The premise of the “Mr. Fusion” device was that it used cold fusion to produce power. Cold fusion is a hypothetical source of nuclear power that would occur at or near room temperature. It’s been pretty much cast out by the scientific establishment.
The Hydrogenics fuel cells are an alternative energy technology that generate electric energy through the reaction between hydrogen (or a hydrogen-rich fuel source) and oxygen. These devices are particularly interesting due to high efficiencies relative to traditional combustion engines and low emissions, producing only heat and water as waste products.
I personally feel that technologies such as these are more promising than any advances in battery technologies we’re likely to see.
:):)
I think that there may be significant EV penetration by the time some of these technologies mature. At that point whatever replaces EV will have to be home fuelable as people will be very used to home fueling at not having to go to any kind of fuel outlet. I’m sure it’s doable but will still probably use grid energy to produce it.
Interesting topic though.
