Mercy Took Tour Around The World Without Gasoline

DETROIT - Mercedes-Benz wants to show the world about fuel-cell technology is applied to the B-Class models. The car is not only on display at the event of NAIAS 2011. At the opening of the exhibition, (Januari 10, 2011), the German car manufacturers did ceremony of the three units of B-Class F-Cell which would travel around the world.

Three units of Mercedes-Benz B-Class's Fuel Cell technology is ready round the world

The journey took 125 days, beginning late January next split four continents with over 14 countries with different characteristics of weather and air temperature. The goal, campaigning for the effectiveness of use of fuel cell technology in an ordinary car (conventional).

The three units of B-Class fuel-cell were powered by electricity generated from the reaction of oxygen and hydrogen. Once the road, the car had 136 HP and torque of 290 Nm able to travel a distance of 400 km.

"Today, 125 years ago, automotive was first created. But we are confident we will find another solution to utilize the tremendous potential of this," said by Thomas Weber, member of the Daimler Group Research and Development as reported autoevolution

Unbelievable! Urine-Fueled Cars

A company based in Athens, Ohio, USA and the students at Ohio University has been researching ways to produce energy from human urine, and to prove this technology to function, the team is making a small car driven by human urine.

In theory, the existing content of urea in the urine contains a lot of hydrogen. With extract them it will be presented a lot of energy through the hydrogen gas produced. And for that, E-3 Technologies, a company based in Athens, Ohio, is developing a urine-processing technology as its core.

Problem raw materials later will be available in various ways. Starting to get it from the public toilets and offices, or holding a larger collector through cooperation with the factory

waste water treatment.

So, for now, do not pee in the tank of your car before this technology allowed for it.

Go green again! Advanced Bike Without Chain

TECHNOLOGY in the field of vehicles and transportation equipment has developed so rapidly, is no exception with a bunch of bikes. University of Pennsylvania offered a unique prototype bike called Alpha Bike.

This is a bike that turns the wheels do not use alias chainless chain drive. A quite amazing is, the driving system can be changed from fixed gear to freewheel mode electronically.

Bicycle production is entirely carried out in-house. Both drive systems, brake systems, and electronic equipment, all hidden inside the bike frame. Amazingly, this human-powered vehicle has a LCD screen on the handlebars that can update a variety of travel information.

At the bottom bracket at a location mechanism Alpha Bike Switchable Integrated Free-Fixed Transmission (SWIFT) Drive system designed by the University of Pennsylvania senior Mechanical Engineer that is Geoff Johnson, Lucas Hartman, Katie Savarise, Evan Dvorak, Katie Rohacz together with Dr. Jonathan Fiene as supervisor.

SWIFT Feature utilizing electronically regulated clutch to change between modes fixed-gear and freewheel, who joined the central axis made of maraging steel AMS-6514, a clutch plate and pulley 6Al4V Titanium-belt pulleys made of stainless steel.

Front wheel hub shaft or drum brakes and dynamo includes providing power for electronic devices, supplying electricity to two of the super capacitor in order to perform various functions of sensors and micro-controller device (microcontroller). While the rear wheel axle, planetary-gear contains a compact 3-speed that is controlled via a conventional cable.

LCD screen on the handlebar offers the rider with a variety of useful information like: time, distance, cadence, wheel speed and gear selected. Information dynamics of the bike itself is stored in an SD card that can be checked upon completion of driving.

Unfortunately, no information is available about the comparative performance of the prototype drive system without this chain with the conventional model. Not also given information whether this vehicle will be produced or not.

A clear goal of this project is to create a bike with a system that is more compact and integrated. Thanks to their creations, the team Alpha Bike maker managed to get a gift Gemmil Award in the event the Senior Design Competition 2011, held by the University

Propane Autogas is exactly better option as an Alternative Fuel

Do you know the third most popular transportation fuel behind gasoline and diesel in many countries? Surprise – it’s propane, the same stuff that often powers rural homes and it is frequently used by millions of barbeques.

