A Starter's Guide to Alternative Fuel Sources

Alternative sources of fuel for cars may be too little too late, but they are certainly better than nothing. In many cities all across the nation, alternative fuel sources are becoming increasingly popular, as people begin to plan for what looks to be a bleak energy future. The importance of alternative fuel sources can not be overrated. We have reached the half way point for oil consumption, and from here on in, it will get more and more expensive to extract smaller and smaller amounts of oil, resulting in the end of fossil fuel use. The sooner we switch to alternative fuel sources, the better, but it seems that our economy is so completely dependent on gasoline that switching might not be enough to save us now.
Solar is a really useful alternative fuel source which will always be available. Although solar power is not one of the alternative fuel sources for cars, it is a great source of power for houses. A few solar panels can provide all of the heating needed for the water tanks, and for the house as well. It is even possible for a house to become completely powered by alternative fuel sources, although this is still often an expensive option.

Alternate fuel sources for cares are varied. Hybrid cars, although technically not using alternative fuel sources, have found ways to make gas consumption much more efficient. These vehicles can get 50 miles per gallon or more out of conventional fuel! This is, in my opinion, better than alternative fuel sources which involve the inefficient burning of vegetable oil. Biodeisel, and ethanol powered cars, while eliminating our dependence on oil through using alternative fuel sources, still pollute the environment with their smoke. Does it make sense to switch to an alternative fuel source which does every bit as much to pollute as the one which we were using before it? It sure does not make sense to me!

Two of the most promising alternative fuel sources are electricity and hydrogen. These alternative fuel sources are actually closely related; hydrogen is a highly efficient way to store power which can be then converted into electricity in the car. This alleviates the need for huge, bulky, heavy batteries. The car can be lighter, which means that it can be more efficient and easier to maintain. If these alternative fuel sources are perfected, they might form the best solution to all of our fuel problems.

Comparison between Active and Passive Solar Energy

Solar energy is electricity that is produced from the sun’s radiation. It can be divided into direct and indirect categories, and is harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells, which generate electricity with no moving parts, no noise, and with no production of pollution or waste.

There are a few different types of solar energy, two being passive and active solar energy. There are both similarities and differences between passive and active solar energy and the biggest difference between the two lies in the applications that they are used for.

Applications of Solar Energy

Active solar energy technologies convert sunlight into other forms of energy by using a particular energy transfer fluid. This is most often water or air but can also be a variety of other substances as well.

These technologies are used to convert solar energy into useable heat and cause air movement for ventilation or cooling. Solar hot water systems, except for those which are based on the thermosiphon, typically use pumps or fans to circulate the water. Furthermore, these technologies use electrical or mechanical equipment to increase the usable heat in a system.

Comparison of Passive and Active Solar Energy 

When compared to passive solar energy, active solar energy is obviously very different. Passive solar systems require no additional energy to operate, whereas active solar systems do. Because of this, passive systems have zero operating costs and emit no greenhouse gasses in operation.

Benefits of Solar Energy

Active solar energy offers a number of wonderful benefits. For one, this energy is low maintenance, as once you have a solar energy system installed there are no recurring costs and you really never have to worry about maintenance because they operate silently, there are no moving parts and they do not release offensive smells.

They are also environmentally friendly and do not contribute to such environmental concerns as global warming. Solar energy does not pollute the air and is clean and renewable. Then there are also the financial aspects, as solar energy saves you a lot of money. Once your initial investment has been paid off, the energy you will be harnessing from the sun is practically free so you will be saving in spades.

Financial incentives are also available from the government which will help you to reduce your cost even further, and on top of all this, solar energy is not affected by the supply and demand of fuel and so therefore it is not ever subjected to the increasing price of gasoline.
