Methanol Fuel
Methanol Fuel Cell
Methanol Fuel CellMost mobile devices which have become more and more well loved in recent years, will run on liquid fuel. They will remain electric, only battery contents will undergo dramatic changes. Methanol fuel cells are cutting-edge batteries for mobile devices on the current stage of technical development. The principle of operation is quite unadorned – electricity is generated through the reaction between methanol and ambient oxygen. The only byproducts are a tiny amount of water vapor and carbon dioxide. Therefore methanol fuel cells are more ecologically-forthcoming than conventional lithium-ion batteries. These types of batteries have already long been in use but due to their reduced size they found application as chargers for mobile devices. The vital benefit of methanol fuel cells is the low cost of methanol which is similar to ethanol. The Japanese corporation Toshiba was one of the first companies that developed the first cell based on methanol. The speakers for the Japanese companionship claim that a regular cell phone can run up to 300 hours without a recharge, a music player up to 20 hours, a laptop up to 8 hours, using the same fuel cartridge. A battery can be refilled in seconds. ie by changing a methanol tank, or with an injection of methanol solution into an empty tank. This new fuel cell is another step towards technological progress.

MGC’s Direct Methanol Fuel Cell : DigInfo
DigInfo – (movie.diginfo.tv) With the increase of companies researching oil alternative fuel sources, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical is developing their Direct Methanol Fuel Cell, DMFC, which uses methanol and the surrounding air to make energy. In MGC’s DMFC, the methanol interacts with a hydrogen ion layer even as the air interacts with a Platinum catalyst layer These two layers are separated by a polymer coated electrode catalyst that connects the two layers to make power. The exhaust, Carbon dioxide and water, are separated by MGC’s uniqe exhaust gas control system Since of the improved control of the Platinum catalyst at nano level, reaction efficiency and the long reliability of the electrode, the DMFC can provide 130mW The current model under development has a maximum output of 300W, 4000ml fuel tank, and can run for 8 hours straight. It can be turned on and off with the flip of a switch and used to power appliances such as lights and refrigerators.

Gates Barricade? Fuel Injection Hose Named 2012 Automotive News PACE Award Finalist
Gates Barricade® Fuel Injection Hose Named 2012 Automotive News PACE Choice Finalist
Denver, CO (PRWEB) October 19, 2011
Gates Corporation, a chief manufacturer of industrial and automotive products, today announced that its Barricade® Fuel Injection Hose is a finalist in the 2012 Automotive News PACE (Premier Automotive Suppliers’ Contribution to Excellence) Choice competition. The prestigious choice, which for the past 18 years has honored superior innovation, technological advancement and business performance among automotive suppliers, named Barricade Fuel Injection Hose a finalist in the Product Innovations category. Barricade Fuel Injection Hose combines low-permeation technology with high-pressure fuel hose to accommodate the increasing range of fuel and biodiesel blends available today.
“We are excited that the ground-breaking attributes we developed for Barricade Fuel Injection Hose were recognized by this innovation-focused awards program,” said, Dave Miller, Vice President of Marketing, Automotive Aftermarket at Gates Corporation.
Approved for use with gasoline, diesel, bio-diesel, methanol, ethanol and gasohol fuels, as well as fuel blends, Barricade Fuel Injection Hose is designed to withstand the most aggressive mixes, including higher ethanol blends recently approved by the EPA (such as E15), even as sinking permeation. Gates used GreenShield® Technology, a patent-pending, five-layer barrier technology, and an inner tube of synthetic rubber compounds to help the fuel hose achieve five times less fuel vapor permeation and fuel waste than any other hose in the industry. It also meets the requirements of both the California Air Resource Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Adding to its safety features, the hose has earned a maximum working pressure rating of 225 psi.
“A growing need in the marketplace is for a truly multi-fuel compatible hose that meets CARB and EPA requirements at an affordable price. To achieve this, our engineers had to push beyond the conventional and develop a fuel hose formula that is revolutionary, allowing our customers to be positioned for accomplishment in a modern global environment,” said Kyoyul Oh, Vice President, Global Moving Systems at Gates Corporation.
Gates Corporation, along with other Automotive News PACE Choice finalists, will undergo an extensive review administer, including a site visit by industry, academic and business leaders to select choice winners, to be announced at a gala ceremony in Detroit, Mich. on April 23, 2012.

Novel nanowires boost fuel cell efficiency
Fresh nanowires boost fuel cell efficiency
Engineers have made a new fuel cell catalyst system using nanowires made of a fresh material that boosts long-term performance by 2.4 times compared to today’s technology. The nanowires are made of a metal alloy known as a bulk metallic glass and have high surface areas, thereby exposing more of the catalyst. They also maintain their activity longer than traditional fuel cell catalyst systems.

Fresh Nanowires Boost Fuel Cell Efficiency
Fuel cells have been touted as a cleaner solution to tomorrow’s energy needs, with potential applications in everything from cars to computers. But one reason fuel cells aren’t already more widespread is their lack of endurance. Over time, the catalysts used even in today’s state-of-the-art fuels cells break down, inhibiting the chemical reaction that converts fuel into electricity. In addition …
