The alternative fuel source

By Sam

Quick look at Alydro

• Brand new technology• Uses aluminum and water reaction to create a

clean energy• Fully recyclable• Sustainable, safe, affordable

Alydro hybrid electric vehicle(A.H.E.V) Range: Runs for more than 2400km without running out of fuel. It takes about 5 minutes to refuel.

Affordability: Cost is similar to gasoline.

Safety: Aluminum fuel is non-toxic and non-flammable.

Green Footprint: Tail pipe only has air and steam coming out.

Eco-friendly: Aluminum is fully recyclable.

How A.H.E.V works1. Alydro reactor is heated to 750-900 degrees Celsius.2. Aluminum is melted inside the reactor.3. Water is injected into the molten aluminum.4. Reaction generates heat, aluminum oxide and hydrogen.5. Oxide is collected in a separate container to be recycled6. Hydrogen is put into generator to make electricity

Energy storage and capacityCapacity: 1 MWh of energy only takes up 43 litres of fuel

Cost of Storage: Storing 1 KWh cost under $0.20.

Safety: Alydro is non-toxic and non-flammable.

Storage: Aluminum can be stored without going bad.

Sustainability: Aluminum is fully recyclable

How the A.H.E.V works (diagram)

BenefitsEnergy capacity: Just a litre of Alydro contains 23.3 KWh but a litre of gasoline only contains 9.4KWh of energy.

Cost: $1.9/kg so its less than $0.09/km.

Safety: Alydro is non-toxic and non-flammable.

Environment: Alydro has no emission, so no pollution.

Sustainability: Alydro is fully recyclable.

Transport: Alydro is very easy to transport because it is a solid.

Benefits summaryThis is the comparison of benefits of many different types of fuel compared to Alydro

Alydro reaction

Translation:Aluminum atoms and 3 water molecules

react to make 1 aluminium-oxide molecule and 3 hydrogen (H2) molecules.
