see, I am cuter, and I will be next generation of electric car

     Cars are used by us everyday, it is hard to inmagine life without cars. When we are enjoying the convenience which cars bring us, we also suffer the environment pollution it causes, in order to solve this delimma, scientists have try their best to develop a new kind of car which use electricity as fuel to keep the engine work. When there is a market, there will have competition, the following are the competition between two car companies which will the future trendency of car development.

    The Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf will square off later this year in a battle that could determine the course of the 21st-Century auto industry.

   The Volt and Leaf electric cars take two radically different approaches to reducing oil consumption and emissions. The compact Volt will cover 40 miles on a charge and use an on-board generator for longer trips. The subcompact Leaf’s bigger battery pack promises a 100-mile range but won’t be capable of longer trips and will require hours of charging time after a long drive.

   The vehicles’ prices will also differ significantly. Nissan has announced the Leaf will retail for $25,280, after a $7,500 federal tax credit. Chevrolet has not revealed the Volt’s sticker price, but it’s expected to cost around $32,500 after the same tax credit.

  The Volt arrives in dealerships this November. The Leaf follows a month later.

  The cars represent multibillion-dollar bets by GM and Renault-Nissan. The winner will be the early leader in a new technology that’s expected to eventually dominate the worldwide auto industry.

  Electric cars have their ups and downsYou can’t get lower than zero. You can’t drive farther than forever.

   In a nutshell, those are the key selling points for the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt, respectively — the first new electric cars expected to sell in large numbers in a century.

   The cars promise different things, but they’ll be direct competitors as General Motors and Nissan-Renault try to define what a modern electric vehicle is, what customers should expect, how much they’ll pay and whether they should accept any compromises compared with conventional cars.

   The company with the winning approach will have an early lead in the technology likely to dominate the 21st-Century auto industry.

   The Leaf promise: Zero, zilch, nada direct petroleum consumption and exhaust emissions. Your car will never burn a drop of gasoline.

   The Volt guarantee: No emissions or oil used on the 40-mile and shorter drives that constitute daily driving for around 70% of Americans, and absolute certainty you’ll never be stranded by a dead battery.

    Which car is suitable for you? Which car will lead the way in future car market? Let us wait and see.

      Nowadays generators are widely used in our daily life, they can supply us with electricity for daily use,especially when we are short of electricity which is because of terrible weather, we need this kind of delicate device. it is ok for us to use under good weather condition,but when the weather get worse,we should handle this device carefully, the following are the tips for using generator under extremely bad weather condition.

     Cattaraugus County Emergency Services have issued generator safety guidelines in response to the recent severe weather throughout the area.

• Always operate a generator outside a home in a ventilated area, well away from any windows, doors, vents and other openings.
• Purchase a carbon monoxide detector and install it in your home.
• Never operate a generator on the balcony of a multi-unit building such as an apartment or condominium.
• Never refuel a generator while it’s running or still hot.
• Never overload the generator.
• Never connect a portable generator to the main electrical panel in your home.
• Carefully inspect a generator after long storage periods for broken or missing parts. Wipe off dust.
• Store the generator in a dry, ventilated area with its fuel tank empty.
• Before storing, clean the generator by removing oil all oil and dirt.
• Do not store the generator near fuel supplies.

    Since we has known the above suggestions, we can use generator safely and efficiently under bad weather condition. When we happen to meet these conditions, we can handle them easily.

Choose camping generators according its appliance

If you are trying to decide what kind of generator you need for tent camping, you must decide what kind of appliances you will be running with it. For lights, small TV set and phone chargers, a generator whose power is 100 watt will do the trick. For running the small television, meanwhile, four or five light bulbs, a blender or toaster, you will want generator which is in the 2000 watt range. Above that size camping generators start to get heavy and bulky, and more noisy due to the increased size of the engine.

In addition to becoming larger, higher wattage generators become harder to pull start the bigger they get.

