would no longer be dependent upon the middle east to provide for our oil needs. Hydrogen automobiles are the future for automobiles because of its many political‚ economical‚ and environmental benefits. Tabitha Benbrook argues that "We could change the cars so that they use energy more efficiently‚ and pollute less. This could be done by using hydrogen as a fuel"(page 1) In 1839‚ English inventor Sir William Grove reasoned from his experiments that it was possible for water to be split up into hydrogen

report explains how advantageous a hybrid car is and why conventional car should be replaced by hybrid car. Hybrid car is getting more popular and marketable because of its advantages. In essence‚ the report touches on the benefits of owning a hybrid car and some possible effects. The problems that arisen are environmental problems which catch the whole world’s attention‚ the prices and fuel are hiking up and the fuels are limited in supply. Therefore‚ hybrid cars are here to help people to overcome the

Hypothesis: If a car is involved in a crash‚ a domino effect of reactions will occur. Background: The modern day automobile is a very complex piece of machinery that has a lot to do with the world of physics. Like every great invention‚ there was a beginning. For the automobile this beginning was in 1769. Nicolas Cugnot‚ a Frenchmen inventing for the French Army‚ came up with was first self-propelled‚ steam engined‚ three wheeled cart that was said to go as fast as walking speed. The next

Compare and Contrast Essay Cars and Bikes Bikes and cars are two of the many ways of transportation. Both can be used to drive people to places they want to go to without walking. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. And each has its own type and standard of people as well as its different uses and forms. Not all the people could afford buying a car.

The development of driverless cars does not only focus on the realm of theoretical science like physics and mathematics but also involves the significant breakthrough in engineering fields including automatics‚ robotics‚ human intelligence‚ automotive engineering. In addition‚ it has the bright perspective in reality and potential strategic value as well. The driverless car‚ serving as the testing cradle or the ideal carrier of burgeoning innovations

definition of an automobile or car is defined as a wheeled vehicle that carries its own motor and transports passengers. Cars have been around for over one hundred years. When we look back on the history of cars‚ we find that there is not one single inventor that invented cars in one single day. The history of cars reflects an evolution of ingenuity‚ innovation‚ and change. The first universal car in America was created in 1908 by Henry Ford. After the first car was introduced‚ we have seen a

Solar powered cars have been said to be the future of renewable transportation and that they are supposed to be economically efficient and environmentally friendly. Though it may sound like pure science fiction‚ there is development happening around world that is bringing that notion into reality. As I researched thoroughly to create my conceptual model for solar cars‚ I asked myself this: Are solar vehicles even practical for the U.S.? Solar energy is the most abundant energy resource on earth

vehicle’s performance. To determine this‚ the distance a car travels when tested with the same propulsion force but different wheel diameter is measured. We expect that there will be an optimum size that should be utilized in order to achieve maximum efficiency. A larger or smaller wheel size should change the distance that the car will travel. The cars we will test will be made of common and inexpensive materials. The design of the cars will consist of simple wheel and axel setups and a lever;

Hybrid Cars Hybrid cars which use at least two form of onboard energy to get impulse are popular subject because of decreasing oil sources. A hybrid car has a traditional internal combustion engine and fuel tank as well as one or more electric motors and a battery pack. There is a problem that it will be affect the transportation in the future. Nowadays‚ most of people have cars which use oil as fuel. This situation has been causing to used up oil sources. Hence people are looking for different

Case Analysis: The Car of the Future Strategic Issues and Problems: The global shortage of oil and its effect on the environment has brought substantial public attention to the renewable and alternative power sources. The technology of using alternative fuel for cars besides gasoline has been advancing rapidly over the years. In light of this‚ car manufacturers have introduced hybrid cars which combine two or more sources of energy as fuel. However‚ many argue that most of
