Honda is on Charge
by Mark Creese
To all intents and purposes Formula One should be the most exciting sport on Earth. Just one look at the key ingredients that concoct this sport has me salivating with excitement. Firstly you have a global giant of the car world such as Honda breaking away from the hatchback market and producing nearly 1,000bhp in a car that weighs less than the original Mini. Secondly this outlandish performance is put in the trust of 20 of the most skilled drivers on the planet, who are only ever 2-3 seconds away from a high speed shunt. Thirdly, the races take place in the most exotic locations around the world, including: Bahrain, Monaco, Brazil, Australia and Singapore. Why oh why then is it so dull? As a child I'd drag myself out of bed at 3am just to watch a Friday practice, before repeating the feat for Saturday qualifying and Sunday race day. I knew all the drivers statistics, why rear down force shouldn't be an issue around the Hockenheim circuit and the past winners of the championship for 50 years. Much like a lot of the population I've tired in recent years of no overtaking, the same winners and consistent rule changes that try and fail to re-ignite excitement. Michael Schumacher was the greatest driver in the history of the sport but his constant winning also destroyed my love for it. Then there was the tobacco sponsorship ban of a few years ago. Such a furore was made over banning the cancer-givers that the sport's focus was lost. So what that I fancied a cigarette after watching 'Marlboro' on Schumacher's car cross the winning line again, the advertising really wasn't the root of the problem Formula One was suffering. Not content with banning cigarettes, overtaking had to be improved (or at least occur once in a race). So cars were slowed down and made more difficult to drive. The result? The best drivers were still in the fastest cars and could cope far better than the weaker drivers already in cars to suit their abilities. The emergence of Lewis Hamilton last year has certainly gone some way to undo the monotony of the now-retired Schumacher era. Not only is he the first black driver in Formula One, but he's super-quick - if a bit erratic. Problem is that even if we overlook the unsolved overtaking problem, the President of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Max Mosley's sexual preferences, constant rule changes and Lewis's efforts to promote the sport, there's one massive problem that looms like an Eagle over its prey - global warming. With the Earth dying thanks to mankind's greed it seems everyone from every walk of life is being encouraged to recycle, use less energy and travel using green transport. I guess doing four miles to the gallon at 200mph every other weekend, with hundreds of articulated lorries, private jets and motor homes in tow doesn't quite reflect that Formula One is listening. Well maybe Honda has got the hint with their 'Earth' car from the 2007 season. Sponsorship free and painted with the planet Earth on it, Honda sold every pixel on its livery with each donation helping towards climate change. This season's car has continued with promoting the dangers of climate change in a more subtle manner and once again no sponsorship - wise when you consider the car was previously run by BAT - British American Tobacco. Ok so you like Formula One, you love Honda, support Jenson Button (although you agree he's not much cop) and therefore want to reflect this in your everyday life - whilst saving the planet. The answer is a simple three words - Honda Civic Hybrid. Yep Honda has produced an eco-friendly car that doesn't need plugging into the wall, look stupid or cost the earth. The Honda Hybrid looks like any other saloon which when you consider the stylings of most electric or hybrid cars is a major plus point. Road Tax in the United Kingdom is stupidly expensive so having to fork out a mere £15 a year for driving the Civic Hybrid is probably all the encouragement you'll need to buy one. The other justification for buying one is that other than great fuel economy thanks to the electric motor doing a fair proportion of the work, it's actually a good drive. Yes it's not a 0-60mph monster but every other aspect is as you'd expect from a car from the Civic range - it's a main contender in the green race. So there you have it, buy a Honda Hybrid and watch Formula One guilt free. Now if Jenson could just overtake someone…

