Using hydrogen as a fuel poses many challenges due to its high flammability, diffusivity and very low density as a gas. Storing it is another issue along with the difficulty in processing it as some methods are not sustainable. However, all that could be a thing of the past with a new small 22-lb hydrogen engine that could effectively replace the internal combustion engine.

Decarbonising The Aviation Sector: Electric vs Hydrogen Aircraft
We harnessed the power of flight more than a century ago when Wilbur and Orville Wright achieved the first powered, sustained and controlled aeroplane flight. Over time, this technology advanced allowing people to connect from all over the world fast than ever. However, this form of transport relies entirely on fossil fuels and that’s not a sustainable, long-term solution. If we are to succeed in decarbonising the aviation sector, we need another plan but will it be electric planes or hydrogen aircraft?

FAQ About Electrical Copper Busbars
First and foremost, busbars (often spelt bus bars or buss bars) are often metallic strips made from copper, brass or aluminium that ground and conduct electricity. Copper busbars are popular as the metal is soft, malleable and ductile with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. It’s the preferred choice for many due to its superb resilience to higher temperatures which provides extra security during short circuit situations.
