The electric generator is being developed and produced by the Norwegian company Nordic Power Systems (NPS). A significant challenge in designing a diesel reformer is the creation of an optimized mixture of fuel and oxidant before contact with the catalysts, while preventing autoignition.

Although production will initially focus on external fuel cells for recharging, the company plans to commercialize mobile handsets and PCs with built-in fuel cells by the end of fiscal 2009. This prototype is designed to operate for approximately 5 hours from a 70 cc cartridge, but operating time could vary depending on the PC applications.

The government assisted the shift by giving sugar companies subsidized loans to build ethanol plants, as well as guaranteeing prices for their ethanol products. Automobile manufacturers were given tax breaks to produce cars that ran on hydrous ethanol, and, by 1980, every automobile company in Brazil was following this lead.

million contract for design and construction of the Next-Generation Combat Engine. Since the pistons cyclically expose or occlude the exhaust and intake ports, there is no valve train. Because the intake and exhaust ports are at the opposite ends of the cylinder, opposed-piston engines have efficient, uniflow scavenging.

The Achates Power opposed-piston engine has leveraged two-stroke engine design to develop a flexible air handling and scavenging capability, which provides the necessary high temperature for stable combustion even at low loads. Central to these advancements was a fuel injection system and injection strategy combined with a new piston design.

Like electric cars, electric bicycles are classified as zero-emission vehicles, meaning they emit no exhaust gases. If more road space were given over to them, and roads were designed with two-wheeled transport in mind, that might change. The reason is that western governments are not much interested bicycles.
