A compressed air car is an alternative fuel car that uses a motor powered by compressed air. The car can be powered solely by air, or by air combined (as in a hybrid electric vehicle) with gasoline/diesel/ethanol or electric plant and regenerative braking. Instead of mixing fuel with air and burning it to drive pistons with hot expanding gases; compressed air cars use the expansion of compressed air to drive their pistons. Several prototypes are available already and scheduled for worldwide sale by the end of 2008, though this has not happened as of January 2009. Companies releasing this type of car include Tata Motors and Motor Development International (MDI).

Steam Car
Knowledge about Steam car
Steam power, usually using an oil- or gas-heated boiler, was also in use until the 1930s but had the major disadvantage of being unable to power the car until boiler pressure was available (although the newer models could achieve this in well under a minute). It has the advantage of being able to produce very low emissions as the combustion process can be carefully controlled. Its disadvantages include poor heat efficiency and extensive requirements for electric auxiliaries.

Electric Car
The first electric car were built around 1832, well before internal combustion powered cars appeared. For a period of time electrics were considered superior due to the silent nature of electric motors compared to the very loud noise of the gasoline engine. This advantage was removed with Hiram Percy Maxim’s invention of the muffler in 1897. Thereafter internal combustion powered cars had two critical advantages: 1) long range and 2) high specific energy (far lower weight of petrol fuel versus weight of batteries). The building of battery electric vehicles that could rival internal combustion models had to wait for the introduction of modern semiconductor controls and improved batteries. Because they can deliver a high toque at low revolutions electric cars do not require such a complex drive train and transmission as internal combustion powered cars. Some post-2000 electric car designs such as the Venturi Fetish are able to accelerate from 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.0 seconds with a top speed around 130 mph (210 km/h). Others have a range of 250 miles (400 km) on the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) highway cycle requiring 3-1/2 hours to completely charge. Equivalent fuel efficiency to internal combustion is not well defined but some press reports give it at around 135miles per US gallon (1.74 L /100 km; 162 mpg).

Gasoline engine
Biofuels engine
Biofuels
Ethanol, other alcohol fuels (biobutanol) and biogasoline have widespread use an automotive fuel. Most alcohols have less energy per liter than gasoline and are usually blended with gasoline. Alcohols are used for a variety of reasons - to increase octane, to improve emissions, and as an alternative to petroleum based fuel, since they can be made from agricultural crops. Brazil's ethanol program provides about 20% of the nation's automotive fuel needs, as a result of the mandatory use of E25 blend of gasoline throughout the country, 3 million cars that operate on pure ethanol, and 6 million dual or flexible-fuel vehicles sold since 2003. that run on any mix of ethanol and gasoline. The commercial success of "flex" vehicles, as they are popularly known, have allowed sugarcane based ethanol fuel to achieve a 50% market share of the gasoline market by April 2008.

I Locked My Keys in My Car! Getting in Your Locked Car
A common accident that millions of Americans make every year. Locking our keys in the car. Usually something happens and our mind gets distracted, we completely forget to grab our keys when we lock the doors never thinking twice about it. After a long day at work or school, we are stressed out and can't want to get home, only to see our keys sitting on the drivers seat. Now feeling hopeless and frustrated we must think of a way to get our keys or open the door with paying costly prices of a professional as the last resort.
· The most common way to get into a car is the wire coat hanger technique. If your car has old fashion locks that go up and down than this method will work for you. Straighten out the coat hanger with a little hook at the end so that it can fit through the window and rubber molding. Once you get the hanger inside the car aim the hook for the lock. Steady hands and persistence will eventually get the door open.
· If you have a new car than you might be out of luck. These type of locks are built to prevent auto thieves from using the coat hanger technique. The method may work but it will be a lot harder to do. You might have to consider calling a professional.
· If you are near a gas station or are in a large parking lot find an attendant. Many of them carry a special tool that they call a "Jimmy'. It is designed specifically to open locked cars. When properly use it can fit in between the window and the door to open the locking mechanism of your car.
· Call a professional. This is your last resort. If nothing else has worked than your going to have to call in an expert. They can have the door opened in minutes but unfortunately it's going to cost you.

