Hydrogen Powered Turbine Test Successful

Turbine Truck Engines, Inc., is reporting that the company has successfully operated its full scale, fifth generation prototype engine utilizing compressed hydrogen as the fuel source. Testing produced zero emissions and required absolutely no modification to switch the Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine from propane to hydrogen. The betting line for success for those with jobs in Las Vegas has just tightened up a bit.

Michael Rouse, CEO of Turbine Truck Engines, said: “This is another major milestone for TTE. The company is moving forward in a significant way that is catching the eyes of serious investors. Clean air technology of this magnitude is something the world urgently needs.”

Mark Johnson, President of HGenerators, the hydrogen gas-from-water electrolysis generator company added, “One hundred percent renewable hydrogen gas-from-water technology would literally enable anyone to make their own fuel and power their Turbine Truck Engine using water as the basic ingredient. The test results prove that turbine engine technology, utilizing hydrogen as a fuel source, has the least environmental impact due to zero emissions resulting in a truly green application."

Take a look at the video demonstration that they have released:

GM sets fuel-cell SUVs on the road

Yesterday General Motors tested their Sequel SUV fuel-cell vehicles by driving them 300 miles on one tank of hydrogen on public roads. They believe that the test was a world record for the hydrogen fuel cells.

"This is a very significant event to us," said Larry Burns, vice president of research, development and planning. "Our goal was to go 300 miles because that is what our customers tell us they need. This is a vehicle that can carry four or five passengers, but this is also a vehicle that emits just water. ... We are in the infancy of a whole new automobile."

They picked New York because they have been the most critical of GM's fuel-efficiency in their fleet of heavy trucks.
