Fuel from bacteria, green future of transport




Scientists discover new and new ways of producing fuels, but unfortunately few come to be widely used, where, despite the promotion of cars "green", are preferred as solutions grown.


Rage in terms of bio-fuels is the technology to synthesize it by "recycling" of carbon dioxide.




How is it possible? Using a genetically modified bacteria that consume the gas and converts it into liquid.

The reaction occurs through photosynthesis, without the intervention of specialized devices - need only pure solar energy.

Researchers say that this method is less costly than other ways of obtaining fuel, such as the plant.








Mathematical formula for perfect side parking

Those who hold a driving license I know what side and what a car can be difficult when space is limited.
Britain's Vauxhall Motors hired him as a professor of mathematical formula to find the minimum distance between cars in a car that can park sideways.

We invite you so admire below and decide if it worthwhile save.


r - radius of circle
L - wheelbase
k - distance between front axle and the front of the machine
w - width of the car park behind which

The formula gives the minimum length required parking space, in addition to the length of the private car.
The only known remains behind which the width of the vehicle park, but a roulette can easily stay in glove compartment.

In practice, no one standing to measure a car, make a very quick calculation and then decide if there is parking in that area.
Yet no one prevents you from doing some indicative calculations.

Cool Rider


At $ 1250, New Rider's not exactly cheap, but let's be less serious (as far as we can), the motorized wheel that can be used in a pair of rolls or platorma included, is just great.

Cool Rider is an electric motor whose battery charging outlet quickly to ensure a common and autonomy of about an hour away by speed of 20 km / h.

Now, with congestion Maine towns, just would be nice also a shift in the office ...

Air Board


We do not know how others are, but frankly we have not thought so far to it.
Air Board is a miniature hovercraft, capable of running on concrete, grass or mud, with a maximum speed of 25 km / h.
Two handles control the throttle and brake, direction being changed by simply bending the body. Unfortunately, the Air Board can not walk on water or sand.
And unfortunately, the price is $ 14,000, but the invention of the law that's surprising ...

Grace E-Bike


Grace E-bike is simply a miracle of cycling. It has components that are found in Formula 1 or fighter aircraft.

The engine barely be seen but it can propel the vehicle with a top speed of 65 km / h.
Grace E-bike is simply a miracle of cycling. It has components that are found in Formula 1 or fighter aircraft.
The engine barely be seen but it can propel the vehicle with a top speed of 65 km / h. Unfortunately for Li-ion 1300 watt ensure autonomy of only 48 kilometers, an hour after loading. Grace E-bikes will be marketed starting in January next year, at a price of $ 8750.

Daimler wants to launch a hydrogen car


German car manufacturer Daimler is working on a project on building a car that uses hydrogen as fuel.

Technology has a low environmental impact and the car to be launched in 2015. "The price of this vehicle would be close to that of a diesel hybrid model," said Herbert Kohler, Daimler's research director.

To move to mass production of such vehicles, Daimler must reduce the amount of platinum, about 60 grams, needed to build this engine.

Thus, until the launch of the company intends to use to reach approximately 10 grams of platinum in each engine.

Vehicles using fuel cell technology competitive with that of hybrid cars, emitting only water and heat.

Salt water as a fuel???

An inventor accidentally discovered that salt water can be used as a fuel, energy invention that promises almost unlimited abundance of the raw material of earth, sea water.
John Kanzius from Erie, Pennsylvania, made a somewhat shocking discovery while working on a generator of radio waves which has developed as an alternative method of treatment of cancer. Trying to desalinizeze sea water using radio waves from this event, the observed small flames, and soon, with minor modifications, he managed to obtain the salt water burning like a candle in a test tube.
The explanation apparently is that radio waves from the generator or weaken chemical bonds in salt water and releases hydrogen, which burns the fact.
Combustion occurs at very high temperatures of over 1600 degrees Celsius.
Results were confirmed by an independent chemist, Rustum Roy, from Penn State University, who responded did a little experiment and demonstration. According to Roy, it would most remarkable discovery in the last 100 years in water science.
It remains to be seen which is effective this technology as an energy source, but remains a remarkable discovery and a huge potential.

Here you have a video with the inventor and salt water that burns:

Lamborghini More Environmentally

Lamborghini to become a more environmentally friendly in terms of carbon emissions, the company announced that production will reduce carbon emissions by 15% by 2015.
Representatives Lamborghini began fighting carbon time of the Gallardo LP 560-4 model, this model introduced last year on the issue with 18% less gas.

Italian company representatives do not stop here, they want to improve combustion engines also have to manufacture cars of material easier and use of biofuels and hybrid solutions.

Moreover, the automobile factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy, is building a central sun which will reduce CO2 emissions from the production machines, 20% by 2010.

After the construction of 17,000 square meters will be ready, roof plant will produce about 1600 megawatts of solar energy per year.

To achieve maximum benefit of this project, the roof will be insulated against heat and cold.

All respect for this company that even tries to become more ecological,this example would be followed by all the companies producing cars.

The Hummer that consumes 2.5 liters per 100 km, Chevy Volt

The Chevy Volt think healthy (organic).

Americans have found a solution to not give the Hummer because of high fuel consumption. Thus in the enclosed pictures you can see the Hummer H3, which consumes approximately 2.5 liters per cent kilometers.

The car is still in prototype stage, propulsion being developed by Raser Technologies Hummer in partnership with General Motors.





How can a car so large to consume so little?

The machine uses an electric motor whose batteries are charged by an internal combustion engine, propulsion is similar to that of the Chevrolet volt.

Internal combustion engine is used exclusively to load batteries and the propulsion of the vehicle.

The electric propulsion develop approximately 200 kW and are transmitted as the front wheels and the rear.
Bin speed manual is in 4 steps.





By charging the batteries outlet ensure autonomy of 40 miles that is 64 km, after the batteries are download engine ii load again providing an autonomy of 400 miles that is 643 km.











Under the hood is a GM Turbo engine with four cylinders, similar to that used in the Pontiac Solstice GXP.
The engine runs a generator that loads three sets of lithium-ion batteries "super-polymer (provided by Electrovaya Canada).
Two of them are mounted on the side of the car and the third is in the back. Batteries store 41 kWh.
The car is in the prototype stage, the company Chevy Volt have already 12000 of commands.
From 2011 the car will be produced in series

Event, Event next month .... ECO F3

Do you believe that someone could build a car plant products only?Well no need to think because it was made and go with chocolate, it will also reach speeds of 200 km / h over 145 miles.Vegetable fibers are combined with resins to produce parts and components of machine oil in chocolate is refined to produce fuel.Manufacturers and hoped to convince the Formula 1 champions to take and also do not look like a slow car but as an environmentally friendly car.Gear is in carrots, potatoes and heads of chairs soia.Uleiurile plant are used as lubricants and engine biodisel is able to work with chocolate and vegetable oil.It is the first racing car created and produced from renewable materials.
