Hamilton inventor and former chemical engineer, Brian Goggin, is seeking patents in NZ, the US, Japan, and Europe for a reinforced metal fuel tank which vents hydrogen gas safely in the event of an accident. The innovation – which Goggins sees as a step towards the eventual use of environmentally friendly hydrogen-powered cars – was also reported on in the New Scientist.
