1. In this web article, the author is comparing an Electric and a traditional Fuel Cell vehicle. Throughout the article, they give pros and cons of both types of cars.
ReplyDelete2. As electric engine technology advances, we will be able replace cars like Teslas with traditional vehicles. In recent years the battery technology has allowed people to manage to reach their destinations, unlike older electric cars.
3. With an electric car you wont have to go to the gas station and pay outrageous prices, and can just charge your car at home or at charging stations around town. There's also the benefit of how quiet a Tesla is compared to a normal car, without lack of speed. It is also much better for the environment, as there are no fumes exiting the vehicle's exhaust.
4. At this point in time an electric car can't travel as far as fuel cell car, but as time progresses the technology will advance.
1. The article is about the difference between the new kind of “green” cars. In the article, it states the differences between electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. The article states that electric cars store already produced energy into a battery, while fuel cell vehicles store a type of fuel that is then produced into energy.
ReplyDelete2. Some of the complications with an electric vehicle are the limitation of its batteries compared to a combustion engine in normal cars. In a way, the electric cars aren’t much healthier than combustion engines. Because of the energy required for the cars must be created, that means that more coal plants will have to make energy to support these kinds of cars. Another issue is that the electric car’s battery must be switched out for long driving trips, since they can only be so big and lose a charge quickly.
3. The few advantages are that they would be much cheaper to manage than a gas powered car, because of the fuel cost.
4. Like stated above in question 2, electric cars aren’t that safe for the environment. They would need more plants to produce the electricity to support the cars and most places don’t support charging the cars. The cars are very expensive to make because of the lithium-ion batteries that must be produced.
1. This article covers the specifics of battery powered cars and fuel cell cars and the progress that has been made in the creation of each. According to the article, electric cars have been around for about as long as fuel-propelled cars, but fuel cell vehicles are a relatively recent advancement. Both technically power electric motors, so they could both be considered "electric cars", but the battery-powered cars only consume energy; fuel cell cars produce their own energy through a process called ionization, where water is created by bonding oxygen running through the car and hydrogen stored in the tank.
ReplyDelete2. Compared to most modern engines, the electric car has pitifully low mileage. Send a Tesla Model S back to the turn of the century, and they would be unfortunately comparable to the vehicles available at the time. One of the other main warnings stems from the source of the electricity/hydrogen that the car uses; according to some, if the car uses electricity or hydrogen gotten from sources like coal factories, the problem of fossil fuels is perpetuated rather than stemmed.
3. One of the advantages is mostly quality of life; since the consumer doesn't have to worry about buying extra fuel for the vehicle, they have more money to spend elsewhere. In addition, they stay ahead of the technological curve by promoting the development of this new form of transportation.
4. In its current form, one of the biggest disadvantages to owning an electric vehicle is its comparatively low range and long refill times compared to its gasoline-fuel contemporaries. Another big issue is efficiency; how can batteries be made more efficient to go longer distances without having to recharge, and how can the catalyst for the ionization reaction (usually Platinum, a very rare metal) be made more efficient?
1.) Since the 1800's, battery powered electric cars have been made and created to be used electrically instead of engine based fueled by gasoline. While using this brilliant creation, you're using electricity that's been generated by solar power and put into the car itself.
ReplyDelete2.) Modern engines burn fuel cells and give off excess gas and gives off pollution to the world. With millions of cars swarming the Earth, it can really pollute and destroy the world and cause global warming. With electric powered cars, there is no pollution exerted from the car and pollution is impossible.
3.) Like I said before, gas can pollute. One of the advantages of electric powered cars is that the power does not pollute and the power is generated solar-wise so absolutely NO pollution is created and the cars are greener than the Jolly Green Giant.
4.) The disadvantages of having an electric powered car is that it runs out very quickly and that it can take a very long time to charge back up again, and with all of this, to conserve power the driver either needs to drive really slow manually or the car can't go faster than a certain distance.
1) This article describes the new environmentally friendly car, and also compares and contrasts the things about fuel cell vehicles and electric vehicles. The fuel cell type stores fuel that is then put into energy; the electric vehicles have a battery that creates the energy needed to work the vehicle.
ReplyDelete2)One of the issues of electric type cars is that the batteries don't compete with the output of gasoline type vehicles. Another short coming is that if another type of energy is used, then it's not exactly considered energy efficient.
3)The main advantage is that fuel isn't as much of an issue to the average consumer than someone with a gasoline vehicle.
4)Currently, as it stands the battery isn't incredibly long lasting, and also most places don't exactly have a place to charge up the battery either.
1. This article is about electric cars vs. fuel cell cars. The article talks about how both offer cleaner alternative to internal combustion engines, and both use electric motors powered by electro-chemical devices.
ReplyDelete2. Electric engines don't require gas to run, like a combustion engine does. Instead, the electric engine runs off of one battery and is healthier for the environment.
3. Some of the advantages include, no gas, money saver, more miles per charge, and less fossil fuels being burned.
4. If the electricity used to charge the electric vehicle comes from a coal power plant, for example, it can be dirtier than even the worst internal-combustion vehicle.
