Hydrogen Tap ( Zero Field More Tests) 103

This video shows that there is not break in the line of magnets that would cause the energy we saw. In this video each magnet is tested showing that we still don’t know why.

HARD DATA, PROOF of GREATLY reduced hydrocarbons and overall emissions. (from over 3000 to ZERO!) Here in this video we have a van that has been grooved already and has seen a 60% increase mileage. Come to find out we have a few vacuum leaks and we can be doing better. Watch how the emissions drop as the computer adjusts itself when proper vacuum is restored after adding The Gadgetman Groove. We can teach you how! www.gadgetmangroove.com

World’s First LEED Net Zero Home: Eco Kitchen – buildaroo.com

We took a trip to Sebastapol, California to tour the first LEED home in the world! The home was built from the ground up by Paul Rosen, Founder of North Bay Energy as well as a builder and sustainability consultant. Amazingly, the house is so energy efficient that the total annual utility cost is less that $10! Skeptical? Well we were too, so Paul invited us to tour the home while he explained all the different design features. We like this home because its energy efficiency coupled with the fact that it produces most of its own electricity during peak energy hours means that its carbon footprint is very low. In addition, this home has some really cool design elements and a stunning landscape. This episode covers the home’s beautifully and efficiently designed eco-kitchen. Some of the kitchen’s eco-friendly features include: sustainably manufactured and locally sourced tile countertops, high end durable appliances, water efficient dual drawer dishwasher, natural daylighting with strategic skylight placement, task lighting and reclaimed wood flooring. To see other parts of this sustainable home, stay tuned for the upcoming episodes of this series. If you are interested in more information about the home, contact us at contact@buildaroo.com, and we will put you in touch with the owner. This video is the second part of a series on this home. Check back soon for part 3 at www.buildaroo.com And for more videos and information about sustainable green building check out www …

Renault – 4 Electric concept cars Zero Emission

Renault Twizy ZE Concept, Renault Zoe ZE Concept, Renault Fluence ZE Concept & Renault Kangoo ZE Concept in one video !

Zero Emission Magazine n°9, the Renault Electric Vehicle – Sustainable-Mobility.org

This 9th edition of “Zero Emission: the mag” takes us into the heart of Renault’s environmental workshop to which bloggers from various countries were invited to take a preview test drive in the “Fluence ZE” prototype. Then, the rest of our meeting with Thomas Orsini, Director of Business Development for Renault Electric Cars. He tells us about the manufacturer’s private partnerships.

Zero Emissions Vehicle For Sale in 2010

Japanese car manufacturer Nissan has taken a lead in the emission free car arms race when they unveiled their brand new electric vehicle and hybrid models this week. The new Electric vehicle, nicknamed the EV-02, has a 660 pound lithium ion battery that is twice as powerful as the conventional hybrid battery. The boxy EV-02 zipped around Nissan’s test course, accelerating faster than comparable gas powered cars… quieting electric car critics. Nissan also unveiled a new hybrid model, to compete with Toyota’s popular Prius and Honda’s Civic models. The dramatic unveiling of the electric vehicle made it clear that battery powered cars are at the center of Nissan’s green strategy. The real winner in the no emissions arms race is the consumer, who will be paying less for gas, and the environment, as less emissions are released into the atmosphere. Nissan’s new electric car and hybrid set to be released in the US and Japan in 2010, and the rest of the world in 2012. Now it’s Toyota and Honda’s turn to respond to up the green ante. This has been Elizabeth Chambers for LivingGreenChannel.com with your green update.

Fuel Cell Vehicles – Zero Emission Vehicles of the Future

Zero emission vehicles are the future. One that we haven’t seen much of is the fuel cell powered vehicle. Fuel cells have been used on space crafts for many years. A vehicle that is considered zero emissions is one where the fuel cell is fueled by Hydrogen, and it has to be 100% hydrogen.

Fuel cell vehicles turn hydrogen fuel and oxygen into electricity. Cars with an electric motor can then be powered by using this electricity. This can be compared to traditional vehicles where the electricity from batteries power the motor in an electric vehicle. The combination of oxygen and hydrogen produces energy and water. In fuel cells, this can be accomplished without using any burning or combustion.

These cars are considered zero emission vehicles because the exhaust from these cars  comes out as water vapor and steam. If the fuel cells didn’t get as hot as they do, water would just pour out of the exhaust pipe. But fuel cells get VERY hot, so it comes out as water vapor or steam. We have known of this technology for a long time though. Think of it like a space shuttle. Space shuttles are fueled with liquid oxygen and also liquid hydrogen. Then they are mixed together and ignited to cause a ridiculously hot fire which then propels the spacecraft into their air because of the expanding gases. This is what causes them to fly.

We know of a number of ways that can provide hydrogen to a fuel cell. One way is to simply put hydrogen gas and also air into the fuel cell itself. In order to carry hydrogen gas like this, it needs to be compressed. This is usually to about 3000 lbs per square inch. In order to do this, special containers need to be used.

Another way of providing hydrogen gas is to hold it on the car in the form of a liquid. In order to create hydrogen it needs to be made cold and also compressed. Hydrogen in liquid form is VERY cold. It is around 423 degrees below zero. The containers that hold this freezing cold liquid need to be well insulated and kept very safe. By warming up the liquid, or even lowering the pressure, you can release the gas into a fuel cell which will be able to power the vehicle that it is in.

Another very popular method of getting hydrogen to a fuel cell is using a reformer. A reformer is a device that can take out the hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels. These are methanol or gasoline. When something other than hydrogen is used, the fuel cell is no longer zero-emission but it still may have extremely low emissions.

It is common to hear people talking about how fuel cell vehicles could be the future. What people don’t know is how far away we are from making these reasonably priced. High class families would have trouble affording these vehicles.
