Do you think this is a good idea for Japan's car pollution problem?
I've just returned from there and was shocked at how polluted it was for such a beautiful country.Especially considering the Japanese are so technically advanced.
One idea i had (whilst being smothered in smoke fumes ^^) was to have devices at just above ground level which are like fans but suck in the fumes and convert them to friendly gas - they would then emit the gas as cool or hot air depending on the outside air temperature..these would be all along the city/town roads at about 5 metre intervals and would be solar powered.Pedestrians and even the motorists themselves would benefit from having cleaner air to breathe which improves quality of life substantially.
Very good in theory.
Consider how big the suction fans would have to be and how much energy it would take to power them. If solar was the power source then a very large solar array would be requires. For these large suction fans to run at night then a very large bank of batteries would be required to supply the power.
Tearing up the streets in just Tokyo to build underground tunnels would take years and the cost would be staggering.
Building plants to convert auto emissions into friendly gases and discharging them safely would be a major undertaking.
Solar Powered Electric Cars
Toyota Introduces Solar Power To Electric Vehicles
Toyota is developing electric cars which can utilize solar panels for power. This is the first time that Toyota is using solar energy, a great renewable source of energy to charge electric batteries in hybrid cars.
Solar panels are being mounted on each end of new Toyota electric cars to draw renewable energy from the sun. This is not the first time solar energy has been introduced as a source of energy to power automobiles. It is possible to create a solar powered vehicle but there are trade-offs when it comes to speed. As far as using it for powering electric batteries found in hybrid vehicles there is considerable concern as to whether or not the sun will be able to provide enough power to charge the battery.
Solar powered methods have been used for powering outdoor lamps. These lamps collect energy from the sun during the day and then can be used at night. That type of simple and efficient energy transfer for hybrid type vehicles still needs more development and improvement.
It would seem, however, that Toyota may have found a means to effectively recharge hybrid batteries. Though Toyota has made no comment regarding this prototype, it is conceivable that solar energy could be harvested through panels and may possess enough energy to power dashboards systems, headlights, windshield wipers and even the vehicles radio. Other more energy utilizing systems may require much more power than panels can provide. If Toyota has found a way around this we'll know soon enough.
Since 2008, it has been rumored that Toyota has created a roof top solar panel for a next generation Prius. We know Toyota has been using solar power for its plant in central Japan but beyond that we'll just have to wait and see. But even if this becomes a mainstream reality, what price tag will it have?
When asked about the affect on the cash for car business, the owner of Quick Cash Auto felt he'd be doing fine either way. More than likely the price tag will be steep and in this economy where people are literally getting rid of leased and pre-owned vehicles like hot cakes to places like Quick Cash Auto, it'll probably be a long while before one could really consider a solar powered hybrid as a factor on present car values. And even if the day comes when everyone wants a new solar paneled trick out hybrid, they'll probably want to sell their current car anyway. So it looks like he'll be just fine. We're definitely going to be keeping an eye on later developments in this area. After all, this is the future of hybrids.
Remember when the first hybrid came out? It was heralded as the future of the conventional car. My how far we've come! And it looks like we're just getting started.
