it’s actually hydrogen that’s burning, as his machine generates enough heat to break down the chemical bond between hydrogen and oxygen that makes up Fire.

- Method makes refineries more efficient December 25, 2009Refineries could trim millions of dollars in energy costs annually by using a new method developed to rearrange the distillation sequence needed to separate crude petroleum into products.
- 'Rock-breathing' bacteria could generate electricity and clean up oil spills December 15, 2009A new discovery could contribute to the development of systems that use domestic or agricultural waste to generate clean electricity.
- Ethanol-powered vehicles generate more ozone than gas-powered ones December 14, 2009Vehicles running on ethanol will generate higher concentrations of ozone than those using gasoline, especially in the winter, researchers have found. That could create new health concerns in areas where ozone hasn't been a significant problem before.
- Bacteria engineered to turn carbon dioxide into liquid fuel December 11, 2009Global climate change has prompted efforts to drastically reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas produced by burning fossil fuels. In a new approach, researchers have genetically modified a cyanobacterium to consume carbon dioxide and produce a liquid fuel precursor to isobutanol, which holds great potential as a gasoline alternative. The react […]
- A greener way to get electricity from natural gas December 8, 2009A new type of natural-gas electric power plant could provide electricity with zero carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere, at costs comparable to or less than conventional natural-gas plants, and even to coal-burning plants. But that can only come about if and when a price is set on the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases -- a step the […]
- Diesel truck engine made with barely measurable emissions December 7, 2009Scientists are pushing to see how clean and green a diesel truck engine can be. Researchers have simultaneously cut nitrogen oxide and soot production, reducing pollutants in exhaust emissions to barely measurable levels. Their experimental engine nearly meets stringent requirements set to go into effect in 2014. They've also developed a probe for study […]
- Hydrogen-powered fuel cell unmanned air vehicle sets 26-hour flight endurance record December 1, 2009The Naval Research Laboratory's Ion Tiger, a hydrogen-powered fuel cell unmanned air vehicle, has flown 26 hours and 1 minute carrying a 5-pound payload, setting another unofficial flight endurance record for a fuel-cell powered flight.
- Energy-saving powder may allow exploitation of unused reserves of natural gas November 22, 2009Chemists are using a simple method to convert methane to methanol -- something that has the potential to exploit previously unused reserves of natural gas.
- Advanced nuclear fuel sets global performance record November 18, 2009Scientists have set a new world record with next-generation particle fuel for use in high temperature gas reactors (HTGRs).
- Glimpsing a greener future: Computer model foresees effects of alternative transportation fuels November 17, 2009It's the year 2060, and 75 percent of drivers in the Greater Los Angeles area have hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that emit only water vapor. Look into Shane Stephens-Romero's crystal ball -- a computer model called STREET -- and find that air quality has significantly improved. Greenhouse gas emissions are more than 60 percent lower than in 2009, and […]
