An eco-friendly way to run cars on hydrogen fuel. These cars would be equipped with fuel cell stack, electric motor, high voltage battery and compressed hydrogen storage tank. The working of the car includes, the hydrogen gas is allowed to flow into a negatively charged anode, which will dissociate the hydrogen atom into protons and electrons. These electrons will then flow through the circuit in order to produce electricity. The protons released earlier are passed through membrane, rejoining the electrons and mix with oxygen from the outside air to release energy to run car. The end products of the combustion are water vapor and heat which would be released into the air. A completely eco-friendly car.

A well famous British chemical company called INEOS has patented a fuel produced from the municipal wastes, agricultural waste and organic commercial waste. The fuel so formed is called the bioethanol fuel. This is produced by first heating the waste to produce gases, which is fed to the bacteria to produce ethanol. This ethanol is then purified into a fuel. The biofuel so produced would prove to be a great relief for the vehicle owners due to the soaring prices of the fossil fuels. The fuel so produced has to be mixed with the fossil fuel to run the car primarily but would not be needed afterwards when the fuel will be produced in commercial quantities.

Robert Beam wanted to run car on something other than gas. Then he thought of using wood to run car which he was taught in school. Then he started to design his own system using wood to run car, which included a furnace to burn wood to any sort of scrap and a fan to help in burning. Then the wood is lightened, it burns and converts into coal that burn at 2400 degree F. Then it is reduced t o CO and H2. These gases are enrouted to the four-stroke engine, where it is burnt finally and converted into mechanical energy. Disadvantage is smells like charcoal barbeque but runs at 45 miles per hour.

There are many car makes and models, and when having to choose a car it can become very difficult to choose the right car for yourself. When purchasing a car it involves you to do a lot of research and find out exactly what the car has, how well it runs, about the spare parts and general reviews of it. Personally driving the car yourself before purchasing is also a very good idea, because when driving you need to feel comfortable. Car prices range from being very low to being very high and at times it is the look of the car that matter, it is something very personal and at the end of the day it is up to the individual to choose which car is best for them.

It is incredibly silly to have the brand of your car on the keys. It only takes an opportunist to wander by and your car will be gone, quicker than you can blink. I had a Volvo key chain! I bought the key chain when I bought my car because I was so proud of my first brand new Volvo car, I wanted to show it off. I used to feel a great sense of achievement when people spotted my keys and my Volvo key chain and asked if I had that car. Little did I know, that by having Volvo key chains attached to my keys, I would openly invite a lucky passer by to steal my car and once that really happened. It was so humiliating explaining the whole scenario to the Police. Explaining that not only had I left my keys in my front door over night, but I had quite openly advertised the fact that my car was the one sitting outside my house. Admittedly, it probably wouldn’t have taken the thief long to work out which car was mine, seeing as it was parked outside my house and all, but I still felt an enormous sense of stupidity.

One of the most favourite and desired cars is BMW, this is a car which has class as well as having an excellent body. No matter what model or year the car my be of, BMW cars are always the best and very reliable. The cars are very powerful and therefore very costly at the same time, which is why you need to thinking twice before buying it, as along with that the insurance cost rises too. But once bought you will never regret having it and think spending the money on it is very worth the while.

I have been driving my toyota innova for the last three and a half months now and it has done about 8000 kilometers by now and has been for service once, haven’t seen any major problem till date except for the steering making a bit of noise while turning which was rectified on the first service but it has got the same problem again which isint too annoying to be honest but being a brand new car it shouldnt have such trouble in the first place.
Overall I am loving my car and have just praises for the powerful engine and the posh interiors. The rear seats are so comfortable that I actually prefer them to my sofa at home
