- The Dynamics Of A Water-fuelled Car
By: Loosey Goosey | - The definition of a water-fuelled car is a vehicle that runs on a motor that is fuelled without any other energy source than water. The compound of water is made of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. The use of water to make a fuel has, up to this point in time, been simply a science fiction dream.
A common belief of water-fuelled vehicles is that a form of this is a steam engine. This is not true as the steam engine uses wood or coal to heat up the water to form steam. T ...

- Can You Afford Not To Install Energy-saving Windows?
By: Graham Tasker | - It's a fact that your house leaks most of its heat through its windows. Poor seals on cheap windows allow drafts to intrude which lead you to turn the heating higher. It's also true that common or garden glass is not a particularly good insulator. Ok, you probably know a lot of this already but the problem is you balk at the price of energy-efficient windows, right? What you have to bear in mind is that the right windows can reduce your house's energy usage by up to 25 per cent.
