I am sure all
of you mentioned how fuel is expensive at least once in your life. Well here is
the answer, fuel created with only air and water! To create the fuel the researchers
first take carbon dioxide out from our atmosphere and hydrogen from our water.
Then they are both put together using a “reactor”. Then using a “catalyst” the hydrocarbon is made into methanol and then changed into
fuel using a method called MOBIL, (methanol-to-gasoline reaction).
Not only that it helps
us save some money, it is also hazard less to our environment since it doesn’t make
destructive “byproducts” which are created when fossil fuels are burnt.
This method took two years and $1.6 million pounds to create and
is still developing more. In three months
the researchers have made 5 liters. Even though this fuel will only be used on race cars which need special fuel, we are still excited about this remarkable discovery.
This is awesome, being able to create your own fuel. I think the best part about this is that it doesn't pollute the environment.
