Cars That Think

The efficiencies are so different because internal-combustion engines convert a lot of energy to heat rather than to mechanical torque. We'll be interested in how much carbon-based fuels such as coal and natural gas went into the electrical energy that charged our batteries.

Clueless ministers are scrambling to shore up a key part of the country’s net zero carbon strategy after the findings in a peer-reviewed study suggested that even hydrogen produced using allegedly low-emission methods can be more polluting than gas or coal.

The solar panels attach to the roof and convert solar light into electrical energy. The inverter converts the DC solar into AC power that can power the house or be directed back into the Grid as well as connecting up the Battery packs that uses 48 Volt DC. . In March 2020 we installed 9 solar panels an inverter and 2 battery packs.

For example, converting a two-engine turboprop from kerosene to hydrogen, increases the weight of the engine from two tonnes to 13 tonnes. The Australian and Japanese are keen on Hydrogen and created a join experiment to generate Hydrogen from Australian Coal and then ship it to Japan for use in cars and industry.

The vision is fuelled by the fear of climate change and the need to find green alternatives to dirty coal, unpopular nuclear power and unreliable gas imports from Russia. Are we going to burn more oil, natural gas, or (gasp) coal to produce it? Cheers — Al Louard 11. railways replacing cars and trucks, weatherizing homes, etc.),

That being said, even a car that derives its energy from coal power plants would be far more clean. Having centralized energy production in that way allows for centralized pollution control measures, filters, so-called "clean coal" rather than depending on X number of cars, manufacturers, and consumers to deal with pollution control.
