...electricity from renewable sources. Current from wind, solar or geothermal energy can be used to extract hydrogen from water molecules. In the future, hydrogen could be stored in tanks, and when energy is needed, the gas could be run through a fuel cell, a device that combines hydrogen with oxygen. The result: pollution-free electricity, with water as the only by-product. Already fuel-cell buses, cars and small generators are being tested. Eventually, some visionaries say, fuel cells placed in individual buildings could replace many of today's giant electric plants. But that will not happen unless the technology...
Many industry watchers believe that the fuel of the future for powering electric cars will be hydrogen. Special fuel cells can combine hydrogen with oxygen to produce electricity, driving a motor that can spin the wheels of the car much more quietly than a gas engine can. The only thing spewing from the tail pipe is water--pure enough to drink. Because fuel cells and electric motors are more compact than bulky internal-combustion engines, the new technology will free up the shape and design of cars...
...Snow Mountain Music Festival, which launched on Aug. 17 on a picturesque mountainside near the town of Lijiang in China's southwestern Yunnan province, may set the record for the highest altitude outdoor rock concert. The thin air at 3,700 meters has sickly Beijing rocker boys taking oxygen hits onstage between songs. The crowd at Max Yasgur's farm in 1969 may have been a hundred times bigger, but "China's Woodstock" can boast at least one thing in common with its American counterpart: the mud. It's been raining in Lijiang for a solid month. Not far from...
...nine-volt batteries. The Korean stage crew shrugs its apologies, and we start our set. The rain reaches a crescendo in our second song but the audience's spirits aren't dampened. Heads bang, a few brave souls surf the crowd, and we manage not to pass out from oxygen deprivation...
...fire dies when it is deprived of fuel, heat or oxygen. The main strategy for fighting wildfires is containment: surround the fire and starve...
