Metal Fuel
Abstract:
Cheap and constant availability of fuel is a major concern of present day civilization. Different efforts are being directed in this direction with a rising concern about environmental degradation also. Rocketing fuel prices, pollution-choked streets and global warming could change the relationship between transportation and mankind in coming times. People have already experienced importance of concentrates in items like soap, paste, washing powder etc. and it will be of great importance if such concentrates become available in terms of fuels that fullfill qualities like, production of more energy with small amount, cost-effective, easy availability and environmental friendly and will prove to be the fuel of the future. Metal nano-particles are the promising candidates in this direction.
