A fan is situated under the bonnet of the car which generates power. This is then stored in a battery. The car has to be moving to work. So what will happen if the car runs out of power? The wind will go through the grill and then start the fan which creates power that will be stored in the battery for later use. Also the power, that the brakes create when used, will power to the battery. The car has dynamos in the wheels to work the lights like the old bicycles used to have.

Thank you

With the use of biodiesel, the smoke generated becomes very clean instead of the traditional diesel. And thus, can make our car last longer. So what would you prefer?

Your statment is valid if you talk about bioethanol. Btw, using E85 in current US gasoline-based vehicles is total insanity to me anyway – look at moronic E85 H2 Hummer.

However, you’d be totally wrong if talking about biodiesel and other biofuels from algae.

The most obvious path for biggest oil-saving US still resists would be switching a big percentage of US cars to diesel (at least SUVs and other big vehicles). Just look at the European market and compare the mileage. This would help immensely even if you start with petro-based diesel and biodiesel would be just a minor next step.

Bio fuel is another path to world starvation!
We don’t have enough water to grow the added crops for all the bio fuel needed.

It is a good idea exceot oil companies would never allow it to happen because then they would be out of business.

I think this is a great idea. There should be more companies like this. I just don’t understand why there isn’t a major car company interested in funding this project.
