anything about alternative fuel sources…?
i need some reliable websites about hydrogen fuel cells, solar powered cars, electric cars, ethanol, or any other crazy alternative fuel vehicles, etc. and how the stuff works. its for a stupid annotated bibliography that needs FIFTEEN friggin sources.
especially electric and solar
anyhelp?? or even just some general info off the topof your head would work too.. =]
i need information about cars. i am not so interested in a how-to book about houses.. i need info strictly about vehicles
In racing they use Methanol (wood alcohol) because of the high octane rating needed for high compression engines producing 500+ H.P.
The only drawback it is corrosive to some metals and o rings, and you need 2 times the amount vs. gasoline.
Hope this may help you. See Wikipedia on methanol!
Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint. I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.
Alternative Fuels, also known as non-conventional fuels, are any materials or substances that can be used as a fuel, other than conventional fuels. Conventional fuels include: fossil fuels (petroleum (oil), coal, propane, & natural gas), & also in some instances nuclear materials such as uranium. Some well known alternative fuels include biodiesel, ethanol, butanol, chemically stored electricity (batteries & fuel cells), hydrogen, methane, natural gas, vegetable oil, biomass, & peanut oil.
Now alternative (or renewable) energy is a little different…
Renewable energy flows involve natural phenomena such as sunlight, wind, tides & geothermal heat. Each of these sources has unique characteristics which influence how & where they are used.
Short but sweet that’s the specifics of it. If you’re interested in using some form of alternative fuel or renewable energy in your vehicle or home, feel free to contact me. I live 100% off the grid on alternative energy and have converted many vehicles to run on biodiesel, ethanol, hydrogen and EV.
In fact I currently run 2 trucks, my home hot water heater, home stove and home generator on hydrogen and one car is EV. I offer step by step DIY guides to walk anyone threw the process if you’re interested. You can find them at

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

-you should probably do a search on hybrids cars too.
Out of time, hope this helps.
