the world run on? Can you imagine running your car on the most abundant thing in the universe? Hydrogen is the answer! Now with a little bit more refining it will be. Good morning fellow students today I will be talking about hydrogen powered vehicles. Firstly‚ some terms need definition.Hydrogen- a colourless‚ odourless‚ flammable gas which is the lightest and simplest of all known elements.Vehicle- A device or structure for transporting persons or things. Secondly‚ now to explain the ways

Throughout the years electric cars have always been behind gas powered vehicles. They have always been short on the side of performance and range. And most people want a vehicle that has lots of performance. America has opted for the more sporty and luxurious SUVs and trucks. These vehicles use a lot of gas to run‚ but are a way of American life. Electric cars did not start to become popular until the late 90’s‚ when the price of gas began to rise. In the beginning‚ electric cars were very slow.

launching its second Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) to the market - a hybrid version of Honda’s top selling vehicle‚ the Civic. The company’s first HEV‚ the two-seater Honda Insight coupe‚ was introduced to the U.S. in 1999. It experienced modest sales of 3‚788 units in 2000 and 5‚000 units in 2001 and retailed at a base price of approximately $19‚100. However‚ demand outstripped supply and consumers were forced to wait between one to two months for their vehicles. Honda anticipates that sales of

powered vehicles. One of the most popular option right now is a hybrid vehicle. The question that comes to mind is‚ are hybrid vehicles worth it? With record high gas prices due to the price of oil‚ most car owners out there have major concerns over their gas usage. Over the past ten years‚ the cost of gasoline has grown 250%! The price of oil has doubled since January of this year. The high prices of oil and gas is the driving factor for most of the people to trade their gas powered vehicles for hybrid

The Adoption of Electrically Powered Vehicles in the U.S. Date: 08-31-2013 The non-internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles consists of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV)‚ plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV)‚ single-fuel all electric vehicles (EV)‚ and fuel cell vehicles (FCV). Earlier attempts at non-ICE vehicles were faced with many challenges resulting in abandonment of research and development. General Motors (GM) discontinued the EV1 electric vehicle after investing about $1 billion in

modifications that are the main objective of the study. Compressed air filled by electricity using a compressor. The electricity requirement for compressing air has to be considered while computing overall efficiency. Nevertheless the compressed air vehicle will contribute to reducing a air pollution and tend to zero pollution level and promoting great environment. Main advantage of this engine is that no hydrocarbon fuel required means no combustion process is take place. HISTORY In fact‚ two centuries
