January 2012: We're working on a new hydrogen generator to fill the gap between our large and small units. More details in March 2012.

October to December 2011: Congratulations to several of our employees on their marriages: Two engineers, Talya Krasner to Benjamin Jacobovitz (married each other), Tova Shevin married to Danny Jacobovitz (Ben's brotyher). And also to Sam Wayne who married Zajac, someone not in the company.

September, 2011: Following the demise of the space shuttle program and our role making hydrogen extractors for that, we've put in a bid to make the extractors for the Vulture Program, a hydrogen-powered aircraft intended to stay at 60,000-90,000 feet for 5 years at a time. Wish us luck.

August, 2011: Now offereing a New Small Temperature Control Box, basic temperture control for Purifier Modules and Membrane Reactors:

July, 2011: Westinghouse orders 36 hydrogen extractors for nuclear reactor use (enough for one reactor), a product to improve heat transfer and improve passive nuclear reactor safety.

July, 2011: REB Research unveils it's new hydrogen separator cell design with internal heat exchange. This new designs saves energy, and provides higher purity than possible with external heat exchange.

May 2011: Robert Buxbaum just finished an analysis of the main tritium recovery loop for the ITER (Paris) nuclear fusion reactor. Sorry to say, I can't share any details; they're all classified for no apparent reason.

March 2011: New article on the source of hydrogen explosions at nuclear plants and a product we sell to reduce the risks.

March 2011: Completed tests of a new Methanol Reformer for use with high temperature, PEM fuel cells, hydrogen generators, and as a supply of reformate to membrane evaluation experiments. Now available.

January 2011: Hydrogen sources for fuel cell automobiles: what advantages can you get by powering a car with hydrogen. Choose your hydrogen supply to maximize these advantages. Robert Buxbaum makes the case for on-board hydrogen generators.
