i'm hoping to bring biodiesel to my town within a few years. it's a small town though, with a lot of trucks that run on diesel. my environmental club at school is really pushing for it, and i'd really like to bring it. any tips?

do you think we are not looking into as we should or is it a waste of time? will oil companies buy the patents to avoid accessibility and distribution?

So, I used to live in a congested area. I can kind of understand people who speed up to brake at the light, or else they feel they may never get anywhere (I always did, though I would coast along, and use less brake pad!)
Are there any other ways we can cut down on emissions and maybe save a little on gas? Of course, if everyone starts using less, the price may vary with that, and go up, because enough isn't sold... but at least we could cut back on environmental dangers.

I read in an old Wired Magazine that California is gearing up to create an infrastructure to allow cars that run on hydrogen to run on the road and have "filling stations" along the highway that runs north to south. How does the process of making energy from water for these cars work?

I was wondering if a regular car could run on hydrogen, I found out it is very easy to turn water into hydrogen, a 15 year boy did it as a science experiment with a nine volt battery and salt water.
I was thinking of using the 12 volt car battery maybe and filling the tank with saltwater run the electrodes into it and badaboom there we go Hydrogen fuel!

Since they run on gas and electricity, i know you put gas in it at the station, but how do you refuel the electric part?

The U.S. gets 50% of its electricity from coal.

India gets 70% of its electricity from coal.

China gets 80% of its electricity from coal.

Conversely, France gets 80% of its electricity from nuclear.

We could show China the way by shutting down our polluting coal-fired plants as soon as we have built the next generation nuclear plants to take their place.
We need to set a good example for India and China.

China is activating at least one new coal-fired plant every week!
They want to build 55 coal-fired plants per year for at least 5 years in a row.

We should also be building high-speed maglev rail networks all over the country in order to provide a viable alternative to air and highway travel.
With the latest in pre-stressed concrete structural components, we can build an elevated maglev rail system that will avoid the dangers and traffic disruptions associated with rail crossings of surface streets.

Texas and Wyoming are the worst offenders in coal emissions!

It's for a science project. I had to change topics to Hyprid cars. I need to know how widely they are used, which companies produce them, and which countries use them...

Please, it's really important!!

Also, refernces appriciated.

It is possible to transmit power wirelessly.

Why not take parking lots or other parking areas, and simply cover them with solar panels, then have "outlets" that beam any power to a car with a built in receiver that parks in that lot?

Any extra power left over can be piped into a city grid during the day when loads are at their peak, or if the power generated by the panels were insufficient, you could draw on the grid.

This would work with either full-electric or hybrid cars, and offer a unique way of charging without plugs or effort on the part of the driver. You park your car, turn it off and a sensing system does the rest.

i am planing on making a home made fuel cell for my truck to get uncle sam out the wallet and i would appreciate some help. first does the oxygen go into the carburator when runing a fuel cell or is it all hydrogen. second what is the bubbling process and how do i do it. third is it as simple as to put the negative and positive with a couple of stainless steal plates in water and straight to the carburator i know there are regulators involved but what am i regulating. How much power for a 5.6 liter v8 truck i will need .
finally what is the purpse of a dc pulse circut.

Does anybody have any experience of creating biofuel from oils (such as veg oil or anything recyclable?). If so where are good sources of instructions for creating it? How did you manage? Did it work?

Also, what are the rules (and laws) if any for creating this? How much does it sell for? Do you need licenses to sell fuel or is this classed as non dangerous?

All help appreciated.

Anyone know of any gas station chains that sell Ethanol-FFV fuel, and if so is it worth the purchase of a vehicle that takes this fuel.

I would like to convert to Bio Diesel and get a DIY kit to put in my work shed. Trouble is I live in Montana and it gets cold here in the winter (below freezing). I have heard that cold and bio diesel don't really agree with each other. Is there a tank heater available I could put on my vehicle's gas tank to keep the fuel warm enough to use? Would I also need a block heater?

I have been puzzling over this for a while.

There's a lot of research going into hydrogen storage methods, because storing enough hydrogen to compete with a good ol' gas tank is a major problem.

Then there is the problem of where you're going to get the hydrogen, how you're going to get it to a pump, etc.

Why mess around with this when we can just make all-electric cars? Wouldn't the money be better spent on battery research?

Thermodynamically, the loss of energy involved with hydrogen production, phase changes, chemical reactions in a fuel cell, fuel transportation, etc. make it impossible for hydrogen to beat a purely electric solution.

Electricity is easily distributed on existing networks and is a very efficient means of storing and using energy.

Anyone care to explain why so many people are big on hydrogen when we could be going straight for electric?
