CHICAGO (Reuters) - Pellets made out of aluminum and gallium can produce pure hydrogen when water is poured on them, offering a possible alternative to gasoline-powered engines, U.S. scientists say.

Dropped into saltwater containing imidazole, pellets of aluminum coated with a gallium-indium alloy produce hydrogen gas bubbles within minutes. This video has been sped up to 10x original speed.

Instead, we would transport aluminum as the ‘fuel,’ and just add water to produce the hydrogen that we need.” The first test of the idea will be a small underwater glider which, according to their ...

Hydrogen has long been seen as the fuel of the future—a clean, efficient alternative to fossil fuels. But while it burns cleanly, most of today's methods for making it still rely on dirty processes.
