The first experimental hydrogen station in Russia fills the car in three minutes

The first experimental hydrogen filling station in Russia is located on the grounds of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Chemical Physics. The refueling procedure is similar to that of a standard gas station. Except for the fact that the pistol is locked up.

The automobile is, in reality, a typical electric vehicle, except instead of batteries, it runs on hydrogen. In comparison to gasoline, the tank has a very small capacity.

The automobile can drive 600 kilometers on 5.5 kg of gasoline. After that, in only three minutes, you may refill.

Even with pilot production, the cost of fuel per kilometer is less than that of gasoline and diesel.

“We earn around 300 rubles per kilogram of hydrogen at the cost of electricity,” says Alexei Levchenko, deputy head of the NTI Competence Center for Technologies of New and Mobile Energy Sources of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute for Problems of Chemical Physics.

Produces the future plant’s fuel, which is totally constructed of Russian components. And they receive their energy from regular tap water.

This electrochemical process has been known to humanity for about two centuries. Water is divided into its original molecules during electrolysis, which is done under the influence of an electric current. One electrode collects oxygen, while the other collects hydrogen.

The issue has always been how to store the gas that results. They learned how to compress it tightly at a facility near Moscow.

In terms of the gaseous state, this is one thousand two hundred liters of hydrogen, – a small tank is shown. According to Russian knowledge, the gas within is not liquefied, but rather in atomic form. Inside, the pressure is comparable to that of a vehicle tire.

This is how we’re progressing. “We store hydrogen in a compact, safe manner at a relatively low pressure compared to the pressure at which it is held in conventional cylinders,” explains Boris Tarasov, head of the hydrogen storage laboratory at the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Chemical Physics.

A hydrogen accumulator is a cylinder-like this. Gas must be delivered to fuel cells in order to generate electricity. These look to be regular metal plates that have been joined into an accordion.

The wattage is around 100-120 watts here. For example, the most powerful laptop consumes the same amount of energy, as Aleksey Levchenko demonstrates.

The bigger the fuel cell, the more power it produces

They experiment with nearly everything that has an electric motor at the institution. A little bus serves as a prototype for urban transportation. Several dozen drones have already taken to the skies. They can hover in the air for about an hour on a modest hydrogen battery. A drone has been tested, and a little plane is waiting in the wings. But the most surprising feature is not that common water is used as a raw material in its production, but that after providing energy, everything returns to its original state.

It has been raining heavily for the past few days. The hydrogen machine is similar in that it creates a lot of water, which is then ejected. The exhaust is ordinary water with a watery flavor.

Hydrogen fuel can be regarded as completely ecologically benign if the energy used to split water is generated by solar panels or wind turbines. Most significantly, we not only have all of the required technology, but they are also operational.
