Comments on: Electric Car Revolution? Zinc Batteries Powered By Sun And Air http://gas2.org/2009/10/23/electric-car-revolution-zinc-batteries-powered-by-sun-and-air/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

Anyone wanting more info should start at the Salamander home page: www.salamanderian.com Marti: I know the unfortunate limitations of solar furnaces (like Mike I live in the UK) however I'm not sure burning wood or charcoal on the scale needed would be environmentally friendly. There is some great research going on on highly efficient solar furnaces so ... touch wood :) Thank you for all the comments everyone.

Our country has a lot of wood, little sun. Wouldn’t it be possible to replenish zinc oxide to zinc, carbothermically, by using charcoal only? Our country has a lot of wood, little sun.

Haven't been able to find an address for APET so far, would appreciate any help you could give me.

I thing water fuel powered car is also a great example in this category. Nice post I think these kind of innovation and steps definitely help us to fight against the global warming.

At the same time, the circle of APET's solution is well thoughted. With their solutions, if it realize that means its much closer to ship processed Zinc from solar rich desert of Nevada than Mideast. Further more, thru their cycle; its high purity of zincoxide been processed, instead of high impurity zinc that dig from the earth. Since Zinc will not be destroyed, It will be a sustained energy circle. Well done guys, stick with it... hope we can breath as we drive... hi Boris – the carbothermic is the exact approach APET adopt. At the same time, the circle of APET’s solution is well thoughted.