1) This article talks about the difference between Electric cars vs. cars powered by Hydrogen fuel Cells. Both methods offer a cleaner alternative to gas, but they have a long way to go before they are a viable option for completely replacing the internal combustion engine. The electric engines run off of the power stored in rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries while the fuel cell vehicles create their own electricity while running.
ReplyDelete2) At the moment, the electric vehicles have a few advantages over the internal combustion engine. As mentioned before, they are cleaner (that is, as long as the power used to charge it isn't produce from oil and coal power plants), but they also have widespread support from those who would wish to switch entirely over to electric cars and other clean alternatives to today's industry.
3) At the moment, one of the major selling point of electric cars (that is, the fuel being cheaper) is relatively invalid as a barrel of oil is actually cheaper than the barrel used to store it. However, with this decrease in price, it is expected that 1/3rd of American oil companies will go out of business relatively soon, which means that the price of oil will rise. There are reasons as to why oil is so cheap that I will refrain from going into, but it is important to note that the value of electric cars will constantly be fluctuating.
4) There are many disadvantages to the current models of electric cars. One of them is the extremely long charge time, which means that they are not viable for any sort of long distance transportation. Another disadvantage would be that if the car runs off of electricity produce by a coal, oil, or even natural gas plant (the cleanest current fossil fuel), it would be producing more pollution than the average internal combustion car.
1. Electric vs. Fuel Cell Vehicles: 'Green' Auto Tech Explained, talks about the differences between Fuel Cell vehicles and Electric vehicles.
ReplyDelete2. "...they're only as clean as the source of the hydrogen they use." Electric cars are not the 100% most effective solution for going green, as many people think. Electric cars are only as clean as the power they use to recharge. In some cases these cars can be dirtier than internal-combustion. However, battery technology is growing exponentially. We can soon expect healthier electric cars that have the range of traditional internal-combustion.
3. Electric cars use electric motors, that offer instant torque and smoother acceleration than traditional cars.
4. As of today, electric cars take much longer to recharge than inter-combustion cars take to refuel. Internal-combustion also can travel much further than electric cars, in one refuel/recharge.
1. This article is talking about electric cars, fuel cell cars, and the differences between them.
ReplyDelete2. Electric cars use batteries to power motors in the car, rather than using an engine. The most used battery for these cars are the same type of battery found in laptops (however much bigger of course)
3. It is cheaper, you don't have that smell of gas when you recharge your car, recharging is easy, cleaner air (if energy companies stop using gas and fossil fuels as well to create energy), and you could possibly recharge at your own home.
4. Long road trips are horrible with electric cars.

1.This article is about how Electric and Fuel cars work and see which one is better and what is better for the environment. It also says a couple cars that are in those classification.
ReplyDelete2. They have more immediate torque compared to combustion engines also they have smoother acceleration and also quieter..
3.They also don’t burn fuel and have good torque. The quietness is a great advantage too.
4.The disadvantage is that the car has a limited range due to battery weight and the coal or oil plants would make more carbon dioxide than the combustion engines.
1. This is about the electric and traditional fuel cars on how different they are. It mainly talks about the Tesla and on how its full is mainly coming from the 2 electric motors it has in this bad boy.
ReplyDelete2. Since these motors are full electronic it can run pretty fairly easily. The casual motors use gas and oil to heat and up and go. But with the electric stuff in this you can go as soon as you're ready for action. So that's the main source of power in the wheels and how it rolls.
3. A couple of good things about this is pretty much no need to pay for gas and its chargeable. Another good one is you can go without the car making so much noise. It's a really silent car to use. It's also pretty family friendly and mainly runs on a lot of computer power!
4. Bad things about this is if you break a part it will cost a ton. Also since it's all mainly computerized and if one things gets fried your entire system will go out. The last thing that's bad is that it will make you look not like a man cause MEN use GAS AND OIL TO LOOK MANLY!
1. This article is about cars that are powered by a battery that powers an atomic motor. The article goes in depth on the history of atomic motors and how it was initially incompetent compared to the internal combustion engine.
ReplyDelete2. Atomic motors can compete today with the internal combustion engine because they can provide instant torque and smoother acceleration than the conventional fuel-cell engine.
3. The atomic engine’s advantages are the very same reasons that it is able to compete with the internal combustion engine. Also the atomic engine doesn't burn fossil fuels which is a limited resource.
4. The disadvantages are that there isn’t technically any environmental advantage because the atomic motor is only as clean as the fuel that generated the electricity in the first place. Also atomic motors have very lengthy recharging periods.
1. This article is about Electric cars vs. cars powered by Hydrogen fuel Cells. these car could completely replace the internal combustion engine but the have a long way to go. Both methods offer a cleaner alternative to gas, but The electric engines run off rechargeable batteries while the fuel cell vehicles create their own charge while driving.
ReplyDelete2. Well electric cars are cheaper overall, don't cause greenhouse gasses, and can run for hundreds of miles or a single charge and almost every gas station now has electric car outlets.
