  • Keeping It At Home: Alternative Fuels
    By: Angie Tewis | - Rather than become less dependent on foreign oil, America is becoming more dependent. Most American families have more than one car, meaning an escalation in oil consumption, even with the corresponding escalating price of gas. A few years ago, we would part with fifty bucks tops to fill our tanks, now it is more like sixty or seventy.

    This expense has caused many a driver to downsize their vehicles. Swapping the gas hogs for smaller, more gas efficient models is the national pas ...

  • What Happens When Hydrogen Burns
    By: Todd Ash | - Hydrogen burns readily in presence of oxygen, releasing considerable energy as heat and producing only water as exhaust.

    When hydrogen burns in air (which is mostly nitrogen), some oxides of nitrogen (NOx, contributors to smog and acid rain) can be formed, but much fewer pollutants are formed than when normal hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline and diesel are burned. Because no carbon is involved, using hydrogen fuel does not contribute to global warming.
