Re: Fuel Cell Vehicles - recent links & activity

One way to get around the hydrogen storage is to use methanol in the fuel cells which extracts the hydrogen from the methanol.

Methanol can be produced from waste - one company showed that old sweets (sugar based lollies) could be turned into methanol. Waste of some types can also be used.

Methanol explosive power can be boosted by adding nitrates. Methanol is the standard fuel for model aircraft using glo-plug engines. up to 20% nitrate can be added but the engines run very hot.

Some racing fuel has methanol blended with it.