Worldwide, over 14 million vehicles in nearly 40 countries are now applying on autogas, the designation for propane motor fuel in most places outside the U.S. In the U.S., autogas refers to automobile gasoline that is used in piston engines powering light aircraft in place of high octane aviation gasoline or avgas. There are about 400,000 vehicles, mostly commercial, running on propane on U.S. roads.

The beneficial of using propane in an internal combustion engine includes decreased toxic and smog-forming air pollutants. There is 20 percent less nitrous oxide, 60-90 percent less carbon monoxide, 50-75-percent less unburned hydrocarbons, and fewer particulate emissions. Carbon dioxide emissions are decreased some 20 percent compared to gasoline. Unlike natural gas that is mainly methane, should propane be released into the atmosphere it is not assumed as a greenhouse gas. However, greenhouse gases, mainly CO2, are resulted when processing and combusting LPG. Propane is nontoxic and does not make environmental damage if spilled.

Between 85-90 percent of LPG used in the U.S. comes from domestic sources. Most of the remainder come from Canada. Both countries own very abundant feedstocks, with LPG either extracted from natural gas or sourced as a byproduct of crude oil processing. The weaknesses of propane include lesser availability, at least in the U.S., and a lower heating value, or energy content, than gasoline. About 5 percent less energy is supplied from LPG, which is realized into a somewhat lower miles-per-gallon (of gasoline equivalency) rating.

Engines need complicated modifications to use propane, which are different than modifications for using natural gas. Also, steel tanks must be installed to store propane. Since propane is not widely provided everywhere, bi-fuel vehicles that can either run on propane or gasoline are typical. As is the case with any bi-fuel vehicle, this increases flexibility but also greater complexity and cost, neccassery tanks for both propane and gasoline, thus reducing space for carrying people and cargo.

Typically, LPG is less expensive than gasoline or diesel, although not by a sufficient margin in the U.S. to move beyond fleet use. That’s not the case in many parts of the world, though, especially in Europe where gasoline can cost as much as $9 a gallon. Thus, a large number of automakers selling cars there to offer propane powered vehicles, most bi-fuel versions that can run on autogas or gasoline. Poland is the leader here with over two-million autogas capable vehicles. Italy is second with over a million on the road. Propane is also popular in Australia and South Korea, where Hyundai makes a hybrid LPG-electric vehicle. The Elantra LPI (Liquefied Petroleum Injection) Hybrid is the first to combine these two fuel saving technologies.

While Americans typically consider propane is only applied for commercial vehicles and forklifts (nearly a half million forklifts run on propane), more consumer and performance-oriented vehicles are offered in other markets. Here, propane can cost half as much as gasoline, thus easily paying for an Autogas-capable vehicle’s added price tag. Many are supercharged to compensate for the lower power produced when operating on autogas.

Because propane possesses a higher octane rating than today’s gasoline (MON/RON of between 90 and 110) it lends itself for use with supercharging, with the higher octane make easy the higher effective compression ratio that comes with supercharging. Consumers in other parts of the world can opt from a wide range of vehicles equipped by factory-built LPG from major brands. But this not the case in North America where automakers have not offered such vehicles since Ford discontinued its bi-fuel propane F-150 pickup in 2004. There are several noted aftermarket companies that retrofit both gasoline and diesel vehicles to run on LPG in addition to conventional fuel. In the U.S. these conversions are still mostly done on commercial vehicles like pickups, vans, and shuttle buses.

Peugeot 508 Active 1.6 eHDi as promising alternative car

Big Peugeots have still pioneered the existance to become big sellers in the UK for years and this car exists mainly for China where it will also be developed. Though Peugeot doesn't point out the B-word, it reveals the quality and value of the 508 might tempt buyers from the cheaper BMW 3-Series and It also make Audis interested in developing it.

Equipped by the gearbox and the 1.6 litre eHDi can be a very economical and comfortable car, however it does decrease the joie de vivre of the 1.6 petrol manual and doesn't take driving as smoothly. Order books are now open for the 200bhp/99gCO2/km hybrid due next year with electrical drive to the rear wheels.

