advances require more efficient sources of power. At the forefront of research for these power sources are hydrogen fuel cells. This power source takes in the most abundant element in the universe‚ Hydrogen‚ and yields immense power without combustion or pollution. The three aspects of this scientific breakthrough are the fuel cells‚ hydrogen production‚ and hydrogen storage. Fuel cells are the devices with which Hydrogen is made into electricity. These use a technology much similar to that of

Advantages and Disadvantages of Renewable Fuels Solar Energy: Advantages: -Energy is free although there is a building cost. -Causes no pollution‚ however‚ energy may go into machines that produce pollution. -Solar energy can be used in remote areas where it is too expensive to extend the electricity power grid. -Estimated that the worlds oil reserves will last for 30-40 years whereas solar energy is infinite. Disadvantages: -Solar energy can only be harnessed when it is daytime

Energy and Fossil Fuels January 30‚ 2012 I will be covering different types of energy and how they are converted into other forms of energy. I will also discuss what fossil fuels are‚ alternatives to fossil fuels and the advantages and disadvantages of alternatives. There are several different forms of energy and how it can be converted from one type to another. According to The Law of Conservation of Energy; energy can neither be created or destroyed‚ only transferred

Bill Kozel Ms. Livingston English Comp 2 18 September 2012 Alternative Fuels in America On a national average the world uses 87.8 million barrels of crude oil on a daily basis. In 2000 it was estimated that the US alone consumed nearly 20 million barrels of oil a day‚ which is about 5% more than similar nations (Friedman 195). Oil consumption is only going to increase until it peaks‚ then it will steadily decrease as oil supply goes down. It is predicted that oil consumption will peak by the year

Fuel is one of the important resources in our society. We use the fuels to support our living‚ produce electricity‚ heat homes‚ and operate machinery. Since the fuel is a limited resource‚ the fuel scarcity will be a big issue in the future. The price of the gasoline is currently on the rise. NASCAR cut the volume of fuel cell from twenty gallons to thirteen gallons each car. There is a high demand for a new energy. After the issue of fuel crisis was brought up‚ the society started to be interested

DIGITAL FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR ABSTRACT Imagine this. You are on a highway and suddenly your vehicle stops. To your horror‚ you find that you are out of fuel. You check the fuel indicator and find that it has gone repair and is pointing to a higher value on the scale. This is a major shortcoming of the ANALOG FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR. This drawback can be redressed by simply switching the indicator to DIGITAL type. Our project deals on this mechanism and helps to explain the process which can be
