University of Waterloo Team Creates Hydrogen Car
2008-05-14 00:50:00
The University of Waterloo in Toronto, Ontario, Canada has recently been in the news for making a hydrogen-powered car. The team consisted of students, they created the car as part of the final year of the Challenge X. Challenge X is a competition that lasts for three years that challenged seventeen teams to re-engineer a GMC Equinox, the most recent challenge ended in 2007. The team at the University of Waterloo is known as the Alternative fuels team. The group of students showcased their re-engineered car at Direct Energy Center at Exhibition Place in Toronto. The team was the first to create this alternative fuel car and it is all due to their cutting edge technology. The car basically runs on water and emits no fumes; in fact the end result is water. This makes the car very environmentally friendly, and by using water to power it's engine high gas prices my soon be a thing of the past. The University of Waterloo is the only University that was chosen outside of the United State...

Bioethanol: How Bioethanol Fits Into The New Environmentally Friendly Indus
2008-04-23 00:42:00
Bioethanol is a fully sustainable energy source that has been extracted from renewable raw materials like starch plants including corn, wheat and cassava, sugar plants including beets and can and some cellulose plants which come from trees. Bioethanol is well burning fuel that does not contain nay harmful particles, is much better than its gasoline counterpart and reduces overall air pollution which is good for the environment.Bioethanol is being produced through the hydrolysis and sugar fermentation processes. It requires diluted enzymes and sulphuric acids which help to break down the cellulose and hemicelluloses in order to produce sucrose sugar which is in turn fermented into ethanol.Closely connected to biodiesel, bioethanol is a liquid biofuel and can be added to standard unleaded gasoline at levels of up to 5% and can be used in cars currently on the road. By replacing bioethanol for fossil fuels, emissions from fossil fuels are avoided and Co2 levels are reduced because the ...

Ethanol-gasoline's smart younger brother
2008-04-13 17:15:00
With an ever increasing demand for useable energy, almost every compound imaginable has been studied for use to replace petroleum products. As oil wars are waged the world over and greenhouse gases threaten to destroy the ozone layer once and for all; it has become high time that we diverted our attention toward sustainable, renewable, and safe sources of useable energy. No substance may have more potential towards fulfilling our need for a renewable yet clean source of energy than ethanol. What exactly is ethanol? If you have never heard of the term, you probably have still seen it inadvertently on a store shelf or in a cooler. Why? Because ethanol is the scientific name for common alcohol. That is right, the alcohol that makes up the alcohol portion of all alcoholic drinks is ethanol. Ethanol is also known as drinking alcohol or grain alcohol. It is referred to as grain alcohol because grain is typically what is used to make ethanol. Grain isn’t the only thing that ...

Biobutanol-Fuel of potential
2008-04-03 00:39:00
During this age of a world on the verge of energy crisis, rising fuel prices and oil wars, any breakthrough in fuel and energy sources is a welcome breath of fresh air. Alongside biodiesel, biobutanol may be the holy grail in alternative fuel systems. What is biobutanol and why does it have the potential to revolutionize the alternative fuel industry? Read on to find out. Biobutanol, like ethanol, is an alcohol. The difference between butanol and ethanol is that ethanol has 2 carbons in its backbone while butanol has 4 carbons. Butanol that originates from biomass, or organic matter is referred to as biobutanol as opposed to petrobutanol which originates from petroleum. The reason biobutanol is hailed to have tremendous potential in helping end our world energy crisis is the fact that certain bacteria, particularly strains of clostridium have the unique ability to digest all types of organic matter into a mixture of acetone, butanol, and ethanol. More recently through a p...

Biodiesel-fuel for the 21st Century
2008-03-26 23:41:00
In this new age where fuel is the most precious commodity available, it is time that mankind turned to a more efficient, safer, cleaner, renewable fuel for use in our massively transportation dependent society. The answer to a century of wars over oil and the horrendous aftermath thereof are simply, in one word - biodiesel. Biodiesel has been around for over a century, but only recently has the world awakened to a need for fuels at any cost that will not destroy our already fragile ecosystem, and you will soon know why the whole world should be excited. Biodiesel was first synthesized back in 1893 before the first diesel engine was even developed. Biodiesel is essentially oil of any type-be it animal fat or vegetable oil that has been reacted with an alcohol in a process called transesterification. The chemical name of the results of this reaction is mono-alkyl ester or biodiesel, and glycerol-common glycerin. Biodiesel can be used as an alternative to petrodiesel in more a...

Exploring the Ins and Outs of Gasoline
2008-03-20 00:02:00
As the prices of gas continues to rise in the 21st century, motorists are yearning for the days when the substance that powered their cars cost less than $1 or even closer to $2. The demand for this influential resource has been outweighing the supply long before war broke out in the Middle East. The constant consumption of regular, leaded, unleaded, and now diesel fuel has placed a huge strain on reserves, which has caused prices to reach new heights. The elevated cost of gasoline has greatly impacted the United States, as well as the rest of the world. The current energy crisis has forced scientists to seek out innovative ways of supplying energy and has encouraged consumers to find other methods of preserving fuel, such as riding a bicycle to work or purchasing electric cars.In the future, the use of gas alternatives may gain more attention, especially since the following methods are less damaging to the environment: biodiesel, biobutanol, hydrogen fuel, ethanol, and bioethanol. ...

Hydrogen Fuel Cells: Cars Of The Future
2008-03-10 23:37:00
Imagine a world where you don't have to pay $3 to drive twenty or thirty miles, where trucks belching diesel smoke are unheard of, where you can walk down the road without inhaling the fumes of a thousand vehicles, where thousands of cars pass you and you hear nothing but a gentle hum and whoosh, and you have an idea of where hydrogen fuel cells will be taking us. Fuel cells were invented in 1839 by Sir William Grove, who figured out that you could separate hydrogen and oxygen from water through hydrolysis, and suggested that the procedure could be reversed to create clean energy, with a by-product of water. Back then, it was called the gas voltaic battery; only in 1889 did it get the name fuel cell.How Hydrogen Fuel Cells WorkLike batteries, fuel cells use chemical processes without combustion to create energy with a clean by-product. Because they do not work with the process of combustion, fuel cells never have partly used components, and therefore do not produce poisonous by-pro...
