Hydrogen Propellant: Can it Power an Engine?

AI Thread Summary
Hydrogen can indeed be burned to drive engines, including reciprocating engines used in cars and buses. Recent developments in the "hydrogen economy" have spurred interest in hydrogen-powered vehicles, leading to increased testing of infrastructure for these technologies. Electric power cells are also utilized, where electricity splits hydrogen and oxygen, allowing the combustion of hydrogen in the engine. This dual approach highlights the versatility of hydrogen as a fuel source in modern transportation.

Can hydrogen be burned and used to drive an engine?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Yes. Reciprocating engines for example, in cars and busses, can be made to run on hydrogen. That's been done quite a lot recently because of the interest in the "hydrogen economy" and the need to test infrastructure using hydrogen powered vehicles.
 
Yep. Hence the electric power cells that use electricity to split hydrogen and oxygen, and combust the hydrogen in the engine.
 

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
