Alternative fuel’s the truth

August 27, 2008

Alternative fuel’s the truth!
The pros and cons of Alternative fuel’s
1. BioFuel: BioFuel is fuel that is made from crops! (Corn, sugar cane, Grains and others.) Now you might think that Biofuel is good for the environment but actually its worse then focal fuels! “Ethanol” the fuel thats made from corn produces more green house gasses then standard focal fuel. The byproduct of biofuel is even worse! It takes alot of carbon to produce biofuel. There for your really not making any difference in the environment because your using focal fuel to make biofuel! The plus side to this is its a little cheaper then Focal fuel.

2. Electricity: A great alternative fuel! But it to has alot of issues. First it’s expensive to buy or convert a car to electricity! A normal price to convert a car is around $8000.00usd and the results are not to impressive. Your mpc “miles per charge” is around 45-60miles not to good! and charge time is around 12-24hours. It takes alot of batteries to run a car on electricity and all the batteries equals extra weight which equals a decrease in horse power and space! Now you might remember GM produced a electric car back in the late 90’s that got around 100miles per charge! put after three years on the roads they where recalled and destroyed! Other companies like Toyota and Honda have produced EV’s “electric vehicles” but they to where either recalled or sold only to government or city personal! The reason they where recalled well there have been alot of speculation why but Im sure the main reason is because of big oil company’s pay offs! So don’t expect a full on electric car in the near future that’s affordable to the general public! (now you can buy a Tesla roadster for around $109,000.00usd and it does get around 250mpc and has a top end of 150mph!)

3. Hydrogen: Hydrogen the most promising out of the punch! Honda already has there FCX hydrogen car leased to a lucky few to beta test it! Now this scares me because its the same damn thing GM did with there electric car! Besides all that hydrogen cars are closer then you think! I’m not talking about compressed hydrogen and im not talking about liquid hydrogen! no no no im talking about hydrogen on demand! Taking the hydrogen and oxygen atoms out of its true state! “WATER” now you might have already heard about this or think its a bunch of bs but its not! By simple electrolyses you can extract the Hydrogen and oxygen atoms from water and use them for fuel. Its as simple as getting a few sheets of stainless steel, some nylon nuts and bolts, some wire and a jar to place it all in. That’s it! I have experimented with this and I have gotten a 30mpg increase in my car! now the technology isn’t quit there to run a car on nothing but hydrogen on demand or “brown gas named after professor brown.”
