Futuristic Cars

 Climate Change 

Greetings to one and all present here, Our group, Harshita, Darshit, Krish and Dev, are presenting our idea about Futuristic cars. 

 

There are a lot of problems faced by the world because of Global Warming, one of them is Climate change. We as student leaders of NESISM have decided to work on this global issue for the field of cars. Cars pollute the environment by releasing harmful gases like Carbon dioxide. This gas affects the entire atmosphere and biosphere. It even consumes a lot of fuel for the working of the Air Conditioner in the car. And now fossil fuels are getting scarce. So, we have two goals. The first is to reduce the CO2 which the vehicle releases and store it in a way it doesn’t harm the environment. And second is to produce some renewable energy, which will power the AC function of the car, instead of the fuels doing the work.

 

Our group has worked on both these ideas and found a reasonably good solution toward them. Our first idea is to produce energy from a solar panel, which will generate power from the light rays and that power will be used to produce sufficient energy which will power up the AC function in the car.

 

According to some different website, in 8 hours of sunlight, 2 kilo watts of energy can be produced per panel. And on an average roof of a car, 2 solar panels can be attached. This therefore will produce 4 kilo watts of energy.

 

On an average day, the AC system of a car is only used for 3.5 hours. And an AC takes about 1 kilo watt of energy per hour. Therefore 3.5 hours will take 3500 watts to function. Which can easily function with the 4000 watts given by the solar panel. The electricity produced by the solar panel will be stored in a certain battery. And when the ac is switched on it will take the energy from the battery. So, this battery will even have back-up energy when the sun is not present. In this way our 1^st goal is achieved

 

 

 

The second idea is as follows:

This is a car. On this car’s exhaust pipe, we have added a Carbon dioxide absorbing mechanism. This CO2 absorbing mechanism will absorb the CO2, which is released by the car as a bi-product. So, this brown colour tube you can see here is the exhaust pipe’s attachment and the CO2 absorber.

 

Now this CO2 will produce a reaction between one more thing, which is lithium hydroxide. We have maximised the tube here to show are diagrammatic representation. The, orange balls here are the Carbon dioxide balls which are coming out of the exhaust pipe, the blue balls over here is Lithium hydroxide, which will react with CO2 to form Lithium carbonate and water. Therefore, the yellow balls indicate lithium carbonate. And, when the CO2 will come out of the exhaust pipe of the car, all of it will react with the present Lithium hydroxide to produce Lithium Carbonate and in this way, CO2 which would have gone in the atmosphere, will be converted and stored in a carbonate form. 1 litre of Lithium Hydroxide can store CO2 till the car travels 13 km. 

 

Therefore, the pollution created by the harmful gas Carbon dioxide will stop instead. In this way, global warming will reduce from the sector of pollution released by vehicles. And in this way goal 2 will also be achieved!
