Low Cost Alloys for Magnetocaloric Refrigeration
SBC: GENERAL ENGINEERING & RESEARCH, L.L.C. Topic: 12bReplacement of petroleum based vehicles with fuel cell electric vehicles operating on hydrogen produced from domestically available resources would dramatically decrease emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants as well as reduce dependence on oil from politically volatile regions of the world. One major inhibitor to a hydrogen society is the lack of infrastructure, which requires hydroge ...
