Product Description
Discover the solid science and cutting-edge technologies behind hydrogen energy and fuel cells, and learn how we will use this energy in our homes and buildings, vehicles and public transportation, for electricity in remote areas and for backup power, and much more. Zed, the wise wizard of the Wasserstoff Farm, leads readers through chapters that include an overview of basic chemistry and energy transformation; a look at global warming and the annual U.S. energy consumption; electrolysis and other ways of extracting hydrogen from water; extracting hydrogen from coal, natural gas and biomass; ethanol and methanol production; nuclear energy and hydrogen production; using wind and solar energy for hydrogen production; hydrogen storage; internal combustion engines fueled by hydrogen; and fuel cells for vehicles and buildings. |

Nice book 
I recommend this book for everyone that thirst in science, because this book will answer the possibilities using hydrogen as an energy, and explain everything in fun way. Congrats for Rex...

I want to resell 
I have baught this book to study about the hydrogen. But there's no new information. And the story is very confusion. Please don't buy.

Finally! An book that bridges the scientific divide
I got this book and was blown away! I could hardly put it down. I work with an NSF Fuel Cell Research Experience for Undergraduates and am ordering a book for each participant to give them the needed scientific background AND the global context for the significance of fuel cells and related technologies. Rex Ewing is one of those rare and talented authors who can bridge the divide between science and literature and between scientist and layman. Yet the science it thorough, well researched, and not watered down. The world NEEDS more works like this that put technological concepts within reach of the everyone. To address the complex global environmental problems we are facing in the 21st century, it is important that we all take responsibility (not just scientists and policy makers) for educating ourselves to bring about solutions. Read this book for knowledge...and a fun journey too. Who says science has to be boring? Not Mr. Ewing, thank goodness. PHENOMENAL!!

An informed and in-depth study of hydrogen that can be easily grasped by the non-scientist with an interest in this subject
Very written and directly accessible to the non-specialist general reader, Hydrogen: Hot Stuff, Cool Science by Rex A. Ewing offers an informed and in-depth study of hydrogen that can be easily grasped by the non-scientist with an interest in this subject. Hydrogen introduces the reader to the every aspect of the manifold uses of hydrogen, what the chemical really is, where hydrogen comes from, and how it works as a fuel. Ewing presents a remarkable reference for anybody without much scientific background with a true interest in hydrogen and all of the extensive and innovative uses for it. Also very highly recommended reading from Pixy Jack Press is Rex Ewing's "Got Sun? Go Solar: Get Free Renewable Energy To Power Your Grid-Tied Home (0965809870, $18.95) which he co-authored with Doug Pratt.