EXPLAINING PERFORMANCE

Economy champion is really the 112bhp, 1.6 litre turbo diesel with a six-speed semi-automatic transmission. Because it's not a dual clutch system, it's a case of nodding dog head movements for all on board in automatic mode, unless the driver faces anticipating the gear changes and eases back on the power. Taking control using the steering wheel paddles to change gear is best course. Acceleration to 60mph takes 11.3 seconds while the car will ease to a top speed of 118mph. Max torque of 202 lbs ft from 1,750rpm and max power comes at 4,000rpm.

TALKING ABOUT HANDLING

Despite Peugeot's media hype about driving sensations and 'setting the standard in terms of road-holding' the 508 is more about comfort and cruising than cornering agility. The chassis is much similar to Citroen's C5 but with different suspension. Only the top spec GT takes and applies double wishbone front suspension, the rest use cheaper and lighter MacPherson struts, but with the speeds possible on the test routes near Stratford upon Avon I couldn't point out any difference. Maybe the steering was a bit sharper, but maybe the tyres were different, but if we hadn't been stated would we have seen?

KNOWING BODY STYLE

Views are of a more discreet Audi, now that Audis are rather fancy, and I assume will surpass on car sales. The 508 is better proportioned from most angles than the long nosed Peugeot 407 it replaces (along with the bigger 607) and particularly imposing with black or white paintwork. Directly astern is a worse view, as the car seems taller and narrower than it actually is. The estate car, or SW model, is arguably more elegant than the saloon but sloping rear window means you risk cooking the family Labrador in hot weather. Tall boot is a generous size. Length 4792mm. Width 1853mm.

OBSERVING COMFORT & CONTROLS

Easy and simple to get in and drive, but exploring the sound system, on-line functions, cruise control/speed limiter and head-up display (if fitted) means wasting time with the handbook. Thickly padded seats were plush and comfortable with electric lumbar support adjustment. All but the lower models own the curse of the electronic parking brake.

SW Estate models get a long glass sunroof which puts a lot of weight where you don't wish it for handling – high up. The sunroof means tall drivers may find headroom tight in the driver's seat, although head and legroom is sufficient in the rear seats.

MPG & RUNNING COSTS

This big 1.6 ton family saloon is able to astonish economy according to official fuel test figures with 55.4mpg on the urban cycle, 70.6mpg on the extra urban cycle and 64.2mpg on the combined cycle. This is managed at a fuel cost of around 9.8p per mile. We observed 53.4mpg on the mixed motoring test route. Carbon dioxide emissions of 109g/km slot the Peugeot 1.6 eHDi into band B with free first year road tax and £20 per year after that. Service intervals reasonably accepted are every 12,500 miles. Warranty is three years/60,000 miles.

TALKING ABOUT GREEN CREDENTIALS

Carbon dioxide emissions of 109g/km are fantastic for a car of this size and weight and similar to the diminutive Peugeot 107 city car introduced six years ago. Fuel to the engine is cut under braking as quick as the car drops under eight mph. Slip it into neutral when stationary and you don't have to blind the driver behind with your brake lights. The engine restarts quickly and smoothly when you select D. Charge from a special capacitor keeps the radio, air con, wipers etc going while the engine is off. A diesel particulate filter to clean up the exhaust is matched as standard. Automatic radiator flaps make sure the engine to operate at the ideal temperature while minimising aerodynamic disturbance.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

Keyless entry with start/stop engine button is all the rage these days, though you don't obtain it on a £230,000 Ferrari because Ferrari reveals a key is an crucial part of the driving experience. Peugeot also submits a head-up windscreen display of speed/sat nav info etc that you also don't obtain in a Ferrari. Standard fittings include halogen headlamps, alloy wheels, air conditioning, automatic headlamps and wipers, cruise control, electric window front and rear. Metallic paint is £450, Bluetooth phone system £205 and rear parking sensors £330.

