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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
