Energy in the form of fossil fuels‚ can it meet all of society’s needs or is it time for us to look at other alternatives before it is too late? The increasing pollution and price of energy has once again ignited the debate about options for future energy. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon deposits also known as coal‚ crude oil and gas derived from the remains of organic prehistoric plants and animals. They have taken many millions of years to form. Coal is ground to a fine dust when crushed and

SEMINAR REPORT ON FUEL ENERGIZER Fuel energizer 2 www.techalone.com ABSTRACT In this era of increasing fuel prices‚ here a device called ‘FUEL ENERGIZER’ help us to Reduce Petrol /Diesel /Cooking gas consumption up to 28%‚ or in other words this would equal to buying the fuel up to 28% cheaper prices. When fuel flow through powerful magnetic field created by Magnetizer Fuel Energizer‚ The hydrocarbons change their orientation and molecules in them change their configuration. Result: Molecules

Without fossil fuels‚ the industrial revolution would not have had as much of an impact making United States what it is today. However‚ we as a country are facing very real problems that we must have to address quickly. We are running out of fossil fuels‚ and soon we will not have fossil fuels to power

Introduction Fossil Fuels are the most important energy sources in our world today. The overwhelming majority of the huge amount of energy used in the world comes from the burning of three major fossil fuels: coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy‚ and there is no other . They are formed over a very long period of time; the fossil fuels on earth today were formed from plants and animals that lived up to 300 million years ago. These fossil fuels are found in deposits

Biodiesel Fuel The biggest problem the United States faces today when we talk about becoming energy independent is replacing the gas we use to power our vehicles. When we talk about replacing gasoline as the fuel we use to power our vehicles‚ biomass‚ hydrogen‚ and fuel cells are the three most talked about alternatives. Biomass‚ which is organic material made from plants and animals‚ contains stored energy from the sun. Biomass in the form of bio fuels can be used to make the same products

Various types of Fuel Cells and their working By : Divykant Vishwakarma 03996404910 EEE 2nd shift S.No. 14 Fuel Cell A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another oxidizing agent. Hydrogen is the most common fuel‚ but hydrocarbons such as natural gas and alcohols like methanol are sometimes used. Fuel cells are different from batteries in that they require a constant source of fuel and oxygen/air

THE DEPLETION OF FOSSIL FUELS By Zoe Noonan Introduction As the world is becoming more advanced in technology‚ more energy is being used to keep up with the changing requirements. At the current rate at which energy is being used‚ the world will shortly come to an end of fossil fuels- the world’s primary energy resource. Abstract This research paper outlines the problems being faced by the shortage of fossil fuels‚ the effects they are having on the environment and the possible substitutes

the key sources of energy means; fossil fuels are being depleted in a rapid mode which reflects that we need to concentrate over alternative sources of energy that could also prove to be eco-friendly. But‚ before discussing that it should be better to have an idea about the current scenario and where we are standing today in context of availability of energy resources. At present‚ approximately 80 percent of the energy used by us is supplied via fossil fuels which are called non-renewable energy
