Alternative fuels‚ or at least the concept of it‚ has been around since the early days of the automobile. Alternative fuels such as biodiesel‚ ethanol and methanol‚ have been produced and used on a small scale for decades. They are now being rediscovered due to the rising cost of oil and the instability of world politics. The discovery of these fuels changed the face of the planet‚ but since day one people have looked for other fuels that improved over the course of history. Alternative fuel vehicles

One of the fuels of discouragement‚ failure‚ drains George of any drive to go back to school because the failure of shame and earning respect from others prevents him going back to school. Another fuel of discouragement‚ frustration‚ was the initial and ongoing cause of George’s discouragement. He was frustrated with how the teachers always told him what

CIRCUIT IDEAS FUEL RESERVE INDICATOR FOR VEHICLES D. MOHAN KUMAR ere is a simple circuit for monitoring the fuel level in vehicles. It gives an audiovisual indication when the fuel level drops alarmingly below the reserve level‚ helping you to avoid running out of petrol on the way. Nowadays vehicles come with a dash-mounted fuel gauge meter that indicates the fuel levels on an analogue display. The ‘reserve’ level is indicated by a red marking in some vehicles‚ but the needle movement through

IIT Kanpur 13th July‚ 2012 ABSTRACT Numerical Studies of Microcombustion in a Micro-channel There are a lot of methods that converts chemical energy to thermal energy like fuel cells. But combustion is the most important one to obtain thermal energy from various fuels including hydrogen‚ natural gas‚ fuel oils because of its more energy output. Microcombustion is a potential energy source for small devices like unmanned vehicles and micro satellites .It is to be carried out in a miniature

Uses of fossil fuel Fossil fuels consist of coal‚ petroleum and natural gas that are found under the earth’s surface‚ formed from billions of years of compression and decomposition of dead plant and animal matter. They are the leading source of energy for the mankind and are used for various purposes like energy for transportation‚ electricity‚ manufacturing process and also used in the manufacturing process of day to day items like plastic. Main fossil fuels are. 1. Coal Coal is

possible to find other fuels it is not really feasible in the short term Threat of Substitutable Products: Although gas‚ solar power etc exist as substitutes‚ none of them are big enough to impact the demand of the petroleum products As stated above there is not a real alternative to oil at this time There is research being done to try and find substitutes. With the price of oil as high as it is at this time‚ it is only giving more reason to try and find other fuel sources. This is where
