Response to "Honda FCX"
What I found helpful is I found that newest idea in efficient cars, and lerned and understood a lot about it. What it addes to my topis is just it is one of many fuel efficient cars. It doesn't chang my thinking about anything.The new questions I might ask is how does the hydrogen fuell cell engine acually work. There aren't any new developments in my topic because this car is that lastest development. I dont really need any background infromation to understand about the car ecept I would like to know how the engine works.

Notes on "Honda FCX"
The Honda FCX is over 397 pounds lighter, has 120% better power to weight ratio. 20% more fuel efficient, and has a powertrain that is 45% more compact and 10% more energy efficient. What Is a fuel cell powerd car? Well it is a electric motor running on electricity generated by a hydrogen-powerd fuel cell stack. How you would refuel this car is at the designated hydrogen refueling stations witch would be at your house and fuels your car with gaseous hydrogen, and in messuerd in Kilograms, and not gallon like gas but 1 gallon is gas is that same as 1 Kg of gaseous hydrogen. This car is the newest in efficient car ideas, and becoming quite popular.

5 paragraph essay
1) This topic interests me because of the different and creative ideas to make a more efficient car. I think this topic will interest me for the next 5 – 6 months because of the new ideas coming out that I can research. I don’t think this research will have a impact on my future at all. The questions I might ask are what are the newest ideas for more efficient cars? What is the most efficient car? What was the first efficient car? How has the ideas improved sense the first idea of more efficient cars?
2) There is a new idea coming out for a hydrogen fuel cell car. Also electric cars are becoming more powerful, and being able to drive longer on a single charge. One of the articles that I found was “fuel cell vs. batteries”. The argument was about whether or not a fuel call powered car or an electric car or battery powered car were better. Another one was “ Tesla motors: electric car” which was an fully battery powered car that was a sports car that could reach speeds of 244mph and drive as long as 241 miles to a charge. Also there was one on solar powered cars and all that was about were different solar powered cars. I think a lot of helpful info was found browsing the internet other then like the New York Times and thing like that.
3) Sources of information are news papers, magazines like popular science, and popular mechanics. Also a lot of web sites like different car manufactures stay green sites, and other websites. Also TV like discover channel, and the science channel. I feel that finding information about my topic is very easy because of all the different recourses of that are about my topic. Two books on my topic are Fuel Efficient Car Technology by M. L. Poulton and is about Poulton's concern with fuel economy improvement in cars. Another book is Gas Guzzling by Adam Reitzes and is about buying the more efficient cars. These book would help me by giving me information and different view points on more efficient cars.
4) The dates of the articles that I found were mostly updated in October 2009. Over the next few months of researching this topic I think new ideas might come out, or some improvements on old ideas. What I would like to find out is a different idea on a fuel efficient car. The reason that my topic will change over time is the problem is not resolved to were there is a totally non using fuel car that is affordable, and then we cancel out having to use gas all the way for cars.
5) Five ways these topics will force me to think is one I have to think about how I'm going to find new information. Two is I might think about different things about every different car. Three would be having to learn about fuel efficient cars, four is how they work and five is when will fuel efficient cars really start to be a big deal. Who I might ask about my topic is maybe a engineer, or the inventor of a fuel efficient car or even a dealer. The reason they might be a good source of information is they would know the most about fuel efficient cars. I could go to a car dealership, or a factory to find the engineer. This would be helpful because I think I would get a lot of information for the present efficient cars, and future efficient cars. I could observe a efficient car vs. a gas guzzling car, and compare different things. But I think that would be hard to do. For the reason I don't know anyone with a fuel efficient car, and I don't have the equipment to compare both cars.