Choose a much quieter and cleaner generator

Inverter type generators produce a more pure sine wave which means cleaner power, unlike cheaper generators which create a choppy power signal, which can cause problems with many electronic items such as televisions and computers.

Inverter type generators such as those made by Honda and Kawasaki are typically much quieter than traditional generators and may produce less than sixty decibels. This will reduce the amount of noise you generate in a campground.

Instead of running multiple items it is easier and cheaper to use a 1000 to 2000 watt inverter generator and plug in those items such as toasters when they are needed and unplug. Remember you are supposed to be camping and not living just like you do at home.

Remember to use a fuel stabilizer or drain the fuel when you leave it stored for long periods. Otherwise carburetor will gum up from old gas and it will be hard to start.

In an attempt to simultaneously save the environment and prove that opposites attract, Xcel Energy and Abengoa Solar have joined forces to produce the world’s first hybrid solar-coal power plant.

Located near Grand Junction, Colorado, the $4.5 million Colorado Integrated Solar Project intends to show that solar power can reduce the negative ecological impact of coal-fired power plants, considered to be the dirtiest of dirty power.

For a basic explanation on the seemingly complicated process, we defer to the good folks over at Earth & Industry:

In a traditional coal-fired power plant, coal that has been pulverized into a fine dust is burned to heat water until it becomes steam. The steam then turns the blades of a large turbine, which turns the generator and produces electricity. But if the fresh water is heated before it enters the boiler, less coal is needed in order to make the steam—and that is the principal behind Xcel’s Energy brand new solar-coal hybrid power plant in western Colorado.

No official word yet on a whether or not the obvious names for the new technology—be it “coalar” or “soal”—will take off.

One thing’s for sure—some environmental outlets consider the energy marriage to be a bit like putting lipstick on a pig.

According to Energy Wise:

As NASA scientist and leading climate expert James Hansen writes in his recent book Storms of My Grandchildren, “If we want to solve the climate problem, we must phase out coal emissions. Period.”

Hansen and others have shown that only if global coal emissions are completely phased out by 2030 could atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide be stabilized at between 400 and 425 ppm (which certainly seems unlikely from our current level of about 392 ppm), most likely averting some of the more dire climate scenarios. The U.S. currently gets about half of its electricity generation from coal; we better get started if we want that 2030 target to be remotely realistic.

Wind turbines are used to generate electricity from the kinetic power of the wind. Historical they were more frequently used as a mechanical device to turn machinery. There are two main kinds of wind generators, those with a vertical axis, and those with a horizontal axis. Wind turbines can be used to generate large amounts of electricity in wind farms both onshore and offshore. So wind energy can be produced form wind through using wind turbine, because of its cleanness and low cost, it is widely used in our daily life.

Wind energy is undoubtedly one of the cleanest forms of producing power from a renewable source. There is no pollution, there is no burning of fossil fuels, and unless something very drastic happens, you don’t run out of wind. But it’s not like you can erect a wind turbine anywhere and it will start generating power for you. There are lots of factors that can make an impact on the amount of energy you can generate out of wind.

l Wind

It being a wind turbine, its output first most depends on the wind. Both the speed and force of the wind can be deciding factors. The more wind speed and force you have got, the greater is the amount of power your wind turbine generates. Different regions have different wind speeds. You can gather the available wind dynamics data and using a model like Webull Distribution you can calculate how effective the wind of a particular region is going to be.

l Height

Places of higher altitudes have more wind due to various atmospheric factors. Besides, at higher places there is less obstruction from the surrounding hills, trees and building. In fact the height is so important that alternative energy scientists and engineers are trying to use kites (due to the heights they can easily reach) to tap the wind power.

l Rotor

The amount of energy produced by your wind turbine is proportional to the size of the rotor used, when all other factors have been taken into consideration. A bigger rotor certainly generates more power. Although it may cost more, in the long run, whenever you are getting a wind turbine erected, go for a big a rotor as possible.

