Hydrogen Energy

    1671
    In 1671 Hydrogen was first found by Robert Boyle, the reaction between iron filings and dilute acids was discovered as well, which results in the production of hydrogen gas. It is important to know when hydrogen was founded because, it wasn't actually found on Earth it was found on the Sun so it isn't really found on Earth it is produced on Earth.
  • Where was hydrogen discovered

    It’s so ingrained in us that the Sun is a nuclear furnace powered by hydrogen atoms fusing into heavier elements that it’s difficult to remember that, just 100 years ago, we didn’t even know what the Sun was made out of, much less what powered it!

    1766
    In 1766, Henry Cavendish was the first to recognize hydrogen gas as a discrete substance, by naming the gas from a metal-acid reaction "inflammable air". This knowledge is important because we actually find out about what ,hydrogen is and can be used and made as, so we can find a very good use for it and how it can be a more convenient resource.

    1783
    In 1783, Antoine Lavoisier first gave the element hydrogen its name which was hydrogen ( hydro meaning "water") and (gene meaning "creator"). He gave hydrogen its name when he and Laplace reproduced Cavendish's finding that water is produced when hydrogen is burned. This is something important because hydrogen first got its name when they found out what it can do.

    1783
    The first ever hydrogen filled ballon was invented by Jacques Charles in 1783, Hydrogen provided the lift for the first reliable form of air-travel including the 1852 invention of the first hydrogen lifted airship by Henry Gifford. This shows how important hydrogen is and how it can be used in air travel.
  • 1898

    1898
    Hydrogen was liquefied for the first time by James Dewar in 1898 by using regenerative cooling and his invention, the vacuum flask, and so he after a year produced solid hydrogen. This was an important piece of information because this was when people were discovering different ways to find a good use of hydrogen.
  • 1916

    Compounds of hydrogen are often called hydrides, a term that is used fairly loosely. The term "hydride" suggests that the H atom has acquired a negative or anionic character, denoted H−, and is used when hydrogen forms a compound with a more electropositive element. The existence of the hydride anion, suggested by Gilbert N. Lewis in 1916 for group 1 and 2 salt-like hydrides, was demonstrated by Moers in 1920 by the electrolysis of molten lithium hydride (LiH)
  • 1919

    1919
    The first non-stop transatlantic crossing was made by the British airship R34 in 1919. Regular passenger service resumed in the 1920s and the discovery of helium reserves in the United States promised increased safety, but the U.S. government refused to sell the gas for this purpose. Helium was made from hydrogen and was considered a safe gas to use and aone that works well.
  • 1937

    In the same year the first hydrogen-cooled turbogenerator went into service with gaseous hydrogen as a coolant in the rotor and the stator in 1937 at Dayton, Ohio, by the Dayton Power & Light Co.;[67] because of the thermal conductivity of hydrogen gas, this is the most common type in its field today.
  • 1977

    The nickel hydrogen battery was used for the first time in 1977 aboard the U.S. Navy's Navigation technology satellite-2 (NTS-2).[68] For example, the ISS,[69] Mars Odyssey[70] and the Mars Global Surveyor[71] are equipped with nickel-hydrogen batteries. These batteries were replaced in 2009
