As we ring in the new year let us remember another year has been completed during which the world has burned up about 33 Billion Barrels of oil the last year and that many barrels of oil has been depleted from the earth's reserves.

This is the story of 3 students - Nitish Singh Sengar, Shital Yeole and Tarun Tiwari from S.V.I.T, Nashik who developed an  Electric-Petrol Hybrid Prototype during their Engineering college days for their project.
Their project was good enough to get them jobs in good companies.

I've been writing about electrification in China’s automotive industry for a few years now.  One feature of China’s automotive industry is the government’s penchant for issuing plans of an enormous scale to serve as a guideline for targets, such as the development of a New Energy Vehicle industry in China.  New Energy Vehicles generally refer to battery-electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.I just started looking into India’s plans to grow its EV sector, and I see that India too has issued a plan – the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020.  The NEMMP seems to take a somewhat broader approach than China’s.

Brr! Its freezing!   
Many people in our country hardly use this phrase, as it never cold in lots of places in India even in peak winter. India is a tropical country and with the Himalayas protecting us from the cold arctic winds, our winters are short and manageable. Although places above the tropic of Capricorn do experience night time temperatures between 0 to 10°C and temperatures plummet even lower in high altitudes.
Batteries used in Electric Vehicles function best at room temperature, and any deviation towards hot and cold changes the performance and/or longevity. Cold weather presents two main challenges for electric vehicles: cold air limits battery performance, and running the heater drains the battery. 
Batteries that would provide 100 percent capacity at 27°C will typically deliver only 50 percent at –18°C (0°F). The capacity decrease is linear with temperature.

What if someone told you that you could get free fuel to cook food, free fuel to run your car, free fuel to heat your home in winter, free electricity to cool your house with AC in the summer and run all kinds of equipments and of course free fertilizer for your garden or farm?

Yes all this can be had for free if one can harness or cultivate biogas! You can create it all in your house!

Electric cars start to pay for themselves right away by saving about Rs 60,000 a year, just on petrol.
They also save around Rs 8000 per year on maintenance. Electric cars’ brakes last 5 times that of others due to regenerative braking, so there are savings there too.  There is no need for pollution and emission checks, so you save money again.  So in effect you save around Rs 70,000 a year as compared to using a petrol car.  
You spend around Rs 1,00,000 on the replacement battery for your electric car. 
This translates to around Rs 2,50,000 worth of savings over a 5 year period!!

The biggest untold story in the world is now out in the open. Despite warnings from the World Bank about the dangers of unchecked climate change the coal industry has a global pipeline of nearly 1,200 plants planned, 2/3 of which are in India and China. India alone has plans to build a coal fleet nearly twice the size of the entire U.S. coal fleet. But if this pipeline has you thinking that a coal fired future is inevitable think again. These grandiose plans are an illusion the coal industry seeks to maintain because the truth is the majority of this global pipeline is nothing but vapor.
