109. Hydrogen Gas Turbine, 3D Printed Ear, Nasa Investigates UFO/UAPs

News: <p><a href='https://newatlas.com/energy/gas-turbine-hydrogen/'>Researchers run a gas turbine on pure hydrogen in world first</a> | New Atlas (01:51)</p> <ul><li style="font-weight:400;">Gas turbines are found in aircraft, trains, ships, generators, pumps, compressors and all sorts of other places. <ul><li style="font-weight:400;">90% currently run on natural gas, which  produces carbon dioxide when you burn it</li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-weight:400;">In the race to zero emissions by 2050, several organizations, including General Electric, have been looking into transitioning gas turbines to burn green hydrogen as a clean fuel source.<ul><li style="font-weight:400;">As of now, GE has more than 100 turbines running on at least 5 percent hydrogen fuel by volume, and they say they are on the path to 100 percent.</li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Researchers at the University of Stavinger in Norway say they've beaten everyone to the punch, claiming that they've had a 100 percent hydrogen-burning gas turbine running since mid-May this year.<ul><li style="font-weight:400;">Runs its own micro gas power plant, and its gas turbine produces heat, electricity and hot water for hydronic heating.</li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Professor Mohsen Assadi, leader of the research team, states:<ul><li style="font-weight:400;">“We have set a world record in hydrogen combustion in micro gas turbines. No one has been able to produce at this level before … The efficiency of running the gas turbine with hydrogen will be somewhat less. The big gain though, is to be able to utilize the infrastructure that already exists.”</li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Eventually, these kinds of projects will lead to conversion kits that can keep old turbine equipment alive while moving it to zero-emissions fuel sources.<ul><li style="font-weight:400;">But this process needs to become economically viable, which means the price of green hydrogen needs to come down substantially.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>
