Relieve yourself to run your car

We have been hearing about fuel cells for quite a long time and we know that cars running fuel cells (made of hydrogen) are already a reality. Now Chemistry World reports that the catalyst could not only fuel the hydrogen-powered cars of the future, but could also help clean up municipal wastewater. Gerardine Botte of Ohio University uses an electrolytic approach to produce hydrogen from urine - the most abundant waste on Earth - at a fraction of the cost of producing hydrogen from water. Urine's major constituent is urea, which incorporates four hydrogen atoms per molecule - importantly, less tightly bonded than the hydrogen atoms in water molecules. Botte uses electrolysis to break the molecule apart, developing an inexpensive new nickel-based electrode to selectively and efficiently oxidise the urea. To break the molecule down, a voltage of 0.37V needs to be applied across the cell - much less than the 1.23V needed to split water. Her work is described in ...

Save Fuel - Driving Tips

Do not use the clutch too much. Switch the vehicle off at red light stops. Drive in gear corresponding to the speed. Get your vehicle serviced regularly. A poorly tuned engine can increase fuel consumption by up to 50% Driving at 90 kilometers an hour rather than 100 can reduce fuel consumption by 10% Under inflated tires can increase fuel consumption by 5% A loaded roof rack will increase fuel consumption by as much as 5% in highway driving. Even an empty roof rack can increase consumption by 1%. If the carrier is not attached to the vehicle, remove it when not in use. Avoid "Jack Rabbit"(fast acceleration of a motor vehicle from a stationary position) starts, not only do they increase fuel consumption, but are hard on your tires. Anticipating stops and avoiding abrupt stops will decrease fuel consumption and increase the life of your brakes and tires. Avoid unnecessary steering wheel movement since each sideward movement of the tire causes fuel-consumin...
