Aircraft Made Hydrogen Glide Space

FLORIDA - While NASA may have found something new to explore space. But the space agency of the United States (U.S.) has used a technology innovation is the use of hydrogen as a fuel for the final mission of the space shuttle program.

During the launch of space shuttle Atlantis is still using traditional fuels with solar-powered mobile diesel generators. For that NASA needs a new technological innovation that is more efficient in fuel use.

This new system created by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratories as the industry partners.

As reported by TG Daily, Tuesday (08/02/2011), the fuel cell generates electricity to save power by emitting light or known plasma lighting system. This system can add power to 2.5 kilowatts, which allows for support of additional equipment (such as power tools, personal address systems and metal detectors for security) on the plane.

Lennie Klebanoff, Sandia project leader, stated that hydrogen fuel cell-powered mobile sun, potentially dramatic in the real world. The use of this technology is commonly used in the construction field of entertainment and airport applications.

Klebanoff added, hydrogen fuel cell-powered mobile capable of cutting the use of the sun as much as 900 gallons of diesel per year. Obviously this can save money NASA is currently experiencing financial problems.
