Materials for Better Li-based Storage Systems for a “Green Energy Society”

August 11, 2010 by  
Filed under Going Green


Li-ion batteries are strongly considered for powering the upcoming generations of HEVs and PHEVs, but there are still the issues of safety and costs in terms of materials resources and abundances, synthesis, and recycling processes. Notions of materials having minimum footprint in nature, made via eco-efficient processes, must be integrated in our new research towards the next generation of sustainable and “greener” Li-ion batteries. In this July 13, 2009 talk sponsored by Berkeley Lab’s Environental Energy Technologies Division, Jean-Marie Tarascon, a professor at the University of Picardie (Amiens), discuss Eco-efficient synthesis via hydrothermal/solvothermal processes using latent bases as well as structure directing templates or other bio-related approaches of LiFePO4 nanopowders.

Learn the Truth About Hydrogen Fuel Systems

August 6, 2010 by  
Filed under Hydrogen Cars

Hybrid Hydrogen Oxygen (HHO), is gaining much popularity these days. Perhaps its popularity is due to the high prices of gas in the world market. Many car owners as well as homeowners are trying to understand how hydrogen fuel systems work.

You might also be wondering how hydrogen fuels makes cars run. Well, all these questions will be answered as you read on.

Some of the most frequent questions are:

1. Are the hydrogen fuel systems difficult to assemble?
2. How does the system work?
3. Is the hydrogen fuel system a must nowadays?

You don’t have to be an expert mechanic to assemble a hydrogen fuel system. You can easily find an instruction manual or video to help you with the assembly. The HHO car kits are now widely available in major stores at a reasonable price. You can easily purchase the kits, and later assemble the various parts of the HHO generator.

Aside from the HHO kits, those who don’t like do-it-yourself activities can purchase ready-made hydrogen fuel system. But of course, if you opt for this alternative, it can be quite expensive. Try to compute your yearly gasoline expenses. The cost of the ready-made hydrogen fuel system is still not that expensive. With a one-time investment of the system, you can expect a lot of savings in the coming years with which you can use in purchasing other more important items.

Some people don’t want to conduct Internet researches as they feel that they will be overloaded with lots of useless information. Even if you’ve gathered the needed information, it is useless if you don’t take time to read. In order to understand how the hydrogen fuel systems work, you should do your homework.

You must read and understand everything to better understand the process. The ‘Electrolyzer’ will produce HHO fuel from the mixture of oxygen and hydrogen. The hydrogen fuel is sent to a carburetor or an intake manifold so that the vehicle will run smoothly; achieve better mileage, calmer engine, faster acceleration, etc.

A lot of people find themselves at a great loss due to the very high price of gas. If you make use of Hydrogen technology, you will enjoy the benefits that come along with it. By using hydrogen fuel systems, you can save a lot of money, save the planet by decreasing the emission of greenhouse gases, and you can also keep your car in peak performance.

With the rising price of gas and basic commodities, you will need to look for an effective alternative energy source.

Now that you understand the important aspects of hydrogen fuel systems, don’t you think that its time for you to try it out? You don’t have to buy a new car, as your existing car will do. All you need to do, is purchase a HHO car kit or buy a ready-made hydrogen fuel system. Start shopping for it now.
