Water driven CARS funded by TATA
Earlier today, I came across a wonderful post posted earlier today, by vidya, and entitled Water driven CARS funded by TATA that I strongly encourage everyone to read. Below are a couple of little extracts to pique your interest!
This will reverse the green house effect and bring an end to global warming because there is no carbondioxide produced during this combustion process. Tata has funded Prof Daniel Nocera a researcher from MIT with $15 million to come up with water powered cars. Ratan Tata the man who brought out the Rs 1 lakh car now to think of the cheapest alternative -water as fuel. A new project he has invested in of making a car being fueled with water. You would have heard about solar cars driven with solar energy. Storing the energy for use when the sun is not shinning and using it to drive cars as well for lighting at home. A huge hurdle to this solar cars came when Nocera and his project partner Mathew Kanan, a post doctorial made a path breaking discovery. Inspired by the process of photosynthesis, they both developed a process that used solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases which when recombined into a cell would create carbon free electricity which can light your house and fuel your car for the whole day.
Now, reading vidya’s post got me thinking so I did a google search for some other articles on the subject and uncovered some more niceposts. For example, this post posted last week, by saianna, on a blog called Samachar Today:
ISRO signs agreement with European Space Agency worth Rs. 500 croreIndian Space Research Organisation – ISRO – has placed an order worth 500 crore rupee with European Space Agency-Arianespace for the launch of commercial satellites. This was disclosed by ISRO Chairman K Radhakrishnan in Bangalore yesterday. He said, commercial agreements have been signed with Arianespace the launch of GSAT-8 in 2011 and GSAT-10 in 2012. Arianespace has so far launched 12 Indian satellites. Radhakrishnan said, ISRO has also renewed the five-year contract with Europe’s leading satellite system specialist – EADS Astrium – for joint marketing of satellites. He said, Megha-Tropiques and SARAL satellites, being jointly developed by ISRO and its French counterpart CNES, will be launched in May and December 2011. Radhakrishnan said, ISRO and CNES will continue to work together and explore new domains, including climate change and other frontier areas.
Finally, another fantastic post came from Prakash over on Stock Market Today posted last week, entitled ISRO signs agreement worth 500 crore rupee with Arianespace … which is also definitely worth a read!
