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.
In the conditions of global rise of the temperature, many countries look closely to the new type of fossil fuel which is now used only in Noril’ske, reports The New Scientist.
It look like dirty ice.
Secret is in molecules of methane, hidden in an icy crystals. Their properties were revealed by chance: at the end of 1970th the Russian scientists were surprised, that gas on Messoyakhinsk deposit, bedding under eternal frigidity in Western Siberia, not complete, despite prognoses.
Wind behaves to the most perspective alternative energy sources. At past Hamburg conference the European specialists discussed conceptions of Wind Generator of new generation.
Wind Systems play in Europe, including in Germany, an important role. The most perspective have “off-shore wind parks”. It is marine complexes of Wind Systems near banks, where strength of wind is more high, than on land. However, building of wind generator on water is very expensive. Therefore, it will cover a cost only in case that wind parks produces the enough body of energy.
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.
Company SunOyster (FRG) has created technology Concentrator Cell Receiver, allowing greatly increase the efficiency of solar panels.
Currently, the holders of batteries faced with the problem of the limited size of the roofs of houses for the establishment of panels. There is also the problem of wrong calculation of the angle of inclination.
In an emirate Abu-Dabi sets to work a sun power-station, which enters in the most sun energy company on Near East – “Masdar”.
Station by a cost 50 million dollars of the USA integrated to the electric system of emirate. About 88 thousand of sun panels-batteries catch sun energy, converting it into an electric current which is given to administrative establishments of future city Masdar in the fence surrounding villages of Abu-Dabi.

During the nearest two years, power of Portugal plan to build in a country about 1300 stations for charging of electric car accumulators.
The build of electric filling stations is part of plan on mass market creation for environmentally clean electric vehicles which will begin to sell next year in Portugal, reports Лента.ру.
