how is algae a viable fuel alternative?
how is using a living organism for a good alternative fuel source? i have to plead ignorance on this issue. someone care to edumacate me?
wow that was worded pretty bad haha, i think i tried to reword it and forgot what i was trying to say…
How do I make my own fuel from home?
I am doing a science project for school (8th grade), and I want to make a batch of alternative fuel for it. How do I make a batch of alternative fuel from home (I don’t want to do anything fancy, like make a still, or spend a lot of money)
Thank you in advance!
Read MoreDoes converting a diesel engine to burn both fuel and vegetable oil significantly reduce the emissions?
I just bought a great vehicle that has a 4 cylinder diesel engine that gets great fuel economy but I would like to do more. I have already had it into the shop to help me reduce the occasional smoking that it does but I have seen a few people who have converted the vehicle to burn BOTH diesel and veggie oil. Dose anyone know if this alternative fuel will actually reduce my individual emissions? Are there any recourses out there to do the conversion myself? Thanx!!
Read MoreAre we all screwed if we can't find alternative fuel sources? (preferred scientists, professors or teachers)
My physics teacher said he is severely disappointed in the progress we made for alternative fuel. our planet runs on energy that pollutes the air. He basically says if there is no action in the next 30 yrs we are all dead.(I forgot the details) He also says that hydrogen power is not the way but solar energy. Now basically i’m just wondering is he correct on the time frame? Do we only have 30 yrs before its too late?
Higher gas prices to slow down consumption does that buy us any time?
its only high school physics teacher but he seems very intelligent.
Why can't the government come up with a solid alternative fuel to gasoline?
This is a question that has probably been asked a million times over. As you all know gasoline prices are going up AGAIN and I can smell a gallon gasoline prices right around the corner. Even if the car companies start making nothing but 40 mpg hybrids this will still not solve the problem. While this might improve the environment it won’t improve gas prices since hybrid still rely on gas. If cars become more fuel efficient gas prices will just go through the roof. The people who can’t afford a new hybrid will be hugely affected. Can somebody please tell me why the government can’t come up with a solid alternative fuel to replace gasoline!!!! Is it because the Middle East will suffer when we take away their major export? Something tells me that’s the main reason.
I know everybody is for "lesser government" and doesn’t feel the government should be responsible for this. However, in the situation that we’re in any help from the government would be well-appreciated. Also, when I say "alternative fuel" I’m referring to something that can go in cars that run off gasoline. Either that or something that can run in gasoline cars with a few simple modifications.
