Mountain Dew Water Vapor
1,257 words
Why are we as Americans so afraid to change? even
if it is a change for the better? the world has
been using oil coal and other petroleum products
to power just about everything that moves for the
last 150 years. yet most cars in the united states
only get 10 - 20 miles a gallon and even the
"good" ones can get only a petty 20 - 50 miles a
gallon. so why do we put up with the inefficiency
when there are far better alternatives out there?
Such as hydrogen, which was discovered hundreds of
years a...

... slightly negative and the other end of it is
slightly positive. The Dispersion forces exist
between non-polar molecules. Dispersion forces are
another of van der Waals' three forces. They exist
between non-polar molecules. It is important to
remember that within a bond, electrons are
constantly MOVING. They zoom around the atoms
really quickly. As a result, there may be a tiny
instant in that time span where the electrons
happen to dominant on one side, rather than the
other. However, this t...

Nuclear Reaction Naked Eye

STARS A star is a large celestial body composed of
gravitationally contained hot gases giving off
electromagnetic radiation, especially light. The
sun is actually a star. Unlike the sun the stars
seem to be fixed, but in fact stars are in rapid
motion, but their distances are so great no
relative changes can be seen with the naked eye.
The sun is a typically star, with a visible
surface called a photosphere, which an atmosphere
of hot gases, and above them an outlawing stream
of particles called...

Hydrogen And Oxygen Combustion Engines

Hard to believe that the simplest atom in the
universe is used in the making of the most
destructive weapon known to man isnt it? Well so
is the fact that it will soon (we hope) become the
replacement for petroleum-based fuels, and just
about every other form of fuel too. One electron
orbiting one proton is all that hydrogen is, and
it is mankind's future. It is easy to manufacture,
(although the government says otherwise, ) safe
and easy to store, and has only one by-product
water. The way that...

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...

Concept Cars: Automobiles for the Future No one
knows where automobiles are going but concept cars
provide us with a small window to look into their
future. Different automakers use concept cars in
various ways and they all devote a lot of time and
money toward developing their cars of the future.
The first thing an automaker does is decide what
kind of market (what age group, what style of
driving) it should target to gain the most
customers. For instance, Ford builds mainly
vehicles which targ...

Surface Of The Water Hydrogen Bonds

Water is the most important substance in our
evolution and our daily lives. Without water, life
as we know it would not have been possible. This
essay will examine the water molecule in order to
ascertain how it brought about Earths thriving
ecosystem and how important it is to us today.
Each water molecule consists of one oxygen atom
and two hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom (or the
apex of the water molecule) bears a slight
electronegative charge while hydrogen possesses a
more positive one 1 (f...

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...

The Potential Markets Hydrogen ANALYSIS The
Potential Markets For Non-Fossil Fuel Hydrogen?
Hydrogen, most of it produced from fossil fuels,
is already widely used in the chemicals industry,
notably in the manufacture of fertilizers and
petrochemicals. It would therefore be possible to
substitute NFFH in this market. However, the total
that could be absorbed by 2040 is unlikely to
represent more than about 3 % of current total
world energy demand. ? NFFH could be used to
satisfy much of the dema...

Naturally Occurring Hydrogen Occurring Hydrogen One

Hydrogen is the Hydrogen Hydrogen Hydrogen is the
first element that can be found on the periodic
table. It has only one electron and one energy
level. Having only one proton and one electron
causes it to be very light in weight. The British
scientist Henry Cavendish is given credit with
discovering hydrogen in 1766, but studies show
that German-Swiss alchemist Paracelsus in the 16
th had handled it first. It gets its name from the
words hud Xr, meaning water, and german, meaning
generate, thus ...

The Hydrogen Bomb Essay submitted by Anonymous
Thesis Statement The hydrogen bomb is a nuclear
weapon in which light atomic nuclei of hydrogen
are joined together in an uncontrolled nuclear
fusion reaction to release tremendous amounts of
energy. The hydrogen bomb is about a thousand
times as powerful as the atomic bomb, which
produces a nuclear fission explosion about a
million times more powerful than comparably sized
bombs using conventional high explosives such as
TNT. The Hydrogen Bomb The ...
