SWOT analysis of Better Place Strengths: - E-car‚ you save money in the long run‚ - because it is way cheaper in the long run in comparison to gasoline. - Global impact‚ it is better for the environment. Weaknesses: - Complex infrastructure; It is difficult to manufacture and therefore build and provide costumer service for. - Expensive to manufacture – as it is a new technology‚ it is therefore difficult to manufacture‚ because it is a new concept. - no costumer base – because people

BIOFUELS "Biofuels" typically refer to fluid transportation fuels like ethanol‚ biogas and biodiesel that are made from biomass materials – but can include prepared solid biomass fuels. These fuels are: Often blended with the petroleum fuels - gasoline and diesel fuel‚ but they can also be used on their own. o Using ethanol or biodiesel means we don’t burn quite as much fossil fuel. Often more expensive than the fossil fuels that they replace but they are also cleaner burning fuels‚ producing

bigger part in your decision. Diesel engines usually have a better fuel economy rating because of the way they don’t waste fuel during combustion unlike the gas-powered counterparts. The combustion of a Diesel engine is just like the combustion of a gasoline engine but in a diesel it’s a little bit different. Diesel engines do not have spark plugs to ignite the fuel; it uses

Denny Klein also said that the electrolysis process is natural and that no other gas can or will do this. His invention is drawing attention worldwide. “Microsoft started from a small garage‚ why not HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGY?” His company is developing a gasoline-water hybrid hummer for the US military. The technology is still undergoing independent tests. The company managers predict that it will hit the market in two years. In1995‚ another guy named Stanley Meyer claimed to invent a water-powered car working

Advanced Hypothesis Testing Paper Five business students‚ with a University of Phoenix learning team‚ noticed the recent increases of regular unleaded gasoline prices. The students hypothesized the gas prices consumed from corporate stations are not the same price as if purchased from a generic station in a grocery store parking lot‚ with a confidence interval of 90%. The research team decided to limit the current research to the Houston‚ Texas area. The students would take a sample‚ in the natural

ME 496ALT‚ L. S. Caretto‚ Spring 2009 Page 1 1. Problem 7.2 in text. Estimate the rate at which energy flows from a gasoline pump to a motor vehicle during a “fill-up”. Express your answer in kW. If this rate of energy delivery were electric power‚ roughly how many people would it serve assuming a typical US residential community? Assume: the HHV of 1 gallon of gasoline is 145‚000 Btu; 5 minutes for filling up a 16 gallon tank; and a 1 GW(e) electrical plant serves a residential community

petition congress for money to fund alternative fuel research ("Renewable Fuels"). Currently the EPA is fighting to regulate the benzene levels in gasoline by calling for legislation that pushes the levels of benzene lower than they have even been before ("Renewable Fuels"). Benzene has been found to be one of the leading reasons why the burn off of gasoline is so toxic to our environment. However‚ the money is never enough and once enacted‚ even less money is spent to enforce these laws. The states

have been on the rise. However whenever they drop‚ car dealerships can see a rise in sales for small SUVs and other large trucks. Now with our new technology advancements on electric cars‚ electricity may prove to be a better source or power than gasoline at a certain price. The Nissan Leaf has an shocking 73 miles for every charge on its 24 kilowatt-hour battery‚ given that 3.3 miles per kilowatt-hour of charge. Charging the car’s battery at the current cost‚ it averages about $2.97 in electricity