Nowadays magnetic generator is widely used in daily life, because it is the greenest and newest generator which cause no harm to environment, it will become popular in the future.

The magnetic properties are utilized by magnetic energy generator to provide free electrical power to the household, this is essentially achieved by utilizing the strength of the magnets on the inside of generator, the major advantage for such an energy source is its permanent type, provides clean output, and environment friendly nature. This sort of energy to power the household energy requirements id almost free of cost using power generator.

The way that is used to generate a consistent current throughout the day is based on the concept of attraction and repulsion related properties of magnets. This generator has high efficiency features that provide efficiency at almost 500% as determined by experts. The energy generated by this power source can be utilized throughout the household without using any cables or electrical appliances, to be sure of the generator system running in a sound way, certain diagnostic tests should be performed on frequent basis. The generator does not allow any sort of harmful emission to spread into the surrounding atmosphere and prevents the spread of excess heat into the environment. The generator keeps working without being bothered by any sort of climatic changes happening around it. Certain high-speed types of magnetic generators are used in a variety of power appliances, and these generators are small and extremely efficient while generating power. Another advantage is that they are made of magnetic bearings, which does not require lubrication and have less maintenance issues and costs.

The distributed power applications require maximum use of these magnetic bearings for creating electrical power appliances like compressors that produce higher rate of energy per horsepower as compared to other types of generators. Whatever, a place where there is demand of electrical power but has problems related to controlling, the best bet would be to use these magnetic generators to perform this task. In case of extremely difficult off-grid locations, the magnetic power generators can do the trick to supply the required power. When a disaster strikes a certain location, these generators are extremely useful for rescue or reconstruction related operations.

The magnetic generator is widely used in today’s life, because of its high efficiency, low pollution and low cost, it will become the most popular generator in the world.

The magnetic generator belongs to the next generation of energy devices and is more efficient than solar and wind. The use of magnetic energy is not a new idea, but it is being developed for a long time as a real and visible alternative to conventional methods. You know, any device that reduces our dependency on the utility companies that supply our electricity has got to be good news, and building a magnetic generator is the best way to cut our power bill.

As is known to all, magnetic generated energy is one the best forms of energy which is being used world wide, for producing this type of energy, all you need is a permanent magnet generator, this is a special energy system which does not need big investment, and a permanent magnetic generator can be easily built and the energy used will be free of cost, the working principle of a permanent magnet motor is very simple and the maintenance cost is very low, once it is installed, the generator can be used for a long period of time.

The magnetic generator is considered the greenest of all the alternative energy systems. Here are the main benefits of building a homemade magnetic generator:

l      By using it, you can practically eliminate your electric bill or at least reduce it significantly.

l      Unlike other devices, it doesn’t produce any noise.

l      It doesn’t allow any sort of harmful pollutants to spread into the atmosphere and it’s completely eco-friendly.

l      No climatic changes can have any effect on it, because it can work in all weather conditions.

l      It can fulfill the energy requirements of your entire home

l      It requires a very low maintenance.

Nowadays everyone is trying to find a renewable source of energy, which is environment friendly. The appearance of magnetic generator can solve the existing fault in energy generating system, and it is a second to none generator which can save a good mount of money by using it in our home or office. In a word, magnetic generator is the newest and greenest generator which can lower our bill cost and cause no harm to environment.

Before the connection between magnetism and electricity was discovered, electrostatic generators were invented that used electrostatic principles. These generated very high voltages and low currents. They operated by using moving electrically charged belts, plates and disks to carry charge to a high potential electrode. The charge was generated using either of two mechanisms:

·             Electrostatic induction

·             The triboelectric effect, where the contact between two insulators leaves them charged.

Because of their inefficiency and the difficulty of insulating machines producing very high voltages, electrostatic generators had low power ratings and were never used for generation of commercially-significant quantities of electric power.

