There are still many other applications in which traditional foam can be converted to bio-based soy foam on vehicles, such as energy-absorption areas, steering wheels and armrests. “We are continuously looking for new ways to expand our use of bio-based foam, and head restraints are a perfect example.

IGCC also significantly reduces criteria emissions—sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide, mercury and particulate matter—and decreases water consumption by up to 30% (as compared to a conventional coal plant). The technology proposed for the Hydrogen Energy California plant would convert petroleum coke, coal or a combination of each into syngas.

Likewise, a vehicle with a battery pack that happens to be near the upper range of its charge window (~70% to 80% for many hybrids) will also be limited in its ability to convert braking force to stored energy during a given braking event. Some early hybrid vehicles employed regen in tandem with a conventional hydraulic braking system.

A hundred years ago, centimeter-scale tilt switches used a conductive blob of mercury rolling along a glass tube to close an electric circuit.

The 6kW Wattstation, introduced in 1910, was the earliest prototype of charging equipment for electric cars, and the mercury rectifier was still used to convert AC to DC.
