... ironically enough, oil refining. But hydrogen,
like gasoline, must be manufactured: it bonds so
easily with other elements that it doesn't exist
naturally on Earth in pure form. The trouble is
that while gasoline is sold in 200, 000 filling
stations across the US, the hydrogen
infrastructure is minuscule. The result is a
chicken-and-egg dilemma: What manufacturers will
market hydrogen-powered cars if hydrogen isn't
available to drivers? What hydrogen producers will
build more plants if hydro...

Diesel Engines High Pressure

Early work Rudolf web a German engineer, conceived
the idea for the engine that now bears his name
after seeking a device to increase the efficiency
of the Otto engine. Diesel realized that the
electric ignition process of the gasoline engine
could be eliminated if, during the compression
stroke of a piston-cylinder device, compression
could heat air to a temperature higher than the
auto-ignition temperature of a given fuel. Diesel
proposed such a cycle in his patents of 1892 and
1893. Originall...

Alternative Vehicle Fuel Sources

Alternative Vehicle Fuel Sources For last years
there is a tendency to increasing the number of
vehicles in the United States. According to
National Household Travel Survey this number
tripled from 1969 to 2001. The same tendency is
noticed in other progressive countries. Almost all
of them use hydrocarbon fuels. But the sources of
hydrocarbon fuels will come to end; and, most of
all, carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions causes global
warming. Hydrocarbon fuels, such as coal and
natural gas, are burn...

the earliest days of the automotive industry
alternative fuels have always competed with
petroleum for powering vehicles. Nicholas Cugnot
made the first self-powered road vehicle in 1769
with a steam engine, and the first gasoline
automobile didnt appear until over 100 years later
from Karl Benz. Through the late 19 th and early

Evironmentalism: The Next Step Broad Social Change
Through Personal Commitment Introduction In the
last thirty years, America has witnessed an
environmental revolution. New laws like the 1963
Clean Air Act and the 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act
forged new ground in political environmentalism.
Social phenomena like Earth Day, organized by
Dennis Hayes in 1970, and the beginning of
large-scale recycling, marked by Oregon's 1972
Bottle Bill, have help change the way Americans
think about the environm...

The purpose Fuel Cells Abstract: The purpose of
this paper is to inform you why fuel cells are a
good source of energy. In principle a fuel cell
operates like a battery. Unlike batteries fuel
cells dont run down or require recharging. In the
first section the energy source will be defined
and described. The three sub-sections are; how
they work, current us, and the future of fuel
cells. In the second section the two criteria
chosen will be defined. The two criteria are
environmental friendliness...

Today many Americans face a lot of economical and
environmental challenges. There is pollution in
the air, water, and even lying on the ground all
around them. Oil and gasoline products derived
from petroleum are skyrocketing in price.
Brownouts and blackouts are occurring in heavy
power usage areas in the United States. What do
these problems all have in common; a common
solution: Fuel cell technology. A fuel cell is as
defined by Webster is an electrochemical generator

manufacturers has made drastic changes to improve
in its over all performance and ability. The
production of making a highly tuned car for higher
class all have one common goal: Fuel Efficiency. A
higher fuel efficiency level is achieved with the
finer cars that are produced in the masses each
year. The materials used overall weight,
aerodynamic design, and greater known information

gentlemen, is the future. But how is this
possible? With a device called a fuel cell. These
cells run primarily off of water, but can run from
many different fluids including methanol,
gasoline, and devel in a pinch. How do these fuel
cells work, and what impact will they have on the
future? In this century we have seen huge

source that is clean and renewable; solution of
this problem would be probably the most common
thing in our life WATER. Water consists of two
chemical elements, hydrogen and oxygen. Each
molecule of water consists of two hydrogen (H 2)
atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. Chemical binding
between these three atoms is very stable and