With the rapid development of technology, all kinds of modern generators are invented and used in every area of our daily life, and there is a lot of enterprise involved in producing generator, these generators offer families and companies comfortable and convenient life, which is especially important in today’s life. For example, now Generac is committed to produce generator to residential, commercial, industrial, portable and RV.

Here are the structure of generator, a conventional motor is rotated by outside working, that is, transform electric power into mechanic power after power on; whereas generator takes advantage of the change of magnetic flux to produce sensitive electromotive, that is, transform mechanic power into electric power, while general conventional generator/motor is of rotation type, that is, all mechanic power output by rotation work, or generate electric by the work of rotation; the generator/motor in current market normally apply Faraday’s law or Lenz’s law as generating or driven principle

Solar generator is a kind of generator which produces electricity through the direct shining of sun upon solar panels, and the electricity can charge battery, which supplies power for energy-saving lamp, recorder, television, DVD, satellite receiver and other products.

Solar generator can be divided into several parts, solar battery components, charging and discharging controller, inverter, test instruments, monitor and other electrical devices. It has protective functions, for example, when solar battery component is over charging or over discharging, it has function of protecting itself, solar generator can produce direct current which is 12V and alternative current which is 220V, and it has small occupation of space, easy for taking and using.

Now we’d like to introduce the advantage of solar generator, the advantages are as followed.

1, it supplies power independently, and is not subjected to environment. It doesn’t need fuel and mechanical transmission component, it can be produced at a short period, so the scale can be at your will.

2, compared with fire generator and nuclear generator, solar generator doesn’t cause environment pollution, and it has aesthetical appearance, low fault, and long life.

3, it is easy for dismantling and installing, and can work on the move, so it cost lower in installation cost. Because it can be combined with building, we don’t have to bury electric wire.

4, it is widely used in all kinds of electric components, and is suitable for those families which are short of electricity, it can be used on electric component and lighting which is at countryside, hill, island, express way and other remote area.

5, it is eternal, as long as the sun exists, so we can invest money in studying it, but use the achievement forever.

6, the solar generating system can be listed form big ones to small ones. We can have middle power station which can produce 1000000KW, also generator group which can supply electricity for one family. It is incomparable.

The solar resource of China is abundant, so the potential development of solar resource is very broad.

Gasoline generator is a kind of generating device, it consumes gasoline as the main fuel, and a kind of device which turns other kind of energy into electricity energy. According to the survey of gasoline generator market, it is drove by turbine, diesel motor and other kind of motor, these motors can turn water flow, gas flow and energy which the burning of fuel and atomic fission produce into mechanical energy and transmit it to generator, then the generator turns the energy into electricity. Generator is widely used in agricultural and industrial production, military, technology and daily life. The price of gasoline generator depends on the model, different model has different price.

Here are the newest price table of gasoline generator in 2010s, the detailed information is as followed.

1, according to the survey of gasoline generator market, the price of 1000i frequency conversion gasoline generator is about 1900 yuan, it has four strokes and the power of it is 800W. although it is a bit of expensive, it has aesthetic appearance and makes low noise, which is suitable for place which need high request.

2, the 950 gasoline generator has two strokes and the power is 650W, which only costs about 600 yuan. But it makes higher noise, so it is not suitable for place which need high request towards noise and appearance. 3, the price of gasoline whose power is 650W is about 550 yuan, it will produce 0.6 degree of electricity per hour, and the fuel consumption is between 0.6 and 1 liter.

Now we’d like to introduce how to choose gasoline generator, 1, the generator whose power is 5000W is used to drive your computer, so in that way, it is comparatively inexpensive to use gasoline as the fuel.

2, we can compare apples with oranges, they are all useful for our daily life, in the same way, we can’t compare gasoline motor with diesel motor, they all have their advantages, but as is known to all, the price of common diesel price is higher than gasoline’s, on the contrary, the power which diesel generator can produce is more than gasoline’s.

According to the above situation, a kind of silent diesel generator’s price is about 6000 yuan, but if it is produced from foreign countries, it will cost more than 10000 yuan.