Finding Cheap Rims and Tires For Your Car
Many people want to improve the look and performance of their car or truck. One way to do both of these improvements with one single item is getting a package of cheap rims and tires. This will give your vehicle are cool look, and at the same time, offer better performing tires to go along with the better appearance.
Most wheel and tire sets from the factory are not meant for performance or looks. You have to go to the aftermarket to find the things you need. Many times though, this can be very expensive and people looking to upgrade just cannot find the extra cash to buy this stuff. However, if you know where to find cheap rims and tires, this could be an affordable transaction that would be of great benefit to you.
Many people start searching local newspapers or Craigslist for ads about wheels and rubber. This can sometimes be beneficial, but it is hit and miss most of the time. Another idea is to check EBay to try to find someone desperate to make a deal. Some people just ask around to all their friends and eventually someone knows somebody that needs to sell their equipment fast. Whichever way you decide to go, make sure you inspect these before the purchase. There could easily be damage that you will not see until you buy them, and then it could be too late since most sales of this type do not allow for returns.
Finally, you could really make your automobile look better without breaking your wallet in the process. Just find some cheap rims and tires and make an offer. The worst someone can do is say no, and then you can make a counteroffer, then hopefully that one would be accepted.

The Introduction of the Porsche 911
The Porsche 911 first started life way back in the mid 1950's when it first hit the drawing boards of the fast-becoming-famous sports car company.
Despite a constantly increasing demand for the Porsche 356 production cars, it was apparent that a new model would be needed for the 1960s. So, as early as 1956, the Porsche designers started work on their new car, using experience gained from the 356 series and from racing. The result was the 901, a designation quickly changed to 911 when it was realized that Peugeot had a title to model names with a zero in the middle on the French market.
Ferry Porsche laid down the law on the 911: it had to be little bigger than the 356, yet carry two adults and two children in greater comfort. His designers achieved these laudable aims, which dictated the use of a new engine because the old flat-four unit from the 356 was at the end of its development. Naturally, they turned to the eight-cylinder Formula 1 unit, which had also been used in Porsche's faster sports-racing cars. It was reduced in size to six cylinders with only one overhead camshaft for each cylinder bank, but still formed the basis of all 911 engines since. Designs were not wasted at Porsche.
The 911 was an immediate success when the first cars left the production lines in 1964, Since then it has been developed further and further within its original concept, even more so than the 356. It has also had a more extensive competition history, taking in everything from the Monte Carlo Rally to Le Mans.

Don't or Avoid Using a Cell Phone While Driving
Our world is a fast moving place today. That being said I see more and more people as I am driving on the highway using their cell phones as they drive. It seems to me that they are just asking for trouble.
It is hard enough in today's busy world to drive in regular traffic without being distracted. Then people want to use their cell phones while driving. I am really surprised that more states don't make it against the law to talk on a cell phone while driving.
Now it is not the talking really on the cell that I am writing of. It is the holding the cell in one hand and trying to drive with the other hand. This is dangerous and more people really should stop this.
If you get a call on your cell while driving, just don't answer it. Wait until you get where your going then see who called and call them back. Or, you could just pull over on the side of the road and call the person back.
If you need to talk on the phone while driving get yourself a device that will allow you to answer the call, keep both hands on the wheel and talk at the same time. It is pretty simple when you think about it. So please be wise when using a cell phone and trying to drive because there are too many accidents that occur each year. Don't cause an accident be wise with your use of the cell phone in your vehicle.

Info on Diesel engine cars
Diesel-engined cars have long been popular in Europe with the first models being introduced as early as 1922 by Peugeot and the first production car, Mercedes-Benz 260 D in 1936 by Mercedes-Benz. The main benefit of diesel engines is a 50% fuel burn efficiency compared with 27% in the best gasoline engines. A down-side of the Diesel engine is that better filters are required to reduce the presence in the exhaust gases of fine soot particulates called diesel particulate matter. Manufacturers are now starting to fit[when?] diesel particulate filters to remove the soot. Many diesel-powered cars can run with little or no modifications on 100% biodiesel and combinations of other organic oils.

