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.

You can get some reasonable used motorcycles in that price range, especially if you wait until October or November.

Buying a scooter -2 options electric or gas?




froggygeek


Hey I need help with a upcoming purchase I'm planning to make. I need a stand-up scooter to get to college/ back/ more every day next year. The state I live in does not permit a motorized bike/ moped ( or anything that is motorized with a seat) to be driven without a driver's or a motorcycle license- and I have neither.

I graduated early and because I'm going to college I have no money.. but because I don't need to pay for insurance on a car or motorcycle ( and I'm a young male so I'm glad ) I have managed to get a $1200 budget which is pretty fair I'd say.
----------------------------------------------
So I looked around online and found 2 respectable scooters - One is electric - On is petrol powered
and I would like to know which of these I should choose or if there is another option that would work better for me? -
The petrol version is a GoPed brand scooter - the GSr46R - Pretty fast 35 mph+ stock.. but because this is my little scooter, and like anyone with a car, I'm looking to tune it up.. and I have an arrangement that is just under 1200 dollars that will get this thing going upwards to 50+, of course I don't need that speed, but I figured if I'm spending this kinda money on a scooter, its gotta be nice, I also plan to use this as entertainment as well

The electric can be seen here - http://superscootersales.com/?wpsc-product=super-turbo-1000-lithium -
It took me quite a while to find a Lithium powered scooter for this price, and with this power... I refuse to get a Sealed Lead Acid battery because while I surely can do without the weight, and charging time.. the life span is what concerns me. This scooter company claims this thing will last upwards of 1000-1500 cycles which is pleasing... but with a top speed of (possibly) 32 mph its a little upsetting because again I don't need the speed for the general transportation, I would certainly use it if I could.

Pros & Cons of the Gas Scooter-
Pros first-
Name Brand, Well known, & Trusted Company (and site)
Speed - Tuned, I can ride this thing going (up to) 55 which may be illegal but I don't mind ;)
Life Span - Some Years, I will take care of it
Perfectly Priced & Customized

Cons
Noise - This is the reason these things are illegal in other states and I don't want that to happen here, because of me. Its louder with the expansion chamber I would apply but I've put many silencers and smoother mechanisms into the design I wish to buy (hopefully will help)
Gas/Oil - Surely Gas isn't a problem, I believe it gets about 60+ mpg and runs 21 miles per 1.5l tank.. which is good.. but its partially oil.. I'm not sure how much is used per tank, I haven't crunched the numbers but it may concern me if I need to buy specific oil every now and then just to use this thing- depends on how often
Electric---------
Pros
1000 watt Battery - Best you can get in a stock scooter
Lithium - Lasts Longer, Lighter, More powerful, Faster Charge
32 mph top speed - Great for electric .. Might be worth it
Rechargeable.. simplicity is nice :P
Silent - Perfect
Cons
Brand - Good Product Reviews & Customer Service - Not as known as GoPed
Stock- No customization/ personality :(
Speed - Good & Bad - can't decide - I just don't want to be disappointed . and I know I wont with the gas version

I know that's alot to read .. And if you did, you rock you'll definitely have a better answer ;D than others who didn't read this.



Answer
I'd say. Go for the electric. Because i think GSr46R has a 2 stroke engine. so it would be much nosier and will produce a lot of smoke. And a small scooter like that is not very stable when you reach 45-50
