outside the existing supply chain to enter into this market.

The Most Exciting Product of CES 2011: Horizon's Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Packs　January, 2011
If you ask most journalists what the most exciting product of CES 2011 was, the answer will be a tablet. Most likely the Motorola Xoom. Personally, I find it hard to get too excited about a product we've all been anticipating and reading about for months. There's nothing surprising about the fact that Motorola can build a 10' tablet with good battery life and a dual-core processor.

The Exciting Potential of Fuel Cell-Powered UAVs　January, 2011
The potential benefits afforded by fuel cell technologies are currently being explored across an array of military applications within the U.S. Department of Defense and other defense agencies around the world. At Pike Research, we're currently tracking developments across many applications including in-the-field battery charging, personal electronics, portable power generation, auxiliary power units, robotic exoskeletons, and medical EVAC support.

Horizon's fuel cells power UAVs three times longer than batteries　December, 2010
Horizon’s hydrogen fuel cell pack system for mini unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could mean saved lives. Because the AEROPAK as the system is called, is capable of increasing the time and distance of UAV flights, they will be able to do more reconnaissance without returning to base. In military situations, that could mean saved lives.

Horizon's Fuel Cell Triples Flight Duration Capability of South Korean Close-Range UAV　November, 2010
The newly developed AEROPAK hydrogen fuel cell power system recently announced by Horizon Energy Systems (HES) of Singapore helped set a new record for electric flight duration - this time in South Korea.

Arcola to produce 500W fuel-cell lighting system　October, 2010
A British firm is hoping to help music festivals and other arts events reduce their carbon emissions with a portable hydrogen fuel cell.
London-based Arcola Energy has won £25,000 from the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) to develop a 500W version of its existing fuel-cell LED lighting system, which the firm claims could reduce emissions by 90 per cent compared to conventional lighting.

A clean energy hub for Asia and beyond　October, 2010

We were so intrigued with the story that we caught up with Nico Sergent from Riversimple for further background on the project.

Horizon MiniPak Brings Hydrogen Fuel Cells to the Masses　June, 2010
We’re all looking for alternate, better, and more powerful ways to charge all of our gadgets. That’s half the fun of owning all these shiny things: finding ways to actually keep them powered. And while double-A batteries, or any of their brethren, work great for some things, and those AC wall chargers are constantly plugged in, we’re always in the market for something that we can take with us, doesn’t kill our batteries in the process of charging, and can last longer than we probably need it to.
