Hybrid Airplane

Hybrid Airplane
Several companies including, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, and Siemans are teaming up to develop the first ever electric airplane. They want a test model by 2020, and they want the actual model up and running by 2025. The biggest problems that they will be facing is the weight of the batteries to cool the engine. I think that coming out with an electric airplane is a big step forward in saving our environment considering it takes 9,000 gallons of gas to fly cross country.

    I think this is a great idea! I think that if they are able to develop this electric plane, the environment will majorly benefit from the use of less gas in commercial airlines.

    I also think an electric plane is a great idea. It will be a super energy efficient way to travel, but I wonder if the companies will be able to create an actual model by 2025. Their time frame may be a little too short for what they are trying to accomplish. I'm also curious to know how much money is going to be spent testing and building the electric plane.

    I as well think the electric airplane is a great idea, though many problems may easily occur and it is quite nerve racking. Easily it can benefit us, but I do see things we need to get passed, and with these obstacles comes a large price tag.

    I think if developed correctly and right, an electric plane is a great idea. Their are millions of people who travel a year and its extremely expensive. Along with it being super efficient hopefully it will cut down on the price of plane tickets.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
