- Growing Importance Of Alternate Fuel Sources
By: steve parker | -
As people have already start worrying about their future, which seems to be darker and colder with each passing day, alternative fuel sources have become popular with each passing day.
Their importance is not overrated at all as humanity has already exhausted half of the worlds oil reserves and it will not only become more and more expensive to extract smaller and smaller amounts of oil, but it will definitely come to its end one day. Unfortunately our economy now seems to be ...

- Boarding The Alternative-fuel Bandwagon
By: steve parker | -
We all acknowledge the fact that sooner or later all the supply of oil and fuels on this earth will be exhausted. People around the world are constantly looking up for the options to improve and refine newer and newer technology to come up with alternate fuel sources. With the greenhouse effect engulfing the whole world and becoming more and more prominent in the recent years has resulted in a number of natural calamities on the rise.
Being the responsible citizens of the pl ...

- Where Does Crude Oil Come From?
By: Jayesh Vasava | - Crude oil is known as a fossil fuel since it comes from naturally occurring hydrocarbons below the earths surface. Crude oil is composed of a variety of hydrocarbons, and also has traces of various metals within its composition. It is formed from the byproducts of ancient biological mass, including a variety of prehistoric creatures which are now underneath the earth's surface.
Over a period of millennia, crude oil is formed by heating organic elements. The majority of crude ...

- Soot, When Is It A Problem
By: Mike Volante | - How often have you heard something along the lines, soot is abrasive or soot is damaging to the engine. However, it is a regular misconception that soot particles of the type generated by internal combustion diesel engines and commonly found in diesel engine oil, are abrasive.
That said we have all seen the build up of soot on piston top lands and jamming rings, stuck up with hard baked on soot and carbonaceous deposits and all the ensuing problems associated with it. So what is goi ...

- Exploring The New Demand For Alternative Fuels
By: Al Haneson | - Remember when gas prices rose past $3 a gallon in many cities across the United States? Drivers clamored for alternative fuels so that the country wouldn't be so reliant on foreign sources of oil. As gas prices have gone back down, the shouts for alternative fuels have quieted.
But that hardly means that the United States doesn't need to invest its resources into developing green gas alternatives that can not only power our cars and trucks, but the machinery in our factories, too. ...

- The History Of Biodiesel And How It May Effect Our Future
By: Mike Hirn | - Amid all the panic regarding the diminishing supplies of fossil fuel as well as its expense. What would you say, if I told you that the history of biodiesel tells us that the knowledge of this renewable energy source has been available for hundreds of years? They are just as effective as petroleum and they are manufactured from renewable sources such as peanut, canola, hemp and soybean oil.
This history started with Rudolph Diesel when he designed a compression engine. He made use ...

- The Advantages Of Bio-fuel
By: Josee Bedard | - As the term suggests, bio-fuels are fuels that are formed when biological matter decomposes. The bio-fuels are mostly derived from plants. Bio-fuels exist in all the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.
Difference between bio-fuels and fossil fuels
Bio-fuels are different from fossil fuels in the following ways:
Fossil fuels take a million years to build whereas bio-fuels can be made extremely fast, in a matter of days.

- The Damage Vehicle Smoke And Polluted Air Can Cause
By: Aydan Corkern | - Nowadays it seems like your air keeps getting heavier with each passing day. In some states the smog is so heavy that it is hard to breathe. If you happened to be in an airplane flying over one of these states you would be surprised by how thick this smog is. It will look like a brown blanket over your city. Sometimes this blanket will make the sun have trouble shining through the clouds. This problem will only get worse as time goes by. It does not help that we keep adding more cars to our road ...

- A Few Small Steps For Bigger Returns
By: Helen Disler | - Did you know that in 1986, Pat Riley, the then coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, applied a simple, yet incredibly powerful strategy in order to win the NBA Championships?
He asked each of his players to improve their skills in 5 critical areas by just 1% over their personal best.
Although at first glance, 1% may not seem a big improvement, he figured if 12 players improved by 1% in 5 areas, the combined improvement is a massive 60%!

- Make Your Own Power And Avert The Energy Crisis
By: John Shelton | - In case you haven't noticed, we are in the midst of an energy crisis. The ever-increasing demand for energy is rapidly outstripping supply. Most exerts agree that we have reached peak oil and that supplies will only go down hill from here. Less oil means higher cost. Oil is dirty and bad for the environment anyway. It is time to move on from the fossil fuels. The security of us as individuals and a nation require it. It is also our obligation as stewards of the planet.

- Ethanol And Animal Feed?
By: MattHartwig | - Just how much animal feed does the American ethanol industry produce each year? According to a new analysis by the Renewable Fuels Association, Americas ethanol producers delivered 23 million metric tons of livestock and poultry feed to the world last year, or nearly three times the amount of wheat, sorghum, barley and oats fed to U.S. livestock in the 2007/08 marketing year. Put another way, the amount of feed produced by the ethanol industry in 2007/08 is roughly equivalent to the combined ...
