12/8/03 Venture Creates Low-Cost Way To Refit Cars To Run On Hydrogen "Energy venture Hydrogen Energy Laboratory Project Co. has developed a relatively inexpensive way to modify automobiles so they can run on hydrogen. To convert a gasoline-fueled car into a hydrogen-burning car, the company uses the existing gas tank to store water and installs a separate tank containing pressurized hydrogen. The hydrogen and water are fed to the engine and injected simultaneously, in computer-controlled volumes, into the cylinders, where the hydrogen is burned in a process that creates high temperatures and instantly vaporizes the water. The expansion that occurs when water converts to steam drives the pistons. The main substance exhausted from the car is water vapor. According to the company, one cubic meter of hydrogen can propel the car for around 4km, and the tank, which is made by a Canadian firm, can hold 70 cubic meters of hydrogen. . . it currently costs 10 million yen [US$93,000] to modify an existing car . . ."

10/11/03 Japan Firms Devising Core Fuel Cell Technology "Honda ... and the Hitachi Ltd. group have started to develop the technology to make key parts for fuel cells on their own ... if deregulation enables the installation of hydrogen filling stations in spring 2005, fuel cell use could grow exponentially, mainly in automobiles and home appliances. Thus, Japanese manufacturers are stepping up their efforts to accelerate the in-house development of such key components as stacks. . . [Ballard] did not disclose its internal mechanism, and this has presented Honda with a number of problems in the development of new models because the stack determines a fuel cell's capability." Nikkei 10/10/03 Japan Should Be Choosy About Which Technologies To Push "Japan ... enjoys a head start in the development of key technologies necessary to build fuel cell-powered vehicles.
