Alternative Fuel Vehicles

Are Hybrid autos truly envonromentally friendly? What happens to all those depleted batteries when they hit the landfills? Can they be completely and safely recycled?

i have a car that runs on regular gas...
it is an suv type of car and i am not looking forward to having it guzzle my money away.
so i want to look into converting it to bio fuel.
ive been looking things up and all i am finding is info about converting diesel cars into biodiesel...
so i am wondering how to do it for a non-diesel car.

I know the car company's are trying to find ways to make cars run on alternative fuels such as water. Do you think this is entirely possible and if it is when do you think it will be on the market for consumers. The next few decades?

I read these people in here, talking about the energy required to produce Ethanol compared to gasoline, and they have no idea what there talking about. Same goes for using up all the food sources. Polution rates at Ethanol plants. Cost...and so on. I really wish these people would get there facts together then make a argument rather than repeating someones fabrications.

Or, should I say 160-180 proof ethanol that comes from a still.
Efectivly replacing the gasoline of E85 with water. I can make anhydrous ethanol, but would rather eliminate the dehydrating step.

hey there,

i remember watching history channel a month or so ago about environmental tech...they got to electric cars and showed some homemade ones...one guy had 20+ batterys (dunno if they were 'car' batteries, but they were same sized.) and hooked them to an electric motor and it worked great...he had a homemade charger that charged his car in 5-8 hours....his car could zip too...I just want to know more about it and im sure with that idea you can make a hybrid with less batteries to acheive 40+mpg....

iv googled for info but all i get is really crummy sites
anyone know of any good ones for LOTS of info?

we are supposed to have hydrogen stations all over the US within 10 years, and with this device we don't need any infrastructure, so why don't we already have these everywhere?

If the Indonesian Rainforests are being cut down to make way for the production of corn for bio fuels, and the burning off of stubble is throwing more CO2 into the atmosphere in one day than the UK throw up in a year, then what contribution are bio fuels making to saving the World from global warming?

I recently did some research on the new Honda FCX vehicle. In looking at the layout of the car i noticed that, in the rear, there is a tank of highly compressed hydrogen. Obviously this is necessary for a fuel cell to function but, in the event of a fire or a crash wouldn't this be similar to the Hindenburg? Is the gasoline tank of an ordinary car as prone to explosion? Would tanks of comparable size produce a similar explosion or would the hydrogen tank be even more volatile?

Assuming you were in the market for a new car, would you consider one of these electric cars?

Available in October 2008, the Aptera typ-1e will cost $26,900 with a top speed of 95 mph and range of 120 miles per charge.

Soon thereafter Aptera will introduce the typ-1h, a plug-in hybrid version of the typ-1e with a 40-60 mile range on purely electrical energy for around $30,000. On a 120 mile trip, the typ-1h will get 300 miles per gallon. The shorter the trip, the higher the efficiency.
