World's 1st Hydrogen Fuel Cell Jet-Wing UAV

[doceigen]

Enjoy that sound, ...when you next hear it, it will be above your house targeting for the Urban International Police Force.

[professeur62]

I am ready to sponsor your adventure!

[megetxtremteam]

Look nice, how much this fuel cell?

[suicidewafflez]

Saw this fuel cell at the CES.

[STBNY]

very successful

[insanity54]

This model airplane makes such a cool noise when it flies!

[SMGJohn]

Sounds like a fuckin' electric engine

[insanity54]

Yeah I'm pretty sure it is, since fuel cells produce electricity.

[Digikong]

What a bunch of dumb comments.

It is obvious we do not have electric cars on fuel cells because the lack of Americans who know calculus, OHMs law and have items which they spent time and their own $ putting together in the corner of their room. Go ahead run your egos here is a tissue!

[DumbDuck44]

Wow, its emissions free... kindof like a LiPo... a LiPo that would be lighter and greatly outperform that fuel-cell "battery". Its cool from a proof of concept, but I am dismayed by the fact that politicians and the media completely disregard that lithium and NIMH batteries are a RIGHT NOW viable and environmentally friendly technology with far greater efficiency than any hydrogen model proposed to date.

[TheSupaCamaMan]

@DumbDuck44 Actually, i THINK the hydrogen fuel cell emits water..

[RoelofKenth]

There already pneumatic (air) solutions.

[eyeverve]

It sounds like a ducted fan...not a jet. And since a jet relies on combustion, it would be difficult to make a hydrogen jet unless you were using the hydrogen as the combustible!

[Harvile]

i need someone smart to keep me entertained

hi anyone want to chat Qd

[kulaskahuna]

lets have an inventory of all good engineers and evil engineers so that we can formulate equation if it is possible to save planet earth.

[staphinfection]

I'm all for jacking gas prices up as high as possible....

Only then will people start looking for alternatives to transportation. Hopefully, they choose a cleaner source so we can cut down on the nasty pollution that's giving us all cancer. But wait, the health industry is making too much money off cancer treatment, so now they are poisoning are food, water, and air with carcinogens... NEAT0!

[12creations]

Wow! Where is this located?! Would love to take my girlfriend on vacation to a place with beautiful fields like these.

[RobMonty248]

Gasoline? Hydrogen only comes from gasoline when your STUPID and OWN TOO MUCH STOCK IN GAS, otherwise, you can get it from tap water if your not a moron enough to listen to bush's bullshit, bush should be jailed!

[gcburns4]

Why don't you start your own company making hydrogen from a renewable source? America is a free market. Bush doesn't control it. The point is people don't do it because it costs a fortune. Your company would fold. Until you stop driving a car and using oil products, shut your mouth.

[sgjoni]

With the crude prices over 100$ now, making hydrogen with electrolysis is not so stubit any more. And in places like Iceland (where I'm from) that have more renewable energy than we have use for and where the only none renewable energy consumed is for transportation, hydrogen cars, boats and airplanes would make our energy consumption 100% renewable rather than 70% renewable now.

[aflacduky]

just wait until a barrel cost 200$ lol

[himrchp]

how bout when you just cant buy it.... cool jet

[MichaelJPierce]

so is iceland giving out citizenship to engineers? ;)

[sgjoni]

Unfortunately not, but there is a huge demand for engineers and I happen to be a recruitment consultant specializing in recruitments of specialists from abroad, including engineers ;-)

[rpaull3]

nice toy, is it liquid or compressed hydrogen powered? aka can it go more than a couple miles w/o a refill? lol

[snupho]

I think this concept design is pretty cool. The only problem is finding a cheap and easy way to create hydrogen fuel without using fossil fuels. When some1 figures that out, hydrogen fuel will be everywhere

[bujoun76]

Done! There is a certian kind of algae that only needs sun light and it produces all the hydogen gas you can ask for. The gas then gets converted into more useful forms soon after. What we need now is a government smart enough to get off their asses and make it happen. The terrorist shouldn't get any more oil money to kill us with. You can find the algae thing here on youtube!

[eaglerod444]

Cool! What's the name of the algae?

[vbrandenstein]

It's a bit hard to believe that it's "Wasserstoff" propeled, besides, I have seen a video and read some information on the designer of this aircraft, who's from switzerland, and calls his project Smartfish, and from what I understand is pretty independent and has not collaborated with anyone about anything

[projectcyclopsrpv]

Wheres the onboard video? Looks like just your run of the mill RC plane...

[elbonCid]

I can not believe it.

[bellroy501]

sounds like an alien space ship, cool

[Maxzoe20]

They are going to replace batteries, thank goodness.

[noobwithagun]

hydrogen is the way of the future, clean, non-toxic, can be found everywhere...

...and it makes your voice high!

[doublebassSZ]

thats Helium that changes your voice...

[jmoyet]

jeeze! if thats the mini version and its that loud i dont want to be near the big commercial ones. if it ever gets to that point.

[annihil8ted]

you know that not loud at all considereing the other planes. Gas put out way more sound than this

[Phyllocrania]

Ganz bestimmt kein wasserstoffbetriebenes Modellflugzeug! Das ist ein Fake!

[h2opower]

Very nice, keep up the great work.

[JONSEREDdotWS]

not sure I believe you. It has to be a small fuel cell that can put out a lot of power as that short wing plane needs at least 200 watts to fly.

So give us some numbers

[TickerShuffle]

That's a beauty.

[wingbatknickers]

hydrogen? you mean it splits H2O into it's component parts and then uses them as in an internal combustion engine or jet engine?

[HAL11000]

Is it a lifting body?

[sourfeet]

I concur :P

[danielgeery]

A new era has arrived! Truly.

[guitarlampclock]

hydrogen you say? does the electricity produced by one of those fuel cells have enough left over after powering the wheels/propeller to split water by electrolysis?

[latte123]

Great vid! Really good to see that fuel-cell technology is making good progress in the aviation area (as well as cars and small power-plants).

[jooles88]

This is cool, good video

[Nerobi]

Holy toledo, that was incredible!

Sounds kind of like a vacuum cleaner on steroids. :D

[ejetsorg]

awesome

[rkvm64]

ditto
