The increasing of vehicle uses will make the increasing in fuels consumption. In the other hand, the reserves of fossil fuels as a fuel in vehicles are always decreasing. In order to anticipate the lack of fossil fuels, there is some alternatives energy that has to substitute the fossil fuels. One of the alternative energy is HHO Gas. HHO gas is a gas that was produced by the electrolysis of water. Water as an abundant material in earth can be an alternative energy that replace or substitute fossil fuel. In this research, HHO gas will be used as a supplement in fuels. So the vehicles use two f

Alternative motor fuel is a mixture of various hydrocarbons and their compounds. Motor fuel is based on naphthenic, paraffinic and aromatic hydrocarbons. The performance characteristics of the fuel depend on its composition. When developing methods for monitoring the characteristics of fuels, the main problem is their multicomponent nature, since each component contributes to the operational characteristics. The operational characteristics are: cetane number, sulfur content, water-soluble acids and alkalis, lower heat of combustion and some others. To determine them, the combustion of diesel f

In the current world due to scarcity of fossil fuel, an alternative energy is required. And now thanks to shortage of gasoline in future and its dangerous impact on the environment, and its necessary to develop an alternate power to give solution for insufficient energy source. Electric motors are creating noise but we want very smooth noise-less operation and have more efficiency as compared to the traditional Engines. Wind generation is smooth and sustainable that has to be absolutely utilized by the car industry. Solar electricity is harvested by PVarrays, the terminal voltage of Photovoltaic arrays switched through a DC/DC converter to buck boost converter. Then, we are going to hybrid those energy and use it to run the vehicle. we increased the efficiency by way of using 80% on direct usage and 20% for battery charging.

In recent years, an increased interest has been shown in fuels derived from renewable energy resources of animal and vegetable origin, raw materials of which are practically unlimited. The use of biofuels makes it possible not only to replace petroleum motor fuels with alternative ones, but also to improve exhaust gas toxicity indicators (as a rule, there is a marked decrease in emissions of toxic exhaust gas components). This work is devoted to the study of the possibilities of solving these problems in order to adapt diesel to biogas, a theoretical study of ways to create an experimental model of a power plant for generating electricity from biogas, a theoretical study on the processes occurring in the main components of the plant being developed and the creation of this plant.

Despite the official end of the 1958 recession, massive unemployment persisted for Detroit's autoworkers amidst huge disruptions in production. Safety nets had long since frayed. Most autoworkers exhausted their unemployment benefits and few alternate employment options existed. Unemployed Detroiters lined up wherever there were job openings, no matter the type of work. Ford and GM, however, earned healthy profits, despite shutdowns caused by a national steel strike. The only bright spot in the industry, nationwide, was the trend toward fuel-efficient, compact cars. In mid-1960 the U.S. Department of Labor declared Detroit to be in the "worst-off" category among metropolitan areas. By the end of 1960, auto work remained precarious in the Motor City, and the postwar boom remained elusive.

The researchers collaboratively discovered that by forming hydrides the multi-element disordered materials used in researching hydrogen storage could be successfully used in a rechargeable battery, called the nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. Produced by the Ovonic Battery Company, ECD’s new battery became one of its most successful commercial products. An automotive version powered General Motors’ electric car, the EV1, and it is still used in hybrids like the Toyota Prius. Ovshinsky also worked on the automotive use of hydrogen both in fuel cells and in an internal combustion engine, which was successfully tested in prototype hydrogen cars. Ultimately, however, ECD failed to attract the support needed to develop its hydrogen-fueled car commercially.

Abstract:
As discussed in Chapter 3, the transportation sector accounts for approximately a third of total emissions of CO2 in the United States, with a smaller fraction but a rapidly growing total in China. Combustion of oil, either as gasoline or diesel, is primarily responsible for the transportation- related emissions of both countries. Strategies to curtail overall emissions of CO2 must include plans for a major reduction in the use of oil in the transportation sector. This could be accomplished (1) by reducing demand for trans¬portation services; (2) by increasing the energy efficiency of the sector; or (3) by transitioning to an energy system less reliant on carbon- emitting sources of energy. Assuming continuing growth in the economies of both countries, option 1 is unlikely, certainly for China. Significant success has been achieved already in the United States under option 2, prompted by the application of increasingly more stringent corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards. And the technological advances achieved under this program are likely to find application in China and elsewhere, given the global nature of the automobile/ truck industry. The topic for discussion in this chapter is whether switching from oil to a plant- or animal- based fuel could contribute to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions from the transportation sector of either or both countries, indeed from the globe as a whole. The question is whether plant- based ethanol can substitute for gasoline and whether additional plant- and animal- derived products can cut back on demand for diesel. The related issue is whether this substitution can contribute at acceptable social and economic cost to a net reduction in overall CO2 emissions when account is taken of the entire lifecycle for production of the nonfossil alternatives. There is an extensive history to the use of ethanol as a motor fuel. Nicolas Otto, cred¬ited with the development of the internal combustion engine, used ethanol as the energy source for one of his early vehicle inventions in 1860. Henry Ford designed his first auto¬mobile, the quadricycle, to run on pure ethanol in 1896.

Abstract:
Since the early 1900’s demand for fuel efficient vehicles has motivated the development of electric and hybrid electric vehicles. Unfortunately, some components used in these vehicles are expensive and complex. Todays consumer electric vehicles use dangerously high voltage, expensive electronic controllers, complex battery management systems and AC motors. The goal of this research at BYU is to increase safety by lowering the operating voltage and decrease cost by eliminating expensive controllers and decrease the number of battery cells. This paper specifically examines the use of a Ward Leon

Abstract:
The improvement of fuel consumption is an important driving force for research and development in the automobile industry in order to minimize greenhouse gas emissions as well as improving fuel economy. Aluminum alloys are a class of alternative materials that are being used to replace cast iron in motor components due to the concomitant weight savings which result in improved fuel efficiency, and cost savings. Our research focuses on these alternative Al-based alloys as well as traditional steel interfaces, and the protective films that form on the surfaces. Currently the zinc dialkyl-dithiop

Abstract:
Oxygen production rates of 10,000 to 20,000 tons per day from large, cryogenic air separation units are being studied by many alternative fuel project developers. These projects utilize oxygen to partially oxidize hydrocarbon materials, producing a clean synthesis gas that can be used as a fuel or for conversion into valuable chemical products. Specific market applications include natural gas or waste material conversion processes and multi-train integrated gasification combined cycle facilities. In an effort to reduce specific facility cost project developers increase facility output to obtai

Abstract:
In the last decade the hybrid propulsion has been considering as a viable alternative of chemical energy conversion stored in propellants into kinetic energy. This energy is applied in propulsive systems of manned platforms, maneuvering procedures and even in the repositioning process of micro satellites. It is a system of minimum environmental impact and lower cost than traditional systems based on liquid or solid propellants. Paraffin based grains are the hybrid solid fuels appointed as polymeric fuel substitute. The liquid layer formed on the burning surface ensures high regression rate whe

Abstract:
Concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) is an alternative solution to reduce the cost of solar PV systems by using less semiconductor materials. One key component in CPV systems is a solar tracker that enables to keep them in an optimal position to maximize solar concentration. However, CPV solar trackers typically are expensive, often unreliable and require lots of power, because they are composed of bulky, complex and heavy mechanical moving parts such as motors and supporting frames. These bulky and heavy tracking components make CPV systems difficult to be installed on building or residential roof
