New Battery unites Hydrogen oxygen to produce electricity Cambridge England a a fuel cell which makes electricity by reversing the chemical process used in storage batteries has been demonstrated. Sponsors said the apparatus May free the world s transportation from its present dependence on Oil and Coal. The cell produces electricity by combining gaseous Hydrogen an oxygen. In addition to electrical Power it yields water As a exhaust product. In conventional batteries Poweris obtained by splitting water into Hydrogen and oxygen. Fork lift powered the electrical output of the Model cell was used to Power Fork lift which lifted a two ton Load to Cut through a chunk of mahogany with a circular saw and to furnish the Energy for a welding Assembly. The heart of the new Power source was a chamber 30 inches Long 15 wide and 12 deep which mixed Hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of a Nickel plate swim Ming in a solution of caustic soda. The chemical reaction yielded 5kilowatts, or about 7 horsepower. The chamber itself was Small but the 700 pounds of control gear including the heavy tanks to contain the pressurized Gas is b u 1 k y enough to fill a truck. 700-hp cell possible the cell was developed by f. T. Bacon who has been working on the idea for 25 years. An Engineer said the Bulky control gear used would probably suf fice for a cell with an output of500 kilowatts or 700 horsepower. The whole Assembly would take up comparatively Little room in Railroad car he said and it would provide plenty of Power to run he said that it was hoped to reduce the bulk of the control gear by 80 to 90 per cent. Though Hydrogen is the most plentiful of All elements he said it is largely locked up in water and costs a lot to set Cunard skipper backed by Union in dismissal fight Liverpool England a British ship masters have rallied to the support of Captain James , fired by the Cunard company As skipper of the 27,000-ton liner Britannic.
