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.
A company «BIO TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT» completes starting-up of the first line of the the production of fuel preforms (the productivity 1000 t /month). General productivity of new factory – is 3000 t/month. He will take place in Kremenets (Ternopil area).
The production of fuel preforms will be carried out with the use of unique technology of drying, which takes place when there is a serve of hot air. which is heated by a gazogene the construction of which is developed and patented by a company «BIO TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT»
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.
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.
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.
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.
Toyota МC, plans to begin the mass production of cars with hybrid engines in 2012 years, reports Reuters.
New models of hybrid cars will be more economic. These cars will be to charge by a home wall outlet (plug-in hybrid car). On the first production year it is planned to produce 20-30 thousand hybrids.
The cost of new car will make 47,8 thousand dollars approximately.
