A company Riversimple presented a city car which works on hydrogens. While there is only one copy of this machine. In the near time, guidance of the company plans to get financing for creation 10 prototypes and them subsequent tests.
A hydrogen car was developed by the companies Riversimple and Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies jointly with universities of Oxford and Krenfild.
A novelty is equipped by hydrogen fuel elements and operated which move an electromotor, energy for which is produced in the process of chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen.
Supply fuels counted on 384 kilometres. High speed equals 80 k/h, and acceleration from a zero to 48 kilometres per hour occupies 5,5 seconds.
Expected, that the first serial hydrogen car of company Riversimple will appear at a sale in 2012 years.

Приливна енергія в основному базується на місячній гравітації. У той же час потенціал приливної гідроелектроенергії вже давно визнано. В порівнянні з традиційним ГЕС, приливні енергетичні проекти є дорогими, тому що масивні конструкції повинні бути побудовані в складних умовах та солоній воді.
