• (2008) 'Nanoparticles could make hydrogen cheaper than gasoline'

"the coatings can be used to retrofit existing electrolysers to increase their efficiency to 85 percent--exceeding the Department of Energy's goal for 2010 by 10 percent"

"Instead of switching 170,000 gas stations over to hydrogen, using our electrodes could enable consumers to make their own hydrogen, either in the garage or right on the vehicle"

• October 21, 2006 - Nanotech giveth and taketh away. Recently I was researching the potential of aluminum powder to reduce the cost of lunar economic development. A concept floated a few years back involved terrestial use of lunar platinum to baseline economic development of lunar economy. Advances in nanotech have now improved the potential of aluminum powder for use in cost effective lunar rocket technologies while also enhancing the potential of terrestial nickel in use as a catalyst in automobile catalytic converters and feul cells. Terrestial use of lunar platinum now more cost effective than ever but obsoleted by use of terrestial nickel for same applications. [[1]] Mirwin 03:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