Hydrogen and CO2 mixed for alterantive fuel accomplished by Audi e-gas Project

One of the weaknesses of renewable energy sources like wind and solar is how difficult to control their fluctuating electrical output to coincide with power demand. Audi's e-gas project make a solution. Abundant electrical power would be applied to make hydrogen by electrolysis and e-gas –synthetic methane – by the methanation of hydrogen.

This would make hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles, e-gas for natural gas vehicles, and electricity for electric models. It would also overcome storage of excess electrical capacity, when converted to e-gas, in the largest energy-storage system resulted: the natural gas network.

Audi is building an e-gas plant consisting of two main elements, an electrolyzer and a methanation unit The electrolyzer running on green electricity applies polymer electrolyte membranes to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Since there are still few fuel cell vehicles, initially the hydrogen will be used by the methanation unit. Here, hydrogen is mixed with carbon dioxide to create e-gas. Methanation uses CO2 rather than discharging it into the atmosphere. Although e-gas is really synthetic natural gas or methane, Audi calls it e-gas.

After three years of research, Audi is now achieving the practical phase. In January 2011, a lab facility with an output of 25 kilowatts was set up for testing purposes. In mid-2011, Audi and several partners will invest several tens of millions of euros to initiate construction of an e-gas facility in Werlte, Germany. The Audi e-gas project can be exactly replicated in any country with an existing natural-gas network.

Starting in 2013, Audi will initiate series production of the Audi A3 TCNG with an engine applying Audi's TFSI technology that can operate on e-gas, CNG, or conventional gasoline when neither alternative fuel is provided.

Audi also plays a role to the construction of offshore North Sea wind turbines. During the project’s first phase, four large powerplants at an offshore wind park in the North Sea are being funded by Audi and a regional power supply company. Rated at 3.6 megawatts each, these four turbines can provide and supply some 53 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually.

Audi handed Solutions of Free Pollution

WRONG one drawback to electric vehicles is not because of mileage and speed are limited, and not for charging the batteries that take a long time. The problem is, this vehicle remains re electrocuted (charge) to use electricity generated by coal-fired power plants or nuclear pollution and still have a bad impact on the environment.

Seeing this, the German car manufacturer Audi hopes to reduce this problem in the future through a vehicle that really does not produce CO2. And most importantly, not by planting some trees absorbing CO2 as did the other car makers.

This time, Audi launched a new initiative called 'Audi balanced mobility' and the principal in this aspect is the project 'e-gas'.

In a presentation in Hamburg, Germany at the weekend, Audi presented a concept that is very clean energy source and Audi will be involved directly in production. It's a very bold step compared to other vehicle manufacturers who limit themselves to buying clean energy from a third party.

Audi will build fasiitas energy generation utilizing wind power. The facility will be built in the North Sea. The electricity generated will be used in several different areas.

Production unit will take advantage of wind-powered generating electricity were to produce hydrogen through electrolysis process. Hydrogen can be used in future as an energy source for fuel-cell vehicles. The next step it will be developed to produce methane gas which can be referred to as e-gas. These gases are chemically identical to natural gas and fuel can be used as a conventional engine.

In 2013, Audi will launch a variant of the vehicle with the engine e-gas-fueled. Good again, e-gas generated can be channeled through all the existing fuel infrastructure now that present a solution to address how clean energy can be stored efficiently.

Electricity generated by wind-powered energy generation can certainly be attributed to the replenishment system of electric vehicle battery charging system that provides a truly environmentally friendly.

Toyota Launches Prius Alpha as third Generation of Prius

TOKYO - It's One more that Toyota issued a new variant. Toyota's Prius the third generation, known as A Prius (Prius Alpha) has been launched in Japan.

This vehicle offers an interior with multiple seating arrangements and it is the basis for the five-seat Prius V to be launched in North America this summer. Prius seven seats are planned for Europe in mid-2012.

Prius is a feature two interior configurations: models of two rows of five seats and seven seats, three-model line, third line of the latter assisted by a battery-efficient lithium-ion drive space on the center console.

