Alternative Fuel Vehicles

If anyone saw the episode of Pimp My Ride with red muscle car that ran on biodiesel, what kind of engine was it? Does that fuel run on any regular diesel engine, is it a different engine, or do you need to modify the diesel engine?

We have hydrogen, air, and nuclear energy. So why doesn't the world fully start to convert to it?...Cars are a great example, we have the technology but only a few models are avaliable that actually use fuel saving technology...so why?

The Flex-Box Smart Kit allows you to operate your vehicle on any combination of ethanol and gasoline, such as E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline), E20, E10 or pure gasoline; it is an E85 ethanol conversion kit sold by Flex Fuel US(flexfuelus.com). Their website says it'll be on sale Summer '07, but nothing yet.

There are many obstacles that keep electric cars from being part of our main stream. Do you think the U.S. will finally put more development in making electric cars?

I've heard that some hobbyists do this, but just in the essense of saving time, I'd like to ask you if you have any solutions or know of a person or company that does this. Of course feel free to add in any other information that you think would be helpful; stuff like price, battery types, I'm all for excess information.

actually we know this for a fact. the populations are growing so rapidly, each year there are probably over 10 million new drivers. That means more and more oil will be used and since we cant create oil dont you think oil will be depleted very soon.

I was thinking and according to my knowledge, the answer would be "depends". They don't produce harmful gases (apparently).

The materials used in manufacturing electronic components create harmful gases and materials. Also power companies are required to power "refill stations" for cars. Generators need fuel too... So even more electrical issues...

So is the impact of electrical cars going to be more positive than negative?

I am curious to know if they rectified the industrial pollution problems.

I did some simple math and it looks like it would take me 8 years to break even on fuel costs for a honda civic sedan vs. a honda civic hybrid. Here are some of my facts: HC hy: $22,600; average mpg: 50mpg; annual fuel cost @ 15,000 miles per year: 900 bucks. honda civic 5 speed auto tranny: $19,500; average mpg: 35 mpg; annual fuel cost $1286. Cost difference $3,100. Fuel savings per year with the hybrid: $386. $3100/386=8 years. Why should I buy a hybrid and not the regular 4 cyl car? Oh I forgot to mention this is at 3 dollar gas prices. Oh and I don't really think that driving a hybrid is saving the earth. Help me out.

We have been toying with the idea of buying an electric car. There are two we have become interested in, the Gem and the Zap. They both run around $10,000 new and have about a 40MPH top speed with 25 mile charging life. Have you ever driven/rode in one? Are they worth it? Would we be better off looking into getting a hybrid?

This device claims to reduce pollution by 15% & fuel consumption by 5 to 15% by ensuring ionization & complete burning of fuel with +vely charged oxygen. If this really the case than why don't the Car manufactures provide it with the car ?

I bought a CNG car and want to put a sign on it that says "No Gasoline Car". Even though gasoline is not a gas, is CNG a gasoline?

In 1965 I saw our new vehicle for all military services at the US Army Transportation School in Fort Eustis, VA. The fuel was water. In 1975 when there was no fuel at the pump, I called the school to find out what happened to that vehicle and found that all traces had been removed. It is easy to see that the name of the game is to take money out of our pocket and put it in the pocket of oil people. Iraq is just a little expense of doing business ... with oil. Isn't there a crime here somewhere ??? Whom do we report it to ???

Well hydrogen seems to be the better choice because of the cheapness to produce since only electricity and water is needed for electrolysis. Wealthy individuals and large companies ( especially Exxon,the largest company in the world) fork out bundles of money for oil excavations in the ground, which aren't always successful; why can't they just create factories to produce hydrogen because it cheap? I realize that hydrogen is flammable and is in a gas form but people on the discovery channel say otherwise. Hydrogen is lighter than air causing it to dissipate.
So in the end why don't be have a economy based on hydrogen? Is it because we don't have a sufficient way to make hydrogen or to store it in cars or because people are scared of the fact that hydrogen is highly flammable or some other reason?

I have read that since there has been more talk of increasing the fuel mileage mandated by the government, that the oil companies have decided to limit the refining process of oil. This will limit the amount of fuel produced, and keep the price higher. Do you think we will see effective alternative fuels produced, and marketed well enough to put the squeeze on big oil?
