Alternative fuels

Alternative fuel
Alternative fuel (alternate fuel), also known as non-conventional fuels, is any material or substance that can be used as a fuel, other than fossil fuels, or conventional fuels of petroleum (oil), coal, propane, hydrogen, and natural gas. The term "alternative fuels" usually refers to a source of which energy is renewable.
The main purpose of fuel is to store energy in a form that is stable and can be easily transported from the place of production to the end user. Almost all fuels are chemical fuels, that store chemical potential energy. The end user is then able to consume the fuel at will, and release energy, usually in the form of heat for a variety of applications, such as powering an engine, or heating a building.
Some well known alternative fuels include biodiesel, ethanol, butanol, chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), hydrogen, methane, natural gas, wood, vegetable oil, biomass, and peanut oil.
In the year 2000, there were about eight million vehicles around the world that ran on alternative fuels, indicating the increasing popularity of alternative fuels {citation needed}. There is growing social interest, and an economic and political need for the development of alternative fuel sources. This is due to general concerns of sustainability, both environmental, economic, and geopolitical. A primary concern is that the fact that the use of conventional fuels directly contributes to the global warming crisis. Another concern is the problem of peak oil, which predicts a rising cost of oil derived fuels caused by severe shortages of oil during an era of growing energy consumption. According to the 'peak oil' phenomenon, the demand for oil will exceed supply and this gap will continue to grow, which could cause a growing energy crisis by the year 2010 or 2020. Lastly, the majority of the known petroleum reserves are located in the middle east. There is general concern that worldwide fuel shortages could intensify the unrest that exists in the region, leading to further conflict and war.Source from globalwarming.org.in
The Earth Will Blackout in 2013
Not the Effect of Global Warming ?
It is said that the earth is going to blackout in 2013. This is not an Effect of Global Warming or an Earth Quake or any Volcano eruption. Watch the Video below.
It will be like a scene where mobile phones go on the blink, GPS is knocked out, TVs go blank and the world is plunged into chaos. It is being caused a large unprecedented solar storm, which is essentially violent eruptions in the sun, can eject destructive radiation and charged particles into space. Looks like disaster flicks aren’t too removed from reality since all this could well be the potential result of a gigantic solar storm, according to a new report by NASA. The report, a warning, says Earth and space are coming together in a way that’s new to human history .These are closely connected to magnetic fields – which are hazardous for satellites and space stations. High-tech systems are critical for life as we know it today. Everything that we depend on and take for granted – GPS navigation, air travel, internet banking services (even your credit card transaction needs a satellite) and emergency radio communications – can all be knocked out by intense solar activity
To get an idea of scale, a massive solar storm could result in 20 times more damage than the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina which hit south-eastern US in August 2005. The storm killed 1,800 people and caused damages worth $81 billion. There are reports of a geomagnetic storm sparked by a huge solar flare that swept over the Earth in 1859. Telegraph wires shorted out and set houses on fire. A brilliant aurora was seen in Hawaii—so bright that “people could read newspapers by [its] red and green glow.” Scientists predict that in May 2013, the sun’s solar cycle will peak at about the same level as in 1859.

Some good news is that some of the damage and destruction can be avoided with warning of an impending solar storm. There is technology to put satellites in ‘safe mode’ and disconnect transformers to protect them from destructive electrical surges. The key for Bogdan lies in NASA and NOAA collaborating. “NASA’s fleet of heliophysics research spacecraft provides us with up-to-the-minute information about what’s happening on the sun. They are an important complement to our own GOES and POES satellites, which focus more on the near-Earth environment.” The task of accurately forecasting a solar storm lies with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the US. “Space weather forecasting is still in its infancy, but we’re making rapid progress,” said Thomas Bogdan, director of NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center in Colorado.
Wind Power
Wind power
Wind power is so easy to produce from simple wind power stations. These wind power stations can be homely ones, which you can install on your private roof to try to catch some wind. The other side of the wind power stations kinds, are the massive ones you can see on the open fields of many countries around the world, each wind turbine like that reaches to the height of 100m!