In addition, the vehicle features the Toyota Hybrid System II, with gear reduction motor speed and Atkinson cycle engine 1.8liter. Fuel efficiency is 73mpg and produces the equivalent CO2 89g/km. This exceeds the standard in Japan in 2010 about fuel efficiency by 25 percent and meet the standards of the new 2015 Japanese fuel efficiency under the Law Concerning Rational Use of Energy.

To reduce environmental impact, Toyota used the Eco-Vehicle Assessment System for companies to review the materials, processing methods and adhesives to the interior. A Prius also has a power indicator wheel vehicle with a hybrid system indicator that shows when the gasoline engine off and the vehicle supported by only the electric motor alone.

Land Rover Defender Safari Powered by Electricity

Cheapest Electric Supersport Motorcycles from Roehr and It's informative

Illinois-Despite it does not give the impression of "load roar", because it does not produce a noise like a gasoline engine, but the number of companies continue to introduce electric motorcycles continues to grow. In fact, it's in terms of more stylish and sophisticated appearance.

See, Roehr's eSuperSport Motorcycle ts made by this American. Appearance and style is similar to supersport motorcycle fueled by gasoline. Overview hard differ them! It's just because no exhaust, one would expect this type of electric motorcycles. For this Roehr their first electric motorcycle produced to the public and has received permission to be accelerated on the highway.

In terms of prices, it like most electric cars, including expensive. Roehr eSuperSport this offer price of 17,995 U.S. dollars. These are considered as the cheapest motorcycle.

If the motorcycle is in his home country to obtain an incentive - because environmentally friendly - the price still remains at USD 100 millions. Exactly for bikers who want to buy a motorcycle or incentive will obtain pieces of Federal and state governments, 3598 U.S. dollars, or USD 30 million. Means, which must be spent to get it is USD 124 million!

Hyosung

This motorcycle uses an electric motor an alternating current (AC), which produces power 67 PS (50 kW) and can operate at 8000 rpm rotation. Roehr choose AC induction motor for efficiency and reliability of electric motors is better than direct current (DC). Includes ability to "regenerative energy" when the motorcycle brakes.

Activator is used together with the Hyosung Motors of Roehr. In this case the electric motor for motorcycle can run and being used by TR650R Hyosung machines. But for the other components, including transmission of the acceleration, it is developed and produced by Roehr. To move the power wheel, single speed gear Roehr, ie 20:60.

it explained similarly, the total weight of this bike including lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4) is used for 213 kg. The motorcycle is claimed by Roehr can speed up to reach a maximum speed of 160 km / hour.

Although the "cheapest" in the product line of Roehr, but the appearance is considered fixed and sporty style. To the same suspension components and brakes, also taken over from supersport motorcycle parts. 45 1mmm diameter of front forks. Furthermore, for the rear suspension, single sokbreker premises swing arm to be progressive. Another extra is a two disc brakes in front owning diameters of 300 mm coupled with aluminum rims and tires 17 inches.

The ability of the battery produces 400 Amperes istrik flow continuously and a maximum of 800 Amperes. For ease of use to recharge the battery, when sold already fitted with injection systems capable of producing an electric current 15 Ampere.

First wind-powered in the world named by wind explorer tested in Australia

Sydney: first wind-powered car in the world have arrived in Sydney, Australia, on Monday (14 / 2), after traveling the entire country of Kangaroo with only a cost of U.S. $ 16. Thus it was launched the Australian Associated Press (AAP).

The car, named Wind Explorer came to Sydney at around 14:00 local time on Monday after traveling more than 5,000 kilometers from Perth, via Adelaide and Melbourne.

Cars operate from the results of wind energy and it is a prototype built by Dirk Gion and Stefan Simmerer for about six months in Germany. This car is also powered by lithium-ion batteries charged for one night through the wind turbine mobile.

Wind Explorer prototype was so far seriously tested only in Australia. To the AAP, Gion also said, "We want to prove how well this technology, and we believe this technology will soon be present in the market."

