      Fukuoka City has begun a demonstration of a small fuel cell.

      Fukuoka City, Tokyo R&D (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo), and others have begun a joint demonstration of fuel cell trucks (photo). By increasing the size of the high-pressure hydrogen container, they will be able to extend the cruising range from the 2018 demonstration to 210 kilometers and run on expressways. The vehicle will be a modified diesel-powered two-ton truck, which was used for 55 days from October to December in 2006 to make deliveries in the central part of Fukuoka City, traveling about 30 kilometers a day. The hydrogen containers were increased from three 36-liter bottles to three 51-liter bottles, and the cruising range was increased from 150 kilometers to 210 kilometers. The demonstration is being carried out as part of the Ministry of the Environment's "Technology Development and Demonstration Project to Strengthen CO2 Emission Reduction Measures. It will be operated by Tenjin Area Joint Transport Co. Photo taken on November 5, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

        Demonstration experiment using Osaka City University's fuel-cell vehicles to operate ships on hydrogen

        Shigeyuki Minami, a special-appointment professor at the Organization for Advanced Research and Development, Osaka City University, and his colleagues on April 1 unveiled a demonstration experiment of a hydrogen fuel cell-powered ship (photo) that can drive a fuel cell vehicle as a hydrogen power generation system. It was jointly developed with Current Dynamics (Sumiyoshi Ward, Osaka City). It will be equipped with Toyota Motor Corporation's "MIRAI" fuel cell vehicle and can carry up to 50 cubic meters of hydrogen. It has already obtained an operation license from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. It can travel for about 13 hours at a speed of 8 kilometers per hour, and about 93 hours at a speed of 4 kilometers per hour. Professor Minami said, "We would like to confirm that it is safe and can run for a long time, and use this as a trigger for the development of fuel cell ships.

          STOP Pedal" commercialized by Nanki Industry

          STOP Pedal" commercialized by Nanki Industry

          Nanki Industries (Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture) has been getting a lot of attention for its "STOP Pedal," which has increased from two to three inquiries a day to 20 to 30 inquiries a day as traffic accidents caused by elderly drivers stepping on the wrong pedal have become a social problem. "The number of inquiries has increased from two to three a day to 20 to 30 a day, as traffic accidents caused by elderly drivers mistakenly stepping on the gas pedal have become a social problem," said Mr. Minami. The product is installed in place of the accelerator pedal in automobiles. The only problem is that the system is not compatible with all car models and production cannot keep up with the demand. We want to reduce the number of traffic accidents and eliminate accidents caused by wrong steps," said Mr. Minami.

            Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' drone flies stably even in 30-meter winds

            Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' drone flies stably even in 30-meter winds

            Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced today that it has successfully conducted an experiment to operate an unmanned aircraft system combining aerial and underwater flying robots (drones) from a distance of 1,000 kilometers. A dedicated line connected the experimental monitoring area in Kyushu to the company's office in Marunouchi, Tokyo. It was confirmed that the drone could be operated until it detected a suspicious ship approaching the area via radar, rushed to the area, monitored it, and automatically tracked it. In the future, we will conduct experiments at longer distances and increase the number of drones. The system will be commercialized by the end of fiscal 2019. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has developed an attitude control technology for aerial drones that can withstand typhoon-force winds of 30 meters and fly stably.
