Solar Powered Cars By SolarCars on October 25‚ 2009 Cars that run on fossil fuels are still standard‚ but many would like to replace those diesel or gas engines with alternative fuels. One promising possibility is to develop solar powered cars. Although this is not yet a reality‚ prototypes have been built and proven to be functional and now many researchers are trying to find ways of using solar energy to power cars. Solar powered cars would have many advantages over those that run on fossil

Air Powered Car A compressed air car is a car that uses a motor powered by compressed air. The car can be powered solely by air‚ or combined (as in a hybrid electric vehicle) with gasoline‚ diesel‚ ethanol‚ or an electric plant with regenerative braking. History Compressed air has been used since the 19th century to power mine locomotives and trams in cities such as Paris (via a central‚ city-level‚ compressed air energy distribution system)‚ and was previously the basis of naval torpedo propulsion

THERMOELECTRIC POWERED CAR 1. AIM OF THE PROJECT This concept behind the project is thermoelectric generation that has been known from sometime‚ but the practical implementation of this concept is quite difficult. The idea behind this project is to make a Car that is powered by thermoelectric source‚ i.e. to build a car that moves with temperature difference. This concept has not been explored earlier but a lot of research can be done in this regard. We will be presenting a practically running

Electric Cars vs Gasoline Powered Cars Electricity. One word that can rescue the earth from its current demise‚ global warming. Since 1880‚ global warming has increased by 0.8° celsius which may not seem like a substantial increase but it is. According to (NASA 2014) the average weather changes everyday in different countries‚ but this is the entire world’s average temperature. A 1° global change is significant because it takes a colossal amount of heat to warm all the oceans‚ atmosphere‚ and land

Electric cars look very different under the hood than a gasoline-powered car. For one thing‚ there is a lot less tubing. For another‚ if you look underneath the hood of an electric car‚ one of the first things you will probably notice is the controller‚ which takes energy from the battery and distributes it to the motor in controlled packets. And that’s pretty much it in a nutshell. Instead of a gas tank‚ the electric car keeps its fuel in a battery and relies on the controller‚ not the distributor

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. They took
