fuel

Formula 1 racing moves to fully 50/50% hybrid V6 engines in 2026, but the longer term plan is to move to V8 or even V10 cars running on sustainable fuels. The FIA President thinks sustainable fuel V8s should be possible in 2029...

Scientists Turn Corn Husks Into Dinner http://www.technewsdaily.com/17779-scientists-turn-corn-husks-into-dinner.html Does this mean the end of hunger and the creation of cheap fuel? I would have liked to see some idea of the cost of the process and for its scaling into a commercial...

Here in Australia we've had E10 fuel for quite a while (E10 means 10% Ethanol), as a cheaper alternative to plain unleaded. But I've noticed that the price difference has been getting smaller over time. Filling up my old Mazda this morning, I noticed that the price difference (at least in my...

Here's an interesting, and misleading article that is irritating because uninformed people reading it are more likely to jump to CT theories about supression of car engines running on water. After all, urine is almost entirely water. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/07/08/urine-power.html

In classic US Media Fashion either the greatest invention known to man has simply been ignored or they know its bunk and just needed some filler. Here's the clip. Retired TV station owner and broadcast engineer, John Kanzius, wasn't looking for an answer to the energy crisis. He was looking...

At least for model rockets. Apparently a combination of corn syrup and potassium nitrate can be used effectively as a solid propellant: http://www.jamesyawn.com/syrup/index.html I wonder if this would have anything to do with the origin of the "sugar in the gas tank makes your car explode"...

http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/space/07/03/shuttle.launch/index.html Somebody has some explaining to do. Who put it there? Did they think they could get away with it? Did they hide it so it could be found, sort of a cry for help? Clearly, the main suspects would be any of the astronauts who...

Can someone with knowledge in the field tell me if this is legit? http://ebaumsworld.com/2006/06/waterfuel.html

i am pumping gas at kroger (10 cents off with my card, woohoo (and yes i know they track my every move with it)) and they now have a little video monitor that thries to sell you additives for your fuel as you pump...i am wondering if anyone has info on these additives, how much harm, good or...

True/False: Exxon has a secret yard full of dead water-fuel inventors? From http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/showthread.php?t=138193 Yet another inventor has popped up claiming he has an engine that runs on water. Obviously, if this were true he'd be on international news and not just some local...

Poking around on MySpace, I get a request to add a friend from BioPerformance. Ok let's see what they're about. On the profile, and their website are all sorts of testimonials, "30% better fuel economy" and so on. Sounds great. They have info about global warming, Al Gore's movie trailer, doom...

Boo Hoo Hoo...now we have to pay $3.50 a gallon...the sky is falling...the sky is falling...SOS! save our SUVs Mr. Bush! ;) Meanwhile in Holland it's $6.48 USD a gallon, $5.80 USD in Sweden, $5.79 USD in Britain, $4.24 USD in Japan...(cite). $3.50/Gal is getting off easy! {edited to add}...

I know there has been a couple of threads on this subject earlier, but I found it best to start a new topic. Today a salesman from a company called AutoMEC sent me some documentation to supposedly prove that their magnetic fuel treatment device really works. He wasn't sending me this to get a...

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/02/23/MNGN7BFH7N1.DTL&type=health The title is enough to rock ya but to learn that there is actually a "safe daily dose" of rocket fuel as determined by the NAS? Oh boy. Well, at least it gives the 'bottle feed' coalition new ammo against...

This is something that I really find irritating! As the price of oil goes up- so the price of petrol goes up- so the amount of revenue the gov gains from the sale of it goes up. Any fule kno that higher fuel prices = economic slowdown. So why doesnt the government regulate is fuel tax to...

From the article: Good old UN.

Last week, Toyota made a big deal about how cheaply they could produce hybrid vehicles. So now General Motors has to put its word in, claiming that hydrogen fuel cells vehilces will win out over gas/electric hybrids in the end...

http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/08/19/ballard.generator.reut/index.html Looks interesting. Doesn't appear to work on anything except hydrogen, though.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/science/06/04/ford.sierra.reut/index.html Does anyone know whether it is factually true? And if it is true, is it because the reasearch for fuel efficiency is not profitable, or because cars now have many more features that require power?
