Alternative Fuels - Green Technology

“…Convert Any Vehicle Into A Hybrid For Under $100 and Start Saving Money And Environment Instantly…”

 

DID YOU KNOW?
…You can turn your car and truck into a Environment and Wallet Friendly Hybrid!
…Almost anyone can do this, even if you have no mechanical experience!
…Our illustrated step-by-step DIY conversion guide will show you exactly how to build and install your own hybrid system into virtually any vehicle!


The process has been simplified and you’ll learn the secret behind water fueled vehicles, the technology as well as the conversion. The manual features easy to follow illustrated steps.

Not only that, but there is also specifics of where you can buy all of the components you need right off the shelf.

Bus with energy hydraulic hybrid



Technological advances in the field of mobility continues to talk about the world of renewable energy, having as great exponents a broad platform of electric cars that is preparing for a 2012 with much more clean cars, and even the use of hydraulic energy in transport, as we shall see below.


The project has been carried out by a group of students at the University of technology of Georgia, who have decided to reform the bus that transports students to the educational institution with a new power plant, which generates a significant saving of fuel.

Consists of a diesel engine that provides a load of energy to a battery, which is responsible for that at the time of acceleration are made up a series of hydraulic motors, which at the time of stopping can reverse the process and capture the energy (something very similar to the regeneration of braking system, although much more efficient)

This project requires an investment of about 14,000 euros to the change, although these figures could lessen if a mass conversion of the fleet of buses of the University, with the support of the Ford Motor Company.

Machines hybrid



So many times I have talked about hybrid cars.. Since holes bring to a story on hybrid machines. It's a solution very beneficial for the heavy machinery - which has a high level of consumption of fossil fuels-applying similar technology the of other hybrid vehicles, with results of up to 50% of energy savings.


Researchers of Aalto University in Finland have experimented with internal combustion machines , turning them into hybrid vehicles by the addition of electric power transmission systems. They started from the basis that these machines - for the same work - produce an important power generation: either in the slowdown, or activities such as drilling, for example.

Then what they did was ensure that the energy generated by these activities is stored in a battery connected to the own vehicle. This stored energy is later used for the operation of the vehicle, reducing fuel use up to 50%. Also, unused stored energy can be transferred to the network and have an alternative use.

New Toyota Auris| hybrid car news

The new features of the new Toyota Auris, the hybrid car emits less CO2 in their category.
Speaking of hybrid cars is speaking of Toyota. Toyota Motor Corporation exceeded historical 2 million vehicles sold above their competitors brand in 2009. Undoubtedly this is because the important innovations is including in its hybrid models.Today you will have the new features of the new Toyota Auris.

One of the main advantages of having a hybrid car is savings in fuel.Not in vain, estimated that over 200,000 hybrid cars already circulating in Europe. The new Toyota Auris is priced some can be expensive, but if we do accounts ends up leaving us cheap, just make calculations of the fuel you need for a year.
In fact, one of the most interesting novelties of the new Toyota Auris is the reduction of consumption of fuel, the result is only 3.8 litres / 100 km.  Other new features are:

the new Toyota Auris is the first hybrid "Full Hybrid" (combined serie+paralelo) of its category. It is based on the Hybrid Synergy Drive technology. Allows you to drive in all-electric mode ECO mode (using both engines) and mode PWR (provides maximum power) .the new Toyota Auris only emits 89 g/km CO2.Emissions over its categoría.Alta low efficiency: heat engine cylinder 1.8.

In the design, the Toyota Auris also bet by redesign both outside and inside.The result gives us a car easy driving, quiet and comfortable.We offer you the main novelties:

The new exterior design includes:

The redesign of the front grille to optimise intake LED lights that lit permancen provided that the engine is running.Thus increases visibility to other conductores.Exclusivo of this model are: wheels 5 arms and 17-inch alloy and the blue tint in your logo.
In the interior it is worth mentioning:

System Smart Start you you already don't need key to turn on the engine. automatic transmission which offers 3 modes of driving: EV, ECO, PWREn scorecard incorporates a Optitron blue allowing greater clarity.The Optitron is Toyota's term for a particular lighting settings.
The new Toyota Auris is already on sale, you can try leaving your data at the Toyota website and in a few days you will feel what is driving a hybrid.There are two versions available: active (20.950€) and Advance (23,400€).

Hybrid cars are synonymous with respect for the environment, silence and well-being.

Photovoltaic And Wind Energy

It is known that in areas where there is Sun the wind is not commonplace, and where there are many strong winds, the sun behind the grey clouds, so it is impossible to rely on a single type of renewable energy, giving rise to the renewable energy hybrid, as for example the solar energy photovoltaic -wind.


Combining the best of both, the energy photovoltaic-wind energy can meet the energy needs much more easily, and getting a peak production when both are available at the same time.

This makes it ideal to take renewable domestic energy sources, although as it was to be expected, it is an important initial investment, so figure out budgets is essential.