Car Security System For Your Car
Do You know how to choose the right Car Security System for your car???
For those who own cars, having it protected by the latest car security systems is crucial. However, car owners find it difficult in deciding the best security system that will guarantee safety of their vehicles. Because of the price of the security systems, some car owners avoid installing them. Even though the price of the security systems is high, car owners are likely to pay more in the event of the car being stolen. No matter the type of vehicle one has, they must be fitted with functioning security systems. Car security systems act as a deterrent to car thieves, and thieves are likely to steal cars that do not have some form of security system.There are many types of security systems available in the market today. Some of these systems are inbuilt with the car, while others are bought separately. Despite the various security systems, they can be grouped in three categories: inaudible systems, audible systems and ignition system immobilizers. The most widely used and preferred form of car security is the audible security system. The system works by producing a sound alert whenever unauthorized persons try to access the car. To reduce the chances of the alarm going off without reason, users can be able to set the alarms sensitivity level.
The audible car alarms allow users who sense a risky situation to manually cause the alarm to go off by pressing a panic button. However, the main disadvantage of the audible car system is the level of noise they create even with simple touches. Other than this, audible car security system is the best form of car security. Those who want to avoid all this noise can be able to install inaudible systems also known as private alert systems. The security system works by electronically paging the car owner in the event of a possible break in.
However, this system has one major fault in that it does not prevent the car from being stolen since it only sends a signal to the owner. The owner may not be able to get at the scene fast enough to prevent thieves from accessing the car. In addition, the car owner may get to the scene only to be confronted by the car thieves. Another car security system that is gaining popularity is the ignition system immobilizer. The system works by preventing unauthorized persons from starting the vehicle. It is said that this security system will be necessary for future vehicles.
In addition to the above, there are other security systems that are available to car owners. One of such systems is the use of intelligent GPS systems. Car fitted with this device can be easily located in the event they are stolen. The system works by sending the owner its location using a text message. Although there are car thieves, who can be able to uninstall the device, using of GPS is the best form of security. To reduce the chances of the car being stolen, some car owners opt for combining two or more security systems in their cars. For instance, one can use both the audible systems and the ignition immobilizers. Whichever security car system one selects, it is vital to know what to look out for so that the best system is selected.

Maintain Your Car
How to Maintain Your Car to Last Many Years
In order to maintain your car to last many years all you need to do is follow a few simple rules. Keeping a car a long time has many advantages. First, it is a lot cheaper to have an older car. Car license tabs are less expensive, often your car insurance is cheaper because you can remove your collison, and the car is paid off. Buying a new car also adds to global warming because it takes a lot of energy to build a new car.
1. Find a really great mechanic. I can't emphasize this enough. Building a solid relationship with a mechanic and a shop that can maintain your car well and has a solid reputation will keep your car humming. A trustworthy mechanic will also only do what needs to be done. Ask around to find out who your friends and relatives use. Don't be afraid to leave a bad mechanic and seek out a better one. A mechanic you trust will also save you money. Sometimes they can find used parts or parts that are made by another manufacturer that a dealer would never use.
2. Get regular oil changes. This means every 3,000 miles or every 3 months. And don't use cheap oil; use the oil recommended in your car manual.
3. Speaking of car manuals, make sure that you know when you need to have certain major items completed. Letting things go can really wreak havoc with your car. Don't do it.
4. Clean your car thoroughly at least every 3 months. Don't eat in your car. If food or mold starts to build up you'll ruin the insides of your car and it won't last as long. Likewise the outside of the car. A clean car that has a regular wax job will maintain it's body a lot longer.
5. Live in a city that doesn't salt it's roads. Although this is not always feasible, it does make a difference. Salt will rust your car.
In order to maintain your car to last many years all you need to do is follow a few simple rules. Keeping a car a long time has many advantages. First, it is a lot cheaper to have an older car. Car license tabs are less expensive, often your car insurance is cheaper because you can remove your collison, and the car is paid off. Buying a new car also adds to global warming because it takes a lot of energy to build a new car.
1. Find a really great mechanic. I can't emphasize this enough. Building a solid relationship with a mechanic and a shop that can maintain your car well and has a solid reputation will keep your car humming. A trustworthy mechanic will also only do what needs to be done. Ask around to find out who your friends and relatives use. Don't be afraid to leave a bad mechanic and seek out a better one. A mechanic you trust will also save you money. Sometimes they can find used parts or parts that are made by another manufacturer that a dealer would never use.
2. Get regular oil changes. This means every 3,000 miles or every 3 months. And don't use cheap oil; use the oil recommended in your car manual.

