Alternative fuels?

Question

can anyone give me a list of alternative fuels, its for science assignment.

Answer 1

Some sources of alternative fuels are fuels such as; hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel,electricity, natural gas, propane, and believe it or not SALT WATER!!

Answer 2

Alternative is arbitrary. In regards to cars it is some thing other than gasoline. Not every gallon of gasoline is pure. There are alcohols and other additives in that same given volume. The list may include heavy metals such as Lead, mercury, sulfurs, organic solvents, chemicals, etc. What you are looking for is Cooking oil, hydraulic fluids, Hydrogen, Alcohols, etc. Coal was used to fire a steam driven car and wood also but we do not do that any more.

What is soon to be recognized is Antimatter which is Energy without mass. It works the same way as an electric motor in that is all electric. It turns a wheel and the wheel turns a generator and the car runs forever on electricity.

The original Hybrid Automobile concept car was total electric, but would not be allowed since oil was feared to loose its' Global Trade. So they made it use oil.
