The greenest vehicles in the world are human powered! Check out some of these wakey but very powerful all terrain human powered vehicles. That is right I said all terrain. Sand, Water, Road, or Mud! You can do it under your own power! Check out Kinetic Sculpture Racing!

I am studying HHO technology and considering converting my truck . I am looking into all the cracks and crevices to find out as much as I can before I do anything. Any and all info appreciated. I am a Master Electrician and I am fascinated by the PWM concept of gas generation. I need to know more about the electrical mods I will have to make to convert my truck. I have no intentions to make the truck fully reliant on hho, but would like to use HHO as a fuel additive.

Has anyone ever heard of green asphalt. It's not like it implies it is asphalt made using oilshale. I heard that a stretch of ground was paved with this
green asphal and fifty years later it was still holding up to the weather. I wonder if there were brawbacks to it's use Too expensive, hard to work with ?
I'm not sure how to find out about it but it seems to me if there better materials in our roads then the road tax money could and should be spent on better materials. New roads are more effecient simply because you roll along easier. plus a smooth ride is always prefeered over a rough ride some of those jolts are hard enough to ruin you tires and rims. Fix the Damn roads

I wanted to thank mrs brown for inviting me to add to her new group. I have only one thing to contribute to the car segment here on Alternative Energy
site and it I feel is the solution to two major problems facing this generation and the up and coming next generation so this is the message I'm sending out. The effeciency of an internal combustion engine can be enhanced and pollution of the o-zone reduced at the same time. This would be accomplished
not by coming out with hybrid technology I'm all for flex fuel dual fuel and ethanol additives and other alternatives like coal gas and hydrogen. I have examined these technologies. I see the current refinery situation I used to work at a refinery. They have not built any new ones in thirty years. This is our situation. We know that hydrogen is the cleanest most abundant fuel source available. The problem with hydrogen is the infrastructure and delivery systems don't exist. To overcome the delima I suggest we skip the infrastructure problem and work to retrofit our existing vehicles to a new fuel source available today if we want to adapt to it and we should when we finally hear the good news in the news and you can say you heard it first here.
I have identified this solution I have also provided it to others. The tech
solution to global warming is a device that creates hydrogen from distilled water and once the gas is created it is used right away so it is not a storage problem does not have to be kept for later use needs not to be transported by hugh pipeline is not transported over the road it is consumed right after it is produced. Under the hood of your car an electrical device will be placed that connects to your cars electrical circuites once your cars battery is charged sufficiently to restart the car the excess electrical potential from the alternator is used to eletrolize distilled water thus creating hydrogen gas
the hydrogen gas is added to the gasoline being pumped to your cars carberator or intake manifold hear the hydrogen along with the gasoline
is mixed with air and the vapor burned in the engines combustion chamber. By adding hydrogen the fuel air mixture burn hotter and more completely.
This makes a significant difference in the gas milage a car gets and the
more effecient burning of the fossil fuels and hydrogen combination emitts far less carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The reduction in emissions is 90% that is the most wonderful news I've heard in the thirty years I've been working on cars. I used to work at a filling station as well Standard
2nd & McKinley. I think that a $100 aftermarket device like this could be retrofitted onto all existing cars and trucks worldwide. In a global effort to reduce green house gasses and curb global warming the necessary solution must come before 2010 to have any chance at reversing the trend. I belive all citizens of the planet should have the option of fitting one of these devices onto their vehilce. If this device could doubble your gas milage and reduce pollution from vehicles by 90% similar technology should apply to power plants and other energy consumers. Hybrid may be an add on device to your existing sport utility vehicle. The EPA will require 35 MPG by 2013 I think we could have that whipped by 2010 with this technology and not just on new cars on all cars trucks vans and diesel over the road transport,boats,trains ect
This technology should not be owned by US or Them either it should be OPEN SOURCED so that scientists from around the globe could work freely on improving the technology reducing the cost of production,redesign and mass p[roduction. Imagine a new space race where the worlds efforts are spent in finding ways to use technology to conserve the resources we have and eliminate pollution completly. I sometimes sound very negative but my hope is that this message will be repeated untill it reaches the ears of the leaders of the free world and they don't just ignore it they grasp the concept they sponcer the idea they open source the project and it frees up all us from our dependence on foreign oil and gas prices are supply and demand if we use half as much next year then $2 a gallon is fair should lock that price in and fix roads,bridges and pot holes fix em for good can't fix everything but we can say that it be next just so you know
