Alternative car fuels

In this article we’ll think if it’s is possible and reasonable to use hydrogen as car fuel. I posted some time ago an article about hydrogen fuel car, this will be the second article on hydrogen.

Hydrogen was used as energy carrier for long time. It can be produced from plain water, and can be burnt in engines, burners or other devices to produce energy. But can hydrogen be energy source for automobile transport? (more…)

This is an article about hydrogen fuel car - a car fueled with hydrogen. (more…)

This is an article about petroleum, also known as crue oil. If we discuss alternative fuels, we also need to know something about the origin of all typical engine fuels, gasoline (petrol) and diesel fuel. (more…)

I guess after an article I wrote about biodiesel gelling, you’d be interested in more specific data about when your biodiesel will start to freeze. It depends on what is this biodiesel made from. Here’s a nice table with those temperatures. (more…)

If you use wood gas in your internal combustion engine, designed for gasoline or diesel fuel, you’ll notice some power loss. In this article I’ll describe why such power loss does occur and how to overcome this effect. (more…)

Wood gas is an interesting fuel for internal combustion engines. It can be used in almost all four-stroke engines, both compression ignition (diesels) and spark ignition engines. In this article you’ll read how to use wood gas in engines. (more…)

In this article we’ll answer the question: which gaseous biofuel is better: biogas or wood gas? Both of those fuels may be used as energy source for your engine or boiler. They differ in composition and heating value, but they’re both combustible and that’s important. (more…)

I put this article here as a reference to all other articles on LPG - Liquefied Petroleum Gas. In most cases autogas is the same fuel as LPG, but LPG is also used in many other ways, for example for cooking. Since this article is a little different than the previous article about autogas, I believe that it’ll be an interesting addition to the Encyclopedia.

I put this article here as a reference to all other articles on autogas. I’ll write a article or two about this fuel here, because in many countries autogas is considered a very cheap and convenient gasoline (petrol) alternative. Though it is not a biofuel, it surely is alternative car fuel, so it has to be written about here.