Saved your fuel while driving
Tips how to save your car fuel while driving
Want to save your fuel? Here are some tips that you can used while driving:
Step 1
These tips are for automatic transmissions only, not for a manual transmission because with a manual you already have fuel control.
Step 2
The most important tip is for you to try not to stop and accelerate too much. By that i mean if you see a red light from far away just step off the accelerator and let the car glide to the light. Chances are by the time you get to the light it'll turn green and could just press on the accelerator again and this will prevent stopping and starting.
Step 3
You also want to stay a steady speed. Keep a good distance between your car and the car in front of you and keep a stable speed and try to prevent fluctuating your speed.
Step 4
Make sure you change your oil when necessary. And make sure you have enough air in your tires. Because if you don't your just basically throwing money out the window.

Electric Car Is Another Way To Combat Rising Fuel Cost
Another Way of Fuel Saving; Electric car
With fuel prices soaring and no end in sight, it only makes sense to look for alternatives. Face it, you need to travel for work, school, or shopping and without a car, these tasks are almost impossible. Not all communities and areas provide public transportation, so what do you do? Converting your car or buying an electric car makes perfect sense.
An electric car is a car that uses electric motors instead of an internal combustion engine. In essence, these cars are rechargeable. They have battery packs that are charged, thus powering the vehicle. You can even convert your already owned car to an electric. There are also cars that utilize both battery power and fuel power. These are known as hybrids and are widely available.
Electric cars are not a new concept. Some of the first cars were electric. The improvement of battery storage helped the electric car to flourish. Many early electric cars hold speed and distance records. Don't worry about electric cars being slow. They are not; this was proved on the popular show Mythbusters. Some of these vehicles can achieve speeds of up to 135 mph, and on a single charge can reach the fuel equivalent of 135 mpg U.S.
The use of Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries makes electric cars capable of distances of up to 245 miles. This is a great improvement from early batteries that could get up to 100 miles on a single charge. In December 2007, Fortune announced 11 new companies that will begin producing electric cars in the future.

Find Suitable Car On Internet
Find Your Suitable Car Through Internet
No sooner have you started searching for car prices on the Internet, your head will be spinning with competitive car prices and promises of prompt delivery, dedicated customer service response, and huge discounts. Are all of those promises and claims to be believed? Your guess is as good as mine, if you want the truth. But then, there are ways to help you find the less unscrupulous ones on the Internet and bring you honest-to-goodness car prices that are well worth your time and money.
There are tons of car and used car websites where you can research on car prices on the Internet. Some of the more popular ones are www.cars.com, www.invoicedealers.com, www.autoweb.com, www.carsdirect.com, www.edmunds.com, www.autos.com, www.car.com, and www.autousa.com. These websites are, essentially, websites that lets car sellers and dealers post their cars and used cars for sale together with the car prices that they are willing to sell the car for. Car buyers will log into the website looking for the car that they want and when the sale goes through, the car seller and car buyer will perform a transaction and the website gets a cut and the car seller gets the rest. The car prices consist of the price of the car, the commission of the seller and the commission due to the listing website. Well, that’s if we assume that there are no other parties involved in this transaction. If there are more people stuck in the middle trying to make a quick buck out of the car sale, the car price will hike up accordingly.
If you already know the make and model of the car you’re interested to purchase, the only thing left to do is to go to those car listing website, search through their database, check out the car prices they have there and compare the car prices they have with the ones in other websites. Don’t forget to compare the car prices with the local car dealer and used-car dealer too, just for good measure. You’ll be surprised, sometimes, the local car dealer may have better car prices for you. if not, perhaps the used car dealer may have a fabulous deal in store for you with a car with an unbelievable price and in perfect condition (not the banged-up, knocked-around, and shabbily fixed-up) kind.
Comparing car prices is important. You can do this with a spreadsheet like Excel file. This is easy but if you are going to take your own sweet time researching the car prices, make sure you mark down the date you extract the prices. Car prices go up and down faster than you can imagine. Try find car prices at http://search.ebay.com/car_eBay-Motors_W0QQsacatZ6000
When researching car prices, the more important thing to ensure is the condition of the car. One of the ways to determine if the car price is worth it is to take a look at the picture of the car, if personal examination is not possible at that point in time. However, pictures can be manipulated. And some pictures are not genuine, i.e., the picture is not the real car picture of the car that is for sale. So, be wary, keep in touch with the seller and if the seller sounds dodgy, dodge him…or her.
