Hydrogen Fuel Generation in Your Home

Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies of Singapore recently introduced at this year’s CES a portable hydrogen refueling station, called the HYDROFILL that can be used in your home.  It is a small desktop device that when plugged to any power source extracts hydrogen from the water tank and stores the extracted fuel in small refillable cartridges in solid form. The extracted hydrogen is absorbed by metallic alloys contained in the cartridges converting it into a crystalline form.  This new development in portable fuel cell technology is a great step towards consumer fuel generation and will eventually reduce our dependence on traditional utility-generated power and fossil fuel.  This may also lead to the development of more battery-powered devices, which may include low-cost electric vehicles that can already travel long distances using portable energy sources such as the HYDROFILL.  This technology is also earth-friendly for the extraction and conversion processes do not produce byproducts that can be harmful to the environment.
