Unpredictable neighbour

Caught by Nature

No one can deny the fact that we depend on nature for fossil fuels and other resources, pulling out whatever we can for our benefit. Our cars from the long back are at mercy of nature even though many eco-friendly cars were introduced which used the natures gift to some extent.

But now the nature seems to be more generous to provide what ever it can. Shows that there exists a bonding !! But this bonding would be rather harmful to us most of the time when nature fails to cope with us.

Cars With Cool Interior And Solar Reflective Glazing

September 14, 2009 in Green cars, New Cars

Cool Cars

In 2006, California implemented the California Global Warming Solutions Act, also known as AB 32. This law formed a comprehensive, long term plan for California to lessen greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Cool Paints was recognized as an Early Action strategy, to be in place no later than January 1, 2010. This strategy is based on actions to reduce the solar heat gained by a vehicle parked in the sun. A cooler interior would make drivers less possibly to activate the air conditioner, which enhances carbon dioxide emissions.

Potential approaches comprise reformulation of paint to reflect near-infrared sunlight, parked car ventilation, and solar reflective window glazing. It is predicted that cool paints, together with reflective glazing, will reduce the saturate temperature of the typical vehicle parked in the sun by 5 to10 degrees Celsius.

Mountain Dew the Next Gen. Fuel for Cars?

August 20, 2009 in Green cars

Ready to Fuel?

In one aspect the car manufacturers are trying their best to produce cars with the green mark on�them and on the other hand this man named Paul Patone�was researching on something else which proved�that there are a variety of alternative fuels to cars other than gasoline,air or solar.

�� The Utah-based Inventor Paul Patone born in 1987 April 18 has created the GEET (Global Environmental Energy Technology) Fuel Processor. It is a�mode which allows you to run your car on 80% water. Isn’t it shocking?

Lets ask Paul Patone what he�says:

” You need to have about 20-25 percent hydrocarbon. Then you can add the Mountain Dew to it or whatever you want to add,” he said.

Patone�said:�” I haven’t invented the engine; all i’ve invented is the fuel delivery system. And this system will fit a gas engine,a diesel engine, a furnace, a boiler, it will fit anything including� jet turbines”

The GEET fuel processor�cuts emissions by 90% and perhaps prove to be economical.

Mercedes Blue-Zero E-Cell

August 20, 2009 in Auto News, Green cars

Stylish, compact and elegant

�

Trendy back view

�During the Detroit auto show 2009, Mercedes introduced another planet friendly car called blue-zero e-cell car. It measures just 4.22 meters in length and combines the compact exterior dimensions with a generously propotioned, variable interior and luggage compartment.

Its not the prettiest car ever but will contribute less to the pollution which is the need of this era. With the full tank of gas and fully charged lithium batteries,�it will go 373 miles before stopping.

The Power Of Three-all unique

Based on a single vehicle architecture, this intelligent, modular concept allows three models with different drive configurations, all of which meets the customer requirements in terms of sustainable mobility.

-the Blue-Zero E-Cell with Battery-electric drive and a range of upto 200 kilometres using electric drive alone.

-the Blue-Zero F-Cell (fuel) with a range of�over 400 kilometres using electric drive.

-the Blue-Zero E-Cell PLUS with electric drive and additional internal combustion engine as the power generator.

Zero Pollution Motors MDI Air Car

August 14, 2009 in Green cars

air car by MDI

This car is a hybrid which operates on compressed air alone under 35 mph, and uses gasoline to compress more air above 35 mph.

The company claims their air car is “the world�s cleanest car” with “half the CO2 per mile as�a Toyota Prius” at speeds over 35 mph.� However, both of these claims are based on just the gasoline emissions and ignore the emissions associated with compressing the air in the first place.

Over those 848 miles, it’s also accountable for the 22 kWh of energy required replacing the compressed air.�So how much CO2 is associated with that energy?� Well, of course�it depends where you get it from.

According to the EPA, the average CO2 emissions from power production in the US are 1.363 lbs/kWh. So on average, you’re creating 30 lbs of CO2 emissions over those 848 miles, or a further 0.035 lbs/mile for a total of 0.176 lbs/mile of CO2.� This is almost half the CO2 emissions associated with a Toyota Prius.

If the compressed air is powered by a more environmentally friendly energy source, it will produce even lower emissions.� For example, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E)�in California produces 0.52 lbs CO2 per kWh, which would bring the ZPM down to 0.155 lbs/mile of CO2.