Carbon-free emissions from Wind Explorer is very compact and low to the ground car-shaped pod that its size will be reduced and adjusted in the size of an ordinary car. This car is also very light with a weight of 200 kilograms. During the Australian tour, which it takes about three weeks, Gion and Simmerer to attract many spectators are curious want to see

Audi introduces three superlight wooden bikes

AUDI, as one of outstanding car makers, make a bike? It's true and possible. And what will itdefinitely imagine in your mind? I guess you will imagine a bike made ​​from a lightweight aluminumspaceframe, a material attached to the car manufacturer from Ingolstadt, Germany. Wait a minute!you're wrong this time frame bike made ​​of wood!

To make a bicycle with wooden frame, Audi embrace RenovoDesign, a company which is famous as a maker of bicycle frame made ​​of wood. As a result, Audi now have a bike with a monocoque frame made ​​of hard wood called Duo.

According to Audi, the finest wood offers a smoother ride of the another materials thanks to perfect its ability to absorb shocks and vibrations. Most surprisingly, Audi points out that for every cubic, wood owns a weight of only one quarter of the weight of aluminum.

That means, bicycle alerts with Audi Design Renovo frame is lighter than most other bikes. And more importantly, they still bring strength, durability and toughness are equal to the aluminum frame.

The most prominent of a series of bicycle-wheel drive Audi Duowas not using chains, but the belt drive. In addition, the duo alsobrings features components made ​​of aluminum and carbon fiber,disc brakes and LED lighting. Wood material was chosen to matchthe interior of the Audi car.

Audi Duo is offered in three variants. City Audi Duo, Duo and DuoSport Road which was all made by hand made handmade aliasthat the process worked in the studio Renovo in Portland, OregonUnited States.

As you might guess, this bike has a price is not cheap. For pricingand shipping, Audi Duo City priced U.S. $ 6,530,Audi Sport Duo U.S. $ 7,350 and the Audi DuoRoad to U.S. $ 7,460

Anti Leaking inner tube Bicycle

Producer Michelin introduced the product inner tube for bicycle wheels that are labeled PROTEK Max. Tire is not only easy to install but it is also to mend itself when it is punctured by sharp objects such as nails.

There are two interesting things on the Max PROTEK it has a square cross section and the funny little bumps on the surface. Square shape helps align for the tire inner tube while the outside is wrapped against velek.

According to Michelin, the design is able to simplify installation and prevent the tire in a twist that it often occurs in the conventional tire design surface smooth like sausages.

When the tire in the wind filled in the tire and then stuck a sharp object, textured surface that was funny created compress effect, not just widen the hole like in general. That means the internal air pressure would only clog the holes so that the cement substance can work perfectly forever.

Michelin also claims that the product is able to maintain air pressure longer. This was proven when it is tested to be compared with the cement to 'automatic' Michelin AIRSTOP tube. After using simulation puncture the tires, Max PROTEK more can survive twice as long.

Products in this bike new tires available for the bicycle commuter and mountain bikes. Currently available in size 700 x 35-4c and 26 x 1.4-2.125 inches with Shrader and Presta valve type with a retail price of U.S. $ 8.99.

Unfortunately at this time in the less popular tires is installed on cars. But maybe someday they will create a tire tubless truly capable of mending itself when it is pierced by sharp objects.

Hyundai talks about leading the market through Blue2's Fuel Cell Concept Car

Hyundai's Blue2 featuring a new concept of fuel-cell at the week's Seoul Motor Show this week. They wish that through this excellent vehicle could have a grip on the market in fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV / Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle). Does this mean that Blue2 will be manufactured?

Hyundai Vehicles by exterior design philosophy called 'Intersected flow', combining innovative design elements and dynamic. Is 'Intersected flow' will replace the current design language (Fluidic Sculpture)? It seems very doubtful.

Like most new concept car, the existence of the rearview mirror has been replaced with cameras. This vehicle also features a welcoming system which can identify the driver and automatically opens the door for him.

The most interesting part of the concept Blue2 is the continous source of energy that uses fuel cells hydrogen is able to present the power about 120 hp with a cruising range 34.9 kilometers for every liter of fuel.

