I've heard of hydrogen, solar powered and ethanol powered cars, but is there another one? and is there any that could become standard within 15 years?

Please star this cause I want the most answers for this.

Answer
Some people think that natural gas could be the fuel of choice in some countries in the future as it burns cleaner and is more abundant in the US and others. Bio-butanol could also be one potential source...it's compatible with current engine designs and infrastructures and is renewable using bacteria.

Synthetic gasoline can be produced using nanopellets of hydrogen which flow like liquids and burn clean.

What are household products that are on the periodic table of elements?

Lydia Silv

please I need this for a science project.I need 30. :)

Answer
You mean, Elements by Themselves?
EDIT :N: Nitrogen--used to fill incandescent bulbs.
C Carbon, coal, charcoal briquettes carbon rod in battery, graphite in pencils and some golf club shafts. Diamonds in tools and rings. Carbon fiber in body of 2011 Corvette,
Ne-Neon, in a neon pilot light on stove or something, or if you have a neon sign
EDIT: Kr-Krypton: --in some flash light light bulbs.
Mg=Magnesium--in a sparkler or the sacrificial anode in a water heater. Used in old flash bulbs.
Aluminum--in cans, window frames. Some houses wired with Al.
Silicon--Integrated Circuits in P/C's and TVS, other electronics; Transistors, Diodes,etc.
Phosphorus: Match heads and striking surface.
Sulfur: Match heads, flowers of sulfur
Titanium--in some bike frames and golf club shafts. Alloy in some drill bits and tools.
Chromium--plating on tools, cars, bicycles, and in alloys like stainless steel.
Fe--Iron. Used in wrought iron, alloyed to make steel..
Cu-Copper. In copper wire for house and electric motors.
Zn-Zinc--in batteries., alloyed to make brass.
Ge=-Germanium--used in some diodes in some radios and older radios in transistors.
As=-Arsenic--in rat traps
Selenium-in night lights "electric eyes". also in motion sensors.
MO-Molybdenum--sometimes in alloys (mixtures) in springs, metals, tools.
Ag-Silver--in coins, jewelry
Cd-Cadmium--in Ni Cad batteries
Sn-Tin. Lining for tin cans, alloys in solder to make connections in TVS, P.C/., other electronics.
Sb-Antimony: Alloyed with lead in car batteries (makes the lead harder)
I-Iodine-- in a solution in tincture of iodine
Tungsten--Light bulb filaments, and in picture tube fils,
Iridium--In catalytic converters
Platinum--in catalytic converters, some jewelry
Au-Gold-Jewelry, crowns, tooth fillings (sometimes), old coins
Hg -Mercury-used in "silent" light switches, some tubes in old radios/TVS, in fluorescent tubes.
Pb-Lead--used in alloy for solder and car batteries
Rh=Rhodium=--used in catalytic converters.
Bismuth. In Pepto-Bisnmol--not sure if compound or not.
Ra-Radium-- in some watches and compasses to make them glow
Hydrogen--sometime Tritium used for the glow in night sights in some rifle scopes
Ni-Nickel--used in plating and Ni-Cad batteries. Also alloyed in stainless steel.
EDIT: Americium, Am241, used in smoke alarms.
Li-Lithium--used in some pool chlorinate and in LiO batteries for cell phones, lap tops, etc (as a Compound of Li),
That's 30. Not sure if all are elemental...forgive spelling I'm tired, Long, unproductive day.
