Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles the road in Wuhan
At 8:45 on January 8, a Dongfeng-brand silver hydrogen fuel cell vehicles' Chutian One ' laptop battery, from the Wuhan University of Technology Pegasus Plaza exit slowly. To the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Engineering, recall, and YI Bao-lian, Zhang Shourong such as academicians, led by three of the Group of Experts adopted 'Chutian One' acceptance. This indicates that China's hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle technology R & D success.
Chutian One 'by the Dongfeng Motor Corporation and the Wuhan University of Technology developed jointly completed. Dongfeng Automobile Company financed 1000$, Wuhan University of Technology research to integrate technology resources in schools. After two years of hard work toshiba battery, by the Elysee sedan modified fuel cell electric vehicles' Chutian One 'has finally come out, following the development of Shanghai's' beyond its' after the success of our research and development of a second type of fuel cell car-like vehicles .
Compared with the ordinary automobile engine, 'Chutian One' of the fuel cell engine with high power, fast response, characterized by strong output power, the maximum speed of more than one hundred kilometers, close to the traditional engine of its size, totally suitable for installation in the car the cockpit. Acceptance of the Expert Group to participate in that, 'Chutian One' has a completely independent autonomous intellectual property rights, the vehicle reached the advanced level in synchronization with the international level. The experts proposed to speed up the fuel cell electric vehicles industrialization process, as soon as possible fuel cell electric vehicle technology into practical productive forces.
It is understood that the hydrogen fuel cell technology based on hydrogen as fuel, rely on hydrogen and oxygen in the air a chemical reaction to produce electrical power. As a fuel cell powered electric vehicles, electric vehicles, the modern family in an up and comer. Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles emit only water, not carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and other harmful gases, a fundamental solution to the constraints of the automotive industry to develop energy and environmental problems, China's automotive technology will bring about the development of a deep-rooted revolution .
It is reported that hydrogen fuel cell technology has three advantages. First, will help alleviate the problem of energy scarcity, the use of fuel cell vehicle technology can achieve the diversification of energy structure and ease pressure on oil imports. Second, it helps alleviate the problem of automobile exhaust pollution. Thirdly, it is conducive to the development of China's automobile industry. Through the development of fuel cell electric vehicle technology, and developed countries to reduce the gap between the automotive industry.
Hong Kong in March from the implementation of the rechargeable battery recycling, "product responsibility schemes"
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said the pollution problems of waste batteries, the Government decided to "product responsibility schemes" to expand and will be in March in many parts of Hong Kong set up the whole recycle bin to collect all the old rechargeable batteries, a comprehensive recovery and separation for recycling. As for the "one-off" the battery, the Government said that Hong Kong landfills are lined with impermeable liners wastewater recycling system, no plan to start the recovery plan of disposable batteries.
Environmental Protection Department spokesman said authorities have set up a working group co-ordinating the work of the relevant recovery plans to recovery of the rechargeable battery of other products, including notebook computers, mobile phones and digital cameras, sent abroad in the classification after the battery recycling facility for recycling.
The spokesman stressed that no plans to start recycling of disposable toshiba satellite m100 battery, toshiba satellite m105 battery, but will start charging the battery recycling scheme, and depending on the availability of suitable facilities and recycling way to re-consider whether the scheme was further extended to disposable battery. Authorities, field battery recycling scheme, there are only a rechargeable battery recycling or recycling of all batteries. For example, recycling of all batteries in Taiwan, while the United States-based rechargeable batteries are recycled.
It is reported that the Government of the product liability voluntary plan to start in April 2002 to recover the main mobile phone batteries, mobile phone and battery manufacturers to provide the necessary organization and costs, the Government will assist in the implementation of the scheme. Battery recycling by the classification will be sent abroad for recycling battery recycling facilities, has been recovered about 8.6 tons of batteries, of which 7.5 tons have been shipped to overseas recycling facilities.
Mobile phone battery recovery and recycling schemes to prove rechargeable battery recycling operation in the technology and viable, and support of the industry. Therefore, it is considered that other products, rechargeable batteries, such as notebook computers, mobile phones, digital cameras and so on, similar arrangements can also be recovered.
Flexible plastic solar cell is expected to charge a shirt made of equipment
Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a flexible plastic solar cells, it was allegedly converted to solar power more efficient than existing methods to five times higher.
Research team leaders, electricity and computer engineering professor, said Sargent, the battery can take advantage of the sun's infra-red, and can be cloth, paper and other flexible material layer formed on the surface membrane. This layer membrane can be 30% of solar energy into electrical energy available than is currently the most efficient application of the plastic solar cells (6%) are much better.
"As a result of this battery has the flexibility to use solar energy conversion materials, plastics and fibers to weave together the synthetic fiber similar to the existing, and then processed them into clothing, can cause wear on the body of the solar cells," said Sargent It can be said that this is the portable power.
Sargent also said that such material can be used in a shirt or sweater for the cell phone charger and other equipment.
The new toshiba satellite m110 battery, toshiba satellite m115 battery on the results of the study published in the Sun "natural materials" journals. Sargent said that he is currently looking for investors to this invention into a commercial product. If they can produce cheaper, more widespread application of solar cell products, it would be a major breakthrough.