Blue2 is also equipped with low rolling resistance tires and carry a very aerodynamic shape in an effort to reduce air resistance, which helps to improve fuel efficiency.

The futuristic Views are also balanced with a touch of high tech in the cabin. Blue2 utilizes organic LED screens and tempered glass ultra-light to show the variety of important information on the vehicle.

Even in his comfortable seat, there is a kind of cradle to hold a variety of gadgets such as Apple iPad tablet and tablet device in a format other.

Elegant Kia Naimo, Unique Stylish Electric Crossover for you

Seoul - Authorized South Korean carmaker, Kia Motors, carves a new wonderful history. It's really concerned with the happy celebration of Seoul Motor Show 2011 beginning today, the fantastic manufacturer had launched an electric-powered crossover.

The interesting page of usatoday.com and autoblog.com on Thursday (31 / 3) report that it is named by Naimo crossover - from the Korean language, Nehmo, meaning the box - designed by Kia's talented global team based in Seoul. The amazing car combines the Korean's mixed elements of art, technological sophistication, and unique skills.

"Overall design is simple but unique. Sunroof asymmetrical windscreen which surrounds the sides and front of the car, as well as headlights Light Emitting Diode (LED) that use the points are some of the uniqueness of it," said Kia statement.

Another uniqueness is Naimo not use the wipers as the car in general. Instead of erasing a splash of water in the glass when it rains, Kia install devices capable of blowing high pressure air under the glass.

The use of design and some of these features is a blend between traditional elements Korea with the latest technology.

Naimo carries an electric motor Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor PMSM. The motor is claimed to be capable of producing power to 80 kilowatts (or 107 horsepower) and torque of 280 Newton meters. As an energy storage stun a lithium ion polymer battery with a capacity of 27 kilowatt hours of mounted below the car deck.

When the battery is fully charged, the car was able to travel distances up to 200 kilometers. Charging process is easy, when using the quick way it only takes 25 minutes and the battery is 80 percent. However, when using the standard way takes 5.5 hours.

Another attraction of Naimo is, the elegance of the interior space. A cross between traditional and modern elements to create a sense of comfort to anyone who entered it.

Modern elements in the cabin seen in the futuristic design style. The impression that radiate from the instrument panel using transparent organic LEDs.

Only, until now wonderful Kia Motors did not submit formal information whenever the elegant car was massively produced and marketed, including the price set.

It should be not ignored about Amazing Car Racing Formula 3, Apart Fast And Delicious

LONDON - This is the fantastic car racing Formula 3 (F3) the world's first use of biofuel (BBN) or biodiesel derived from chocolate. As a result, people who saw it commented: "In addition to fast, too delicious!"

No less interesting, the strong wheel uses a carrot base material, while the dectile body of the potato! Then certainly, this is not F3 vegetables or a representative model for food for the wonderful party. It is a elegant F3 car which is exactly made in accordance with complicated racing specifications and serve as the interesting appeal by a group of researchers from the outstanding University of Warwick, Conventry, West Midland, England.

Already Introduced

What can it be indeed made by F3 racing cars of foodstuffs and vegetables? If it could be, it certainly would cause controversy. Because the manufacture of biofuel, mainly originating from food or nuts are also a staple food of man, now denounced by various humanitarian agencies of the world. Cause, there are still many people in the wonderful world who are still experiencing shortages of food, to be in starvation. However, it won't be problematic if it's applied for car racing. Wow!

For this surprishing project, WNG is working with the Warwick Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre. Explained also by a college team is, in fact they really want to show and prove to the related industry which environmentally friendly cars can be made at this time.

Environmentally friendly they mean not only exhaust emissions are low, but, if they can not be used again, the magnificent car can be recycled easily. In addition, it's easily obtained and it can be updated. "We are trying so that we can streamline the vital resources that exist on our planet," said the high pengguruan in a release.

All the cars meet the standards of fantastic racing Formula 3, except for diesel engines. Especially for machines, parts that must be adjusted with the fuel it uses, that biofuels made from waste vegetable oil plus chocolate. In the actual race, F3 may not use the biofuel.
