Who makes the parts for a wood fired steam powered electricity generator that can also heat a home?
Outdoor wood and coal furnaces as add on units to heat pumps are becoming popular now. I’m trying to find a vendor who makes a stand alone unit for powering a riverside cabin home. A 200 amp 240 VAC unit would be perfect, but a 100-150 amp unit would power everything.
What should I do to start my career in the solar and alternative energy field?
I have a Bachelors in Material Science and Engineering. No particular solar experience. I’ve been looking to get a masters at Univ. of Texas or another Texas University, but I’m not sure which degree would best help me get a job, if at all. What should be my next steps, I’ve been researching for a […]
Biofuel ??
how can biofuels compete with food ?? i mean they are both made using the same resources i know that producind biofuels will decrease the land used for planting food But what else ?? and if you thiis that biology is not the right Category for this essue tell me where it will fit and […]
What are three examples of how hydrogen fuel cells are being used today?
Fuel cells run on hydrogen, the simplest element and most plentiful gas in the universe. Hydrogen is colorless, odorless and tasteless. Each hydrogen molecule has two atoms of hydrogen, which accounts for the H 2 we often see. Hydrogen is the lightest element, with a density of 0.08988 grams per liter at standard pressure, yet […]
ion propulsion?
i know that nasa has a vessel using ion propulsion to move since ion propulsionis self sustaining, in space wouldnt it always pick up speed if left on? couldnt this end up being a time travelling vehicle? tom 777 it is a proven fact that black holes consume light therefor are moving at greater speeds. […]
hydroelectric?
ok im like realy bad at research… so if you could give me some info on hydroelectric… or maybe give me a good website that will… thanks!
Geothermal Energy?
I need to know the answers for a couple questions about geothermanl energy for a report. I need to know: #1: Who was the person who founded geothermal energy and when? #2: What was the person’s resoning for researching that type of energy? #3: Why were they trying to comeup with a new type of […]
Energy Department Offers Conditional Commitment to Support Nevada Geothermal Development with Recovery Act Funds
Energy Department Offers Conditional Commitment to Support Nevada Geothermal Development with Recovery Act Funds Washington D.C. – Energy Secretary Steven Chu today announced a conditional commitment to provide a partial guarantee for a $98.5 million loan by John Hancock Financial Services to the Nevada Geothermal Power Company (NGP) for a 49.5 megawatt geothermal project in […]
where can i find a wiring diagram for a series hybrid electric vehicle ?
i am planning to make a series hybrid electric vehicle , i just am confused as how the generator will be wired to the batteries so that it will charge them and how the batteries will power the car at the same time while getting charged from the generator basically where can i find a […]
What will happen if i supply a lot of negative ion to engine combustion chamber?
Firstly, sorry for my English. I’m a Malaysian and just 15 years old….. What will happen if i supply a lots of negative ion by putting an ionizer to air intake of a car? If i’m right, ignition coil will generate positive ion at spark plug then the positive ion hit the spark plug ground […]
Solar power project proposed for Halifax
Solar power project proposed for Halifax Halifax County wants to team up with Dominion Virginia Power to build a pilot demonstration facility for solar power. The Industrial Development Authority of Halifax County says the planned facility would generate about 4 megawatts of power and be the largest integrated solar-battery facility in Virginia. Dominion plans to […]
What are some not well known electric/hybrid cars available for sale in the US?
I keep seeing all these stories with various models of hybrids and electric cars. Of course we all know about cars like the Prius, but where are all the other cars at? The ones we see and say ‘oh cool’ but we never see for sale?
Alternative Energy – Biofuel from Algae
Algae is the fastest growing plant life, and as an organism it converts sunlight into oil, scientists theorize that Algal biofuel can produce a whopping 30 times more energy per acre than any other biofuel option. The US Department of Energy has estimated that if Algal Biofuel replaced all conventional fuel in the country, it […]
How is it possible to use Hydrogen economically as fuel by water electrolization.?
It is my knowledge from internet that to electrolize one liter of water consumes 7.5 units of current. Then how a car owner can use hydrogen fuel ecomonically for his car or cooking purpose.
how do hydrogen fuel cells compare to solar or wind energy as an alternative energy source?
Does hydrogen fuel enhancement really work?
I keep getting emails about a system that converts water into hydrogen. It clams to inject hydrogen it into an automotive engine to supplement gas or diesel combustion, therefore reducing fuel consumption. It all seems too good to be true. If it were that easy and that efficient, why hadn’t anybody already thought of it?
Is hydrogen the future fuel and the best choice for the future to replace gas. Is there a better alternative?
Electric cars with new batteries may go a couple of hundred miles on one charge. With even better batteries perhaps could go further. What is the future energy source that has the most promise?
Will hydrogen that will fuel a car be a problem in a cold weather?
What are the limitations of hydrogen fuel when the weather is either extremely cold or hot?
Why aren’t we using hydrogen as alternative energy source?
is hydrogen dangerous
Why does my water in my hydrogen fuel cell turn to a weird color?
When I turn on my hydrogen fuel cell or HHO fuel cell and it runs for a little bit, the water starts to turn like yellowish brownish. And it starts to form bubbles on the top of the water that turn really dark brown or black. What kind of water do I need to use […]
