Date: February 06, 2008 09:22AM According to the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car?" fuel cell technology is a "distraction" so that car companies won;t have to release electric battery cars and will still have to use gasoline until fuel cells are ready. I think REEVs (Range Extended Electric vehicles) will become the next "hot" (trendy) and feasible (real) thing. Here is a link: [gliving.tv] Re: water vapor comes out of this" green" car

Date: February 06, 2008 10:50AM I think if you look at the entire lifetime emissions of fuel cell cars, from construction to disposal, they are not the best option for the environment, even if they do only emit water vapor as they are being driven around.
This is roughly what I mean Cheers, J Re: water vapor comes out of this" green" car

Date: February 08, 2008 05:13PM Some reasons why biofuel is NOT the answer [physorg.com]
It doesn't even mention the fact that biofuels also place increased pressure on commodity crop prices, since biofuels and normal food crops are in competition for land, thus worsening the condition of billions of poor people around the world who depend on such food and which can't afford it. Crop inflation has skyrocketed in the last couple of years from the decreased supply of crops due to the increased demand on land place by biofuel production.

Date: February 08, 2008 05:21PM i still think that car that runs on compressed air is the best. sounds too good to be true, i know, but it is! Re: water vapor comes out of this" green" car

Date: February 08, 2008 06:33PM Hey coco,
The air car idea is good because it doesn't have any polluting emissions in situ (it actually purifies the air!), and also because the "fuel" is so plentiful and cheap, but in terms of energy efficiency, it's not great since it requires a lot of energy to pump into the pressurized canister containing the air, and there are a lots of losses. An electric car is more efficient from an energy point of view, thus reducing total energy consumption. A good idea though that deserves more investment I think.

Date: February 08, 2008 06:37PM how can that be though, they say it only takes 5 minutes to fill the tank! Re: water vapor comes out of this" green" car

Date: February 08, 2008 11:25PM i want a car that runs on just pure THOUGHT
fortunately i do own one its the new MPOG X81000 the acronym stands for the highest natural human transportation technology known to human kind ( My Pair Of Legs) they work very well wherever i direct it they go high mileage too Re: water vapor comes out of this" green" car

Date: February 09, 2008 12:10AM Hey coco,
it does only take a few minutes when refilled by a commercial air pump, but bear in mind that those machines use up a lot of energy compressing the air into the storage tank in the car. The system as a whole is less efficient than electric batteries and much more so than gasoline. Although the technology can always improve with more investment, right now it is worse for the environment to use an air car than a similar sized gasoline car. If one used only renewable energy to fill up the tank then it would be totally clean, but it would still waste a relatively large amount of energy when compared to other options.
[www.msnbc.msn.com] Like the article asays, what the air car does is transfer the pollution away from the car itself and to the power station which generates the electricity that drives the air compressor that fill up the tank. Cheers, J Re: water vapor comes out of this" green" car

Date: February 09, 2008 01:52AM oh. sad. still, there's room for improvement! maybe one day. or we could all get a car like ver's. heh. Re: water vapor comes out of this" green" car

Date: February 23, 2008 10:41PM Well, it seems they've been working on air car technology. This latest one is a hybrid air car that gets over 100mpg [zeropollutionmotors.us]
It seems quite affordable and an improvement on mileage and overall practicality. Should help quite a lot in reducing air pollution, but still not so great when considering climate change implications, since the energy required to pump it up is still coming from the main grid and the inefficiencies are still there in part. Coming over to the US in 2009. Pretty good stuff though. Cheers, J Re: water vapor comes out of this" green" car

Date: February 23, 2008 11:01PM There are free plans available that show how to do it yourself cheap and easy run on water. There was or maybe still is a yahoo group called radiant_H2o that posted them.
The John Bedini system works too. elnatural Re: water vapor comes out of this" green" car
