You are stronger than you think,
remember to stand tall.

Every challenge in your life
helps you to grow.

Every problem you encounter
strengthens your mind and your soul.

Every trouble you overcome
increases your understanding of life.

When all your troubles weigh
heavily on your shoulders,
remember that beneath the burden
you can stand tall,
because you are never given
more than you can handle...
and you are stronger than you think.

AirPod - Car Runs On Air

In the past hour, worldwide consumption of petroleum exceeded 100 million gallons.  In the United States, there are 200,000 miles of pipeline, 170,000 gas stations and 243 million vehicles using petroleum fuels. Guy Nègre, a former aeronautics and formula one engineer is hoping to change all that. He has invented a compressed air technology for cars.
Nègre is the founder and CEO of Motor Development International (MDI SA) based in Luxembourg, with research and development facilities in Nice, France.

The AirPod is a small four-wheel mini-car that uses compressed air to move pistons in a 5.45 hp internal combustion engine.
It has a range of 60 miles on a single tank of air and uses a small motor to compress outside air to keep the tank full.
The compressor can operate on gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, ethanol or vegetable oil, but can also be plugged into an electrical outlet for recharging. With regular gasoline fueling the compressor, the Airpod averages an amazing 106 mpg with a range of 800 miles.

With the demand for inexpensive, user friendly, ultra high mileage vehicles that have zero emissions related to global warming - the Airpod is getting a lot of attention.
Air France and KLM airlines are using AirPods to transport passengers between arrival and departure gates at airports in Paris and Amsterdam.
Automaker, Tata Motors has purchased the manufacturing rights for India. Zero Pollution Motors has purchased the rights for the U.S. market and beginning in 2011 expect to manufacture 8,000 vehicles a year in the United States.
Licensing arrangements for other countries are currently in progress.

Minimize the use of belts in factory which lost energy.
Don't utilize damaged bearings / bushing which lost energy.
Use appropriate motor capacity for machine.
Use always ISI motors and minimize cable length.
Always use required capacity capacitors to correct power factor.

AGRICULTURE

Use good quality PVC pipes.
Use less resistance foot valves.
Keep motor / submersible in good condition and lubricate it regularly.
Use appropriate capacity motors as per length and diameter of suction and delivery pipes.
Use appropriate shunt capacitor for improve power factor which will reduce consumption.

ELECTRIC CARS:A DEFANITIVE GUIDE

An electric car is powered by an electric motor instead of a gasoline engine. The

electric motor gets energy from a controller, which regulates the amount of power—based on the driver’s use of an

accelerator pedal. The electric car (also known as electric vehicle or EV) uses energy stored in its rechargeable

batteries, which are recharged by common household electricity.

Unlike a hybrid car—which is fueled by gasoline and uses a battery and motor to

improve efficiency—an electric car is powered exclusively by electricity. Historically, EVs have not been widely

adopted because of limited driving range before needing to be recharged, long recharging times, and a lack of

commitment by automakers to produce and market electric cars that have all the creature comforts of gas-powered

cars. That’s changing. As battery technology improves—simultaneously increasing energy storage and reducing

cost—major automakers are expected to begin introducing a new generation of electric cars.

Electric cars produce no tailpipe emissions, reduce our dependency on oil, and are

cheaper to operate. Of course, the process of producing the electricity moves the emissions further upstream to the

utility company’s smokestack—but even dirty electricity used in electric cars usually reduces our collective carbon

footprint.

Another factor is convenience: In one trip to the gas station, you can pump 330

kilowatt-hours of energy into a 10-gallon tank. It would take about 9 days to get the same amount of energy from

household electric current. Fortunately, it takes hours and not days to recharge an electric car, because it's much

more efficient. Speaking of convenience, let's not forget two important points: charging up at home means never

going to a gas station—and electric cars require almost none of the maintenance, like oil changes and emissions

checks, that internal combustion cars require.Electric motors develop their highest torque from zero rpms—meaning

fast (and silent) zero-to-60 acceleration times.

“The electrification of the automobile is inevitable.”

BMW is working on a small electric car that could launch in 2012. The

Megacity is a low-slung three-door four-seat hatchback coupe. The car is smaller than the Honda Fit, and will have

a projected range of 100 miles. The BMW Megacity, which could be sold either as a BMW or Mini, is not much more

than a concept at this stage, but pressure on BMW to meet California's zero emissions vehicle requirements might

bring the car to life—albeit in small numbers.
 

BYD E6
Subaru 1RE

If China’s BYD can deliver on its big promises for the E6 all-electric

crossover, then it could take the US by storm. (Investment guru Warren Buffet is betting that BYD will come

through.) Unlike the small city-oriented electric runabouts on slate from established carmakers, the E6 is a

five-passenger wagon capable of carting a typical American family. Moreover, the E6 has a range of 200 to 250 miles

and boasts a 0 to 60 mph time of less than 10 seconds. Top speed is 100 mph. The vehicle can be fully charged in

about 10 hours by plugging into a standard household outlet. BYD says that it takes only 10 minutes to charge to 50

percent capacity and 15 minutes to the 80 percent level. BYD has been in the battery business only since 1995, and

started building cars in 2003. Considering that the company maintains an R&D department with 8,000 engineers, it’s

not surprising that the initials BYD stand for “Build Your Dreams.”

BYD showed the E6 at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show along with its F3DM and

F6DM plug-in hybrid sedans. It announced plans to sell the F6DM in the US within a few years, although it didn’t

set a firm schedule for any of its electric-drive vehicle—probably wise, since the cars have not yet been certified

Southern California automaker Coda Automotive announced plans to bring a

new electric car to the US from China in 2010. The all-electric sedan is based on an existing gas-powered four-door

car, known as the Hafei Saibao 3, built in Harbin, China. Re-engineered with a lithium ion battery, the Coda sedan

promises a driving range of 100 miles. The MSRP for the Coda sedan will be around $40,000. The scrappy California

company may be the first start-up to offer a practical and affordable electric car to mainstream buyers.