For home use, you will need simple wind turbine, connected to wind power station, to produce home use power. The location of the wind turbine, the highest to locate it, the correct direction it to and the right size of the turbine blades are all parameters to consider in order catching the maximum wind power. Open fields, down hills and clean airflow locations are the best places to calculate the maximum wind speed cube for producing wind power. For example, out of a win which blows for 30 Km/H you will be able to produce 300W ( per one square meter cube ). Double of this wind speed will generate much more than double power, something like 2600 Km/H. This is why on windy areas and on high potential locations for windy days, wind power stations are the most green and economical solution.
Home installed wind power stations must have stable wind. If the wind flow is much disturbs, the efficiently of the wind power productions reduce dramatically. This is why you will always see the wind turbines in open area's or high on the top roofs. Comparing to solar panels, wind stations are much costly but also much more efficient. Over the years, you will be able to produce more energy and maintain the power station less than with solar panels. Same like solar systems, the wind systems usually charge large batteries for later use.
There are some advanced solutions to produce wind and solar energy together. The solar part of the system makes sure that the complete system will produce power in no wind days and the wind turbines are taking care of the no sun days. In totally, the system produced alternative power energy, green energy.resources:www.powersavingsystem.com
Greenhouse Gases
Greenhouse Gases
Greenhouse gases are naturally found in air. They include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. They trap heat in the atmosphere and keep the Earth's surface much warmer than it would be if there was no atmosphere. This warming effect is called the natural greenhouse effect. In the last 200 years, the amount of greenhouse gases in the air has been increasing, due to human activities. Mankind has been increasing the amount of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide in the air, and has even been adding completely new greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, like the CFCs, which also destroy the ozone layer.
Carbon dioxide is produced naturally through when animals breathe, when dead plants and animals decay, and during natural forest fires. Mankind produces carbon dioxide when coal, oil and gas (the fossil fuels) are burnt for energy and electricity, and when forests are cut down or burnt to make way for agriculture. Trees help to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by using it to make food (photosynthesis). Plant life in the oceans also uses carbon dioxide. Methane is another major greenhouse gas. It is formed naturally in marshes and bogs when dead plant and animal matter decays, and also by termites. Mankind releases methane by growing rice, farming cattle, burying waste and burning fossil fuels. Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas naturally produced by oceans and by lightening strikes, but humans have increased the amount in air by the production of nylon and through using agricultural fertilisers. CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are a group of man-made substances containing chlorine, fluorine and carbon. They were invented in the 1930s for use in fridges, but have other uses, including aerosols. They are very strong greenhouse gases and remain for a long time in the atmosphere. They break down at high altitudes where they contribute to the destruction of the ozone layer. Fortunately, their use has been banned since 1995.
The Effects of Global Warming - Water Asteroids
Water Asteroid Hits Earth
The earth existed for 4.5 billion years. The earth was dry without water when it was born.The hot hearth had a lot of steam inside its core that came out with volcanic eruptions. All the steam caused large masses of clouds over the earths atmosphere.The earth then rained continuously for thousands of years and the seas were born. The sea however had only 50% of the water it has now. Then where did the other 50% of the water come from?
Yes, the picture you see here is an asteroid from outer space made of only water hits the earth. Thousands and thousands of such water asteroids hit the earth in the early stages of its formation. There are documented proof for this. This is how we have so much of water, almost double of what we had when the earth was formed.
Aircraft Causes Antartic Global Warming
AirCraft Causes Antartic Global Warming
Arctic and Antarctic regions being ice covered and white, it reflects maximum amount of suns energy back to space. But the CO2 present in atmosphere is causing a layer or blanket that stops the heat from escaping the earths atmosphere and keeps it trapped. This causes a large increase of global warming or temperature rise.
They have landed aircraft in Antarctic ice runway as you see the scientists in the photo above. The air craft that fly over Antarctica emit so much carbon dioxide directly at a height where it actually affects the earths atmosphere in global warming. Most people are not aware that studies have found that the jet planes flying in the Antartic region are actually emitting so much of carbon di oxide that the heat reflected by the earths ice cover is not able to escape the atmosphere. Antartica Ice is melting.
If we do not take action now to stop all these aircraft from causing this dangerous situation of carbondioxide emissions in the antartic regions then the global warming will be directly effecting the earth by melting the artic and antartic ice cap and increasing the height of the seas world over to over 2 meters by the year 2100.
With every inch of sea level rise the land lost along the shores of the countries world over would be around phenomenal as the sea would come inland by over 600 feet per centimeter sea level rise. Do what ever you can to stop the global warming. Build Your Own Simple Solar or Wind Power Generation System at least at your home so that you save the earth from heating up from generating power for your home burning coal or oil by the power company. If you generate some extra power do give it back to the power grid and your power company may pay you for the electricity you give to the grid.
Save the earth. Stop global warming. Contribute to save earth your way by at least planting a tree today. A tree would convert one ton of carbondioxide to oxygen in one year.
