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 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.

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.
Cars which will be able to ride on urine will appear already through a half-year. The scientists from the university of Ohio create a new technology.
Scientists assert that by nickeliferous electrodes they can extract cheap hydrogen from urine. Thus, urine will become a fuel for cars, houses and other necessities.
Scientists from the University of California (Riverside Bourns College of Engineering) invented an improved technology of production of lithium-ion batteries. The battery will run three times longer.
The European union made decision about introduction of anti-dumping duties on the import of biological diesel fuel from the USA on the nearest five years, reported in Tuesday the agency Frans Press.
Introductions of anti-dumping duties, the size of which will make from 23 euros a to 41 euros for one hundred kilograms, was approved by 27 countries-members of union and will go into effect from July, 12 for a term of five years.
HB-SIA (Solar Impulse Alpha) ifirst sun energy airplane pilot-controlled in the world, capable to remain in mid air and at night.
A final purpose of project is the first pilot-controlled flight round earth exceptionally on sun energy.
Length of airplane is a 21,85 meters, height – a 6,4 meters. Width of wings – 63,4 meters.
And it is at similarity, as at a glider.
