Sepeda dengan tenaga air sebagai bahan bakarnya

Sure you could wait a few months and get one of those fancy hydrogen fuel cell cars coming from Japan, or you could get some fresh air with the Pearl fuel cell bike from Valeswood right now. Instead of pedaling yourself up hills and along the highways, the Pearl helps you out by giving you the extra oomph when needed. Best of all, the only byproduct is water, making this one eco-friendly bicycle.With a top speed of 15 miles-per-hour and a range of 80 miles, you probably won't have to recharge the two storage canisters that often, but if you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and you're too tired to pedal yourself home, the bike folds in half for easy storage in a car trunk. The bad news? The Pearl sells for $4,000, which might make you think twice about power assisted bicycles.

Banyak sekali orang yang ingin menggunakan sepeda sebagai alat transportasi utama mereka tetapi dengan pertimbangan kaki pegal dan lainnya, mereka mengurungkan niatnya. Tetapi lain halnya apabila anda memiliki sepeda yang satu ini, bukan saja sepeda ini bisa berjalan dengan mesin yang ada (bila anda terlalu lelah mengayuh) tetapi yang lebih hebat lagi, sepeda ini menggunakan air sebagai bahan bakarnya (Hydrogen Fueled).

Sepeda ini bisa mencapai kecepatan sekitar 24 km per jam dan dapat menempuh jarak sekitar 128 km.

Anda pasti ingin segera memilikinya dan lagipula, "Sepeda Air" ini juga sudah tersedia di Jepang tapi yang jadi masalah apakah anda rela mengelurkan uang sekitar Rp. 40.000.000 untuk sepeda ini

ENV Fuel Cell Bike: motor dengan bahan bakar air

If electric cars are any indications to go by, an electric-powered bike ought to be a total sucker, or so goes the general theory. But with manufacturers increasingly focusing on incorporating green technology within their designs, the future of biking sure seems to rest with electric and alternative-fuel engines. One of the front-runners on the green bike pack is the ENV Bike from Intelligent

Energy which is all set to be the world’s first commercially available hydrogen-powered bike when it hits showrooms next year. Utilizing a removable fuel-cell, the zero-cylinder ENV runs as quiet as a cat which could be a potential turn-off for most bikers since the roar of a revving engine is one of the main attractions for bikers. But the manufacturers of this futuristic bike are depending on the sleek styling and the energy-efficiency of the bike to push sales for it. The fuel cell used in this design produces a nice high torque thanks to a proton-exchange membrane that pushes a full 6kw of peak-load power and the fact that a single hydrogen tank can go for a full four hours or roughly a 100 miles without a charge, is an added bonus for those looking for a good mileage out of their bikes. The best part about this eco-bike is that instead of CO2, it emits water! not that this bike can double up as an alternative water source in the near future, but hey, water is much superior a bike emission than the obnoxious CO and CO2 fumes we currently have going through our lungs.

ENV Fuel Cell Bike mungkin akan menjadi motor pertama dengan bahan bakar Fuel Cell (mengubah sumber alam menjadi tenaga listrik) yang akan segera diluncurkan dalam waktu dekat.

Hebatnya lagi, motor ini bisa menggunakan air sebagai sumber tenaganya dan satu tank penuh bisa berjalan selama 4 jam tanpa henti atau sekitar 160 km.

Modelnya pun mengingatkan kepada motor jagoan dari Jepang, Kamen Rider.

ENV juga menghasilkan suara mesin yang sangat halus bahkan hampir tidak terdengar sehingga membuat kenyaman para tetangga tidak terganggu pada saat kita pulang subuh.

Ini dia kendaraan yang cocok untuk saat ini dimana harga BBM semakin mahal.
