Canada to develop new hydrogen fuel cell hp nc6200 battery, hp nc6220 battery vehicle

With oil prices rising, more and more people began to research alternative energy. Canadian scientists have made in this regard to explore useful.

Rui Canadian scientists led by a scientific team believes that a very human hope that the fuel will be hydrogen, because the existence of hydrogen in the face of the earth relatively wide, every drop of water contain hydrogen, and the use of hydrogen will not pollute the environment.

The research group has taken innovative action is to use hydrogen to generate electricity, so as to create a driving force for the vehicle.

This idea has given rise to the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration's attention, and was used in spacecraft.

This success has increased the confidence of the group, they decided to study the issue of motor vehicle fuel.

This 30 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is their latest research results. These vehicles will be sent to 10 countries in Europe for testing.

Rui group of scientific and technical personnel such as paper, as one end of the fuel cell Add hydrogen, oxygen Add the other end, after a chemical reaction can produce electricity and water. In this way, there will be a driving force for car.

In this study, the timely and effective input to hydrogen cars is the key, but hydrogen is a more dangerous gases, to take care of their needs, can not be added at gas stations and other places. At the same time, a fuel cell capable of producing less than 1 watts of electricity, a car needs more than a hundred of these fuel cells.

Experts predict that if this hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can be widely promoted, then a variety of cost reduction will be effective.

Lead-acid batteries on the environment pollution

Lead-acid batteries on the environment pollution

Electric bicycle to the green environmental protection, light weight, in line with the purchasing power of China's working-class urban residents have been popular laptop battery, but such a convenient means of transport in many cities has been blocked. The reason is actually used hp batteries for electric bikes blame.

According to environmental experts, not emissions from electric bicycle, but it is lead-acid batteries used in the pollution of the environment is much more serious than automobile exhaust. Lead-acid batteries by the lead, sulfuric acid and some other metal and plastic components, waste battery acid contains high levels of lead, not only a serious indiscriminate discharge of contaminated soil and water, on the air, damaging the ecological balance, but also lead to human metabolism, areas such as reproductive and neurological diseases, the body once the excessive lead content, will lead to mental decline, induced by malignant tumors of children, and even death.

Data show that the electric bicycle, the lead-acid batteries are consumables, brand batteries use 1 ~ 2 years to be replaced, and some non-brand-name batteries to be replaced for six months. Conservative calculation, the general use of lead-acid batteries in large cities over 200,000, and the rapid growth momentum. To this end, a number of provinces and cities clear that environmental protection departments, the market for electric bikes, where the use of lead-acid maintenance-free batteries, all from production through distribution unit, a unified cross-production deal with; Where to buy a new battery must pay Back to waste the battery, or not to sell a new battery.

It is learned that the majority of electric bike stores sell pipe regardless of recovery, the recovery of batteries that store, and some are not shipped back to manufacturers, but sold the collection of waste. Lead-acid batteries have been taken when the waste scavengers sell a lot of toxic dumping of acid being seriously polluted the environment. Electric Bicycle manufacturers and dealers are not interested in on the battery recycling them? Electric bicycle manufacturers, a person in charge frankly, discarded lead-acid battery manufacturers for the production or valuable, but the heavier the battery, back to business of dangerous goods in accordance with the charges, each of the price of electric vehicles do not recycling enterprises to increase the cost of the last hundred dollars. Who is law-abiding operators who suffer, it is the manufacturers and dealers are not interested in root causes.

The face of a worsening pollution problem in lead-acid batteries, they have suggested that radical measures must be taken. Norms on the one hand, manufacturers, distributors of battery recycling, processing acts, on the other hand, the establishment of pollution in large cities Treatment Center. The only way to tackle pollution caused by lead-acid batteries, electric bicycles can be blocked from the fate.
