So when you open the exhaust valve to dump expanded gas out to the environment, you lose all of that energy stored in the high-pressure exhaust gases and you create a lot of noise. Furthermore, the K6 wouldn’t require computer control for operation, making an individual engine as much as $100 cheaper, and much simpler to build.

The comparison between a donkey and a thoroughbred racehorse is an excellent example: each has a head, a body and four legs. The energy stored in the flywheel can then accelerate the car or be used to propel the vehicle once it reaches its cruising speed. The new Concept You show car is an example of coming designs based on the SPA.

More significantly it must be realized that hydrogen, just like a battery, is not an energy source in itself, but simply a means of storing energy. The cost of platinum makes hydrogen fuel cells an expensive proposition even in comparison to lithium-ion batteries. Hydrogen ions are highly acidic and thus highly corrosive.

The government assisted the shift by giving sugar companies subsidized loans to build ethanol plants, as well as guaranteeing prices for their ethanol products. This process accumulates a certain amount of latent (stored) energy. Already the world’s biggest producer and exporter of sugar, farmers reaped the benefits of this new demand.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe but, on earth, it must normally be extracted from water or organic compounds. Myth #2: Hydrogen gas is dangerous to store and use. Myth #3: FCEVs and their supporting infrastructure are too expensive to build so they will never provide a mass-market alternative solution.

Ryan Wolcott’s system builds on the navigation systems used in other self-driving cars that are currently in development, including Google’s vehicle. These use three-dimensional laser scanning technology to create a real-time map of their environment, then compare that real-time map to a pre-drawn map stored in the system.

Hit the jump for a comparison that includes plenty of pics and video. Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. The method that should seem most natural is charging at home.