Will Hydrogen Cars Replace Hybrid Cars? : New honda hybrid gas cars 2008

Will Hydrogen Cars Replace Hybrid Cars?
by Wendy Gorman

Wouldn't you just know it, just as the Hybrid Car begins to make its presence felt as the saviour of tomorrows motorist (and the world) along comes another young pretender to the throne - The hydrogen fuelled car. Some people say that hydrogen cars will have pure refeshment water on tap. We shall see, in theory it could happen with a Hydrogen Car but they are way behind the Hybrid Car in their development program and forecasting is impossible. Hydrogen cars do however, have the potential to be better cars than Hybrid Cars in several ways so we need to compare their known characteristics.
Hydrogen cars use a chemical reaction rather than a burning process for motive power
Conventional cars burn fossil fuel and Hybrid Cars use smaller amounts of the same fuel to charge their batteries. Hydrogen Cars do not use fossil fuel at all. Instead Hydrogen Cars depend upon a chemical reaction between Hydrogen and Oxygen that produces a lot of energy plus pure water residue - a completely pollution free process. Hence the earlier reference to water on tap in Hydrogen cars. It is not possible for Hybrid Cars to achieve the same thing without breaking the Laws of Chemistry.
The reaction process in Hydrogen Cars produces up to three times the energy output from the equivalent gasoline based process in conventional and hybrid cars.
Hydrogen fuel burns both hotter and faster than fossil based fuel and is therefore much more efficient. In theory therefore it should be possible to design Hydrogen Cars that canreach incredible speeds with as yet unrealised acceleration compared to Hybrid Cars. There is simply no way that Hybid Cars, dependent as they are (in all their forms) on battery power, will be able to compete on this level.
The question arises "Is the hydrogen car concept for real?
Many people believe that Hybrid Cars reflect reality much more than Hydrogen Cars do. Hybrid Cars exist on our roads now and have already cut pollution emmissions by some 30% to 50%. Why then do we need to indulge in a possible flight of fancy such as the Hydrogen Car by investing vast sums of money to try to achieve the impossible?
The Hydrogen used in Hydrogen Cars is defined as a fuel carrier. It is not considered to be a fuel source in itself.
Indeed, it is hoped by some proponents of this type of fuel process, that in the future it will be possible to produce hydrogen with the use of such sources as wind power and other renewable energy sources.That means that hydrogen has to be produced from other sources. And people are hoping that hydrogen will be able to be produced from things such as wind power or other types of renewable sources. Right now, it looks like all we have is natural gas. That is the most efficient way to get hydrogen. And if that's the case, then there's no need to make hydrogen cars. Hybrid cars already cut down on how much gas people use. Who needs hydrogen cars that may end up costing us more in natural gas?
It will be hard create a lot of stations to fuel hydrogen cars
People are saying there is an overwhelming amount of challenges when it comes to creating the multitudes of hydrogen fueling stations that would be needed if millions of people suddenly started owning hydrogen cars. Hybrid cars use gas. And we already have gas stations.
But president Bush has made it clear that he wants hydrogen cars to be on the roads in significant numbers by the year 2020. So it seems that those who oppose hydrogen cars might just have to hold their breath and see if hydrogen cars actually live up to the lofty promises people associate with them. If they don't live up to their promises, people will probably start running back to hybrid cars in droves. And that's not too bad. Hybrid cars or hydrogen cars, one of them is going to get us to cleaner air.

Hydrogen For Cars : New honda hydrogen hybrid cars 2009

Hydrogen For Cars
by wordpressblogforlife
Hydrogen for cars ? What do you think of when you see the term "hydro powered car?" Do you imagine a car that uses water instead of petrol as fuel? You should think of a hydro powered car and think of something slightly different, a cross between all hydrogen for cars and one that somehow uses water as fuel. These types of car famously call as a car that runs on water.
The idea of using water or hydrogen for cars directly as fuel is still in children science fiction. On the face of it, the idea seems ridiculous. Yet today you can buy hydro powered car kits that use the hydrogen as fuel (to supplement the petrol) in standard automobiles, resulting in much higher mileage.
Hydrogen For Cars
What the relation between hydrogen and water? You should understand this before read all the entire article. Hydrogen is one component in molecule of water. Molecule of water is H2O. H is for hydrogen and O for oxygen. That's why this hydrogen for cars is said to use water as fuel.
Why Should You Care?
This kind of hydrogen for cars definitely isn't the futuristic all-hydrogen automobile you may have heard about, or the apparently mysterious vehicle that runs on just tap water that we would all love to have. So why should you mind about this kind of hydrogen-petrol hydro powered car? There are lots of good reasons:
If you've buy petrol lately, you know that the price is high and become highest in this year. Hydrogen for cars can get much higher mileage than an all-petrol car, which means big reserves on gas.
Petrol comes with lots of baggage. The West's dependence on overseas oil makes it reliant on countries like Iraq and Iran. Anything that reduces Western addiction on their oil reduces the risks. That's why hydrogen for cars concept is important to American.
The sad information is that Americans did not enough information about hydrogen for cars concept. Most basically don't live in place where another option of fuels is readily available. Don't forget toxic waste. Burning petrol for fuel pollutes the air. Hydrogen for cars concept gets better mileage and so reduces that effluence.
How Does This Kind of Hydrogen for Cars Work?
How can water, the same material that comes from your kitchen tap, be used to fuel your automobile engine? The key is hydrogen. What is water when you go down to the molecular structure? Two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. Get the hydrogen out of the water and mix it with your car's petrol and voila! Hydrogen for cars concept have been established
Hydrogen for cars that use hydrogen is a highly advantageous resource of fuel because it delivers lots of power and burns with almost no pollutants. But hydrogen for cars concept that run solely on hydrogen aren't geared up yet and won't be realistic for a while. Using hydrogen as a supplemental fuel like use in hydrogen for cars concept is a safe and sound and efficient alternative that's offered right now.
Hydrogen for cars kits available today use electricity to exchange regular water into hydrogen and oxygen in your car as needed. The hydrogen is instantaneously mixed with the car's petrol and burned, delivering superior fuel effectiveness and cleaner exhaust. It is an ultimate answer for today's world, and thousands of communities around the world have purchased these kits to adapt their own vehicle into hydrogen for cars concept.