3. It will cost you less in the long run since you don't have to pay for gas and there a cars that have a solar panel roof so you car will charge while you have it parked at work or it will increase your drive time since its providing power for the car.
4. if your battery dies and you don't have a solar panel your stuck like any other car except with normal engines you can bring gas to the car you cant bring a charge to a electric one.
1. This article is about the new Telsa model car, fueled cars and battery powered cars in one big package. For the most part, they are saying that the combustion engine sucks which is whatever.
ReplyDelete2. For the most part the article talk about hoe electric cars are just as bad as combustion cars mostly because of the energy that required to drive them. Even though combustion engines use oil and gas which affect our atmosphere, electric cars still are just as bad, but in a different way.
3. Even though electric powered cars affect the environment just as bad, their is one good thing about electric cars and that is they don't pollute the air like gas powered cars do.
4. I pretty much stated the disadvantages already, but the electric cars use power that can still affect the economy considering that they cost a lot of money.
1. The article given is about "green" cars and the new Tesla car. It powers by the battery inside and is charged by plugging the car into the wall.
ReplyDelete2. Instead of having to combine two elements to create the electric pulse to start the motor, with a electric charge coming from the battery's output. This is a direct line to it and doesn't have to use cataclysms.
3. It has a smoother accelertion and you dont have to pay for gas. For your fuel you use electricity so all you would have to do is plug in your car overnight or when you have free time.
4. Disadvantages are the dont use gas so unless you find somewhere that has the electric pumps you cant travel to far away. It is harsher on the environment than the conventional cars.

1. This article explains the in-and-outs of the different types of fueling available for cars. The article specifically covers both electric and fuel-cell powered cars, and their advantages, along with disadvantages, over regular gasoline cars.
ReplyDelete2. Electric motors are definitely able to compete with gasoline cars. They acceleration much faster, exemplified by the Tesla's insane mode, and also much smoother. Electric motors are able to provide instant torque, unlike combustion engines.
3. Electric cars definitely have advantages. Instant torque and smooth acceleration are just two advantages that electric cars have over conventional gasoline cars. Additionally, if the electricity used is generated using clean methods, electric cars are much better than conventional gasoline ones.
4. Of course, there are some problems with electric cars, the biggest being range. Batteries can only last for a couple hundred miles, and recharging is not exactly an easy process on the road.
1. This article compares new electric and hydrogen cell powered vehicles, including the pros and cons of each power source.
ReplyDelete2. Electric cars using rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are competitive to traditional gas guzzling vehicles. The electricity to power the cars is much cheaper than gas and sometimes even free. Recent advancements in battery technology allows drivers to reach much farther distances on single charges, where as cars using older batteries went very slow.
3. Electric as a power source has very little to zero carbon footprint, much less than gas does. While gas runs emissions are harmful to the environment and contribute to global warming. Electric is cheaper than gas, and electric engines have other advantages over gas engines. Electric engines spin up much more quickly meaning they are much more responsive than traditional gas.
4. The current list of disadvantages of Electric is limited but relevant. Recharging stations for electric cars are hard to come by meaning most long distant destinations will be inaccessible with an electric car. For now, electric cars are also much more expensive than traditional gas.
1. The article compares fuel powered cars vs the newer electric-motor cars.
ReplyDelete2. Electric motors are standing pretty strong against the fuel motor. Overall though the eletric is pretty bad for long distance, since you have to keep swapping out batteries (assuming you even have extras).
3. It is much more convenient to charge a car in your garage rather than go hunting for a gas station. There is a whole argument on it being safer for the environment, but its all a matter of where the energy (gas or electricity) is coming from.
4. Major disadvantage currently would be the lack of power sources. Unlike gasoline, there aren't places to stop every few hours to charge your battery. Buying backups that big would be hard on your wallet too.
1. This article is about the car Tesla model S and how it runs.
ReplyDelete2. It’s able to because it’s more sufficient and it’s healthier to the environment. It doesn’t use much gas and it run on electricity. Electric cars have undergone a surge in popularity in recent years
3. Some of the disadvantages are:
1. The price for the Roadster with options are likely to set you back $130K-$170K+.
2. Upkeep costs are relatively low at about $600 for your annual service, but if you have the sport version, you will wear out your rear tires after 2500-3000 miles at a cost of $700-$800.
3. If you damage the battery pack, and it has to be replaced after the warranty period has expired, that will cost you about $25,000.

1. The article talks about an Electric cars opposed to standard fuel powered cars. There are pros and cons for both, which are discussed in the article.
ReplyDelete2. Electric cars are progressing and might actually take over the industry due to the power it can create. This issue with this though is it's still using fossil fuels, and now is creating more landfills.
3. This will save people money! People won't have to go to the gas station so often. Indeed, their electricity bills will go up, but it won't cost as much. Electric cars are also far more quite.
4. It still is using just as much, if not more fossil fuels than standard cars. How do we get electricity at our house? More often than not from a factory burning coal. Also, with more people just using batteries, there are going to be more empty batteries that have to be dealt with, which will lead to more land fills.
