Realising the problem of not having a supply infrastructure in place, Tokyo Gas and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have come up with a much smaller [URL="http://www.techradar.com/search/results?searchterm=hydrogen&dated=&datem=&datey=&show=&sort=date"]hydrogen[/URL] pump that should make it simpler to fit out normal petrol stations. [B]Separation technique[/B] The new separation devices generate the hydrogen from normal city gas and water vapour using alloy membranes as filters instead of by the older method of purifying hydrogen. This lends itself to equipment that is [URL="http://www.nni.nikkei.co.jp/AC/TNKS/Nni20080428DA8J4282.htm"]small enough to go mainstream[/URL] [subscription required].
