1. MIT engineers have developed a method to produce hydrogen using purified aluminum from soda cans mixed with seawater, accelerated by caffeine. 2. This technology aims to power marine and underwater vehicles by creating a compact reactor that generates hydrogen on demand. 3. The researchers plan to test the reactor in marine environments, estimating that 40 pounds of aluminum pellets could power a small underwater glider for 30 days.
