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.
Alternative energy received new development conditions.
Verkhovna Rada adopted the bill that changes the conditions in the market of renewable energy from 1 January 2013, writes Kommersant-Ukraine.
A company Infinite Power Solutions announced the line of miniature accumulators Thinergy Micro Energy Cells in ultra thin implementation.
Technology of Thinergy combines the features of ordinary batteries and supercondensers. Charging to 90% take 10 minutes, and a number of charging-discharging cycles is 10000. At an incomplete charging-discharging, number of cycles is increased to 100 thousand.
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.
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.
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.
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.
