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.
Ukraine is seeking U.S. investment in its biomass, wind and solar power industries. The idea is to use renewable energy to curb its reliance on fuel imports from Russia, which annexed Ukraine’s Crimea region last month and has troops massed on the border.
Employees of NVO “Physics-Sun” developed and patented the method of receipt of hydrogen from water by the use of sun energy.
State patent department report, that a method is based on thermal decomposition of vaporous water, which heated in a cauldron by the concentrated sunbeams to the temperature 1000-1200 degrees after a scale Kelvin.
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.
According to the prognosis of chairman of the National agency on questions providing of the effective use of energy resources of Mykola Pashkevycha, іn 2011 Ukraine will invest a 400 million euro year in alternative energy.
Pashkevych declared today about it, on November, 9, on opening of the specialized exhibition of Power efficiency- 2010.
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.
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.
