Ash-

thanks for the link, that was a cool bit of anime.

I tend towards focusing on photovoltaic technology more than others. I believe that should be the main "fuel" source!

No problemo, gohm. Though, I must mention that you have to be a little careful to distinguish "anime" and CGI, haha. Of course, unless you mean animation in general.

I would vote for Hydrogen, water, electricity and fuel cell.
Bio diesel may be efficient but it still causes pollution. And why coal petrol and other fossil fuels on the list.
Steam may be an option but i am not sure.
Nice clip ash.....what is CGI though....and what is the difference between CGI and Anime.....the clip looked like a normal animated cartoon to me.

CGI is computer generated whereas anime is normally tradidional animation using drawings etc.

I did also find a cool anime about steam called "steamboy" done by the guy who did Akira. The western movie I was refering too was called "Wild wild west" with Will Smith.

bio diesel will be our next alternative that man can exploit.

This might be a bit off the topic, but have you guys heard about the experiments done in Norway by engineers on producing electricity by reverse - electrolysis (not very sure).

This electricity can power motors that can drive a car!

I think thats how fuel cells work.
They combine Hydrogen and Oxygen to produce water and electricity. Thats reverse of what happens in electrolysis.

Oh great! I guess time has come for me to go through my electrical engineering books .

So, are fuel cells 100% eco-friendly? [Do we need a separate discussion thread for this?]

Yes, I think we do

Yep, Gohm is right. "Anime" in general is the term given to japanese-style cartoons. They are somewhat based on the manga comics. Traditionally they use "multiple still images in rapid succession to produce the animated visual effect", while CGI uses the computer to generate the images Both are subset to "animation".

Regarding Bio-diesel.. look at the rising food prices right now. Don't you think its best to focus on cultivating fertile lands for food these days?
