Hi guys, I am doing a research paper for my school on Ethanol. However, my main interest is ultimately hydrogen and wind. Part of the paper I am gathering...
Hello High Efficiency Vehicles group, Jessica Biegelson here. I'm the Clean Vehicles intern for the Union of Concerned Scientists. I've been researching...

I am looking for an inexspensive single or twin diesel motor. I found a few from China. To be honest that makes me a bit nervous. Poss. one from a small...
Keep an eye on your local state surplus auctions. Very often, especially the forestry divisions, they will use small diesel powered mowers. One of my friends...
Hi Jessica - The website is definitely well laid out and professional. The links show an excellent range of viewpoints and sources, all of which seem credible....
A good place for information: www.utterpower.com I am actually looking for one myself. Listeroids or Changfas are the bests (for the Listeroids, it depends who...
I hardly think that a 3Kw 600 lbs engine would have it's place on this website... we're not talking about putting a generator in the barn to power the...
I do beleave that is more along the lines of what I am looking for. 5.5 may ba a little small, but the price is right. I will check out the sight. Thank you...
The 600lbs design is the 7.5KW, not the 3KW, and it includes the generator head. The engine itself weights 390lbs. The engine in the 3KW setup weights 133lbs. ...
Andre: Fantastic article!! Especially if you really, really like Citroens... Also very topical, in that some form of active suspension becomes more and more...
I counted 5 errors of fact or omission on a very brief scan through the article. The most serious is that he suggests you won't need to change your camber...

Is there a solution to (brainwashed?) public's antipathy towards ZPV's? Having attended electric vehicle and CarFree festivals recently I am wondering if...
As I myself am apathetic toward ZPV's, maybe it would be useful to look into why. Here'd be my list: 1.) First, terminology. I'm not familiar with the term...
Some good questions there. Check out "well to wheel" efficiencies. The results are pretty depressing, particularly if you hold shares in a fuel cell company! ...
Well, when you recharge your ZEV (zero emissions vehicle), where does it come from and how is that energy being produced? Is your impact on the environmen...
Yah -- what seems to kill fuel cells is reformer efficiency. If a reformer is 30-40 percent efficient in converting a hydrocarbon fuel to hydrogen, combining...
... remember ... A perfectly sensible take on electric cars, but if you used the same technology (ie good aero design, light weight, good tires) for a diesel...
... Yes, my thoughts exactly. ALTHOUGH: It's interesting to see the overreaction of the American public over gas prices reaching the "unthinkable" level of...
First a bit of chemistry. When we burn coal we mainly create CO2. We get a caloric value of about 29 MJ/kg for good coal. The coal could be considered as being...
Ah - but for countries that don't abide by the Kyoto Protocol, there is no penalty for producing CO2. At least not at the moment. Perhaps this is why some coal...
Well done, both 1 and 2. Because the well to wheel efficieny is less, you need more hydrocarbon for a given energy at the wheel, and so you have to store the...
Well, um, why not just use a conventional IC engine? Other emissions? And, um, lemons? Meaning, you plant a lemon tree in your CO2 sequestration module? How...
"I built 3 atmospheric CO2 sequestration input modules last year, I get lemons from one of them." Hmmm....you had to build yours? I had one spontaneously...
What reason most interests you in converting to or using ethanol? Lower Fuel Price Benifit to National Security Benifit to Economy Benifit to Environment ...
