  • Posted December 6, 2011 at 2:58 am

The 02 Arena is a large indoor arena located right in the middle of O2 (London) which serves as a site for entertainment. Many thrilling concerts are organised there and millions of people attend them. You can also find cinema, music club, bars, exhibition room etc. However, it is also known as being one of the most popular places for getting stranded at.

The basic problem:

Because of the sheer size of the arena it can take you hours or perhaps even days if you fail to get out of there. It is wise to plan some precautionary measures to risk this possibility.

Have you ever thought of this solution: booking a black cab is a much better idea than getting stranded?It is important to know you can find about 50 black cabs at the North Greenwich station. These taxis are a reliable source of the transport to the O2 arena and works in accordance with Transport for London. Note that customers who need to be picked up can only stop the black cabs on the streets. The taxis reserved for personal hiring cannot allow fares unless they have been claimed in a private headquarter. Or, you also have the option of doing this via a phone. Whatever suits you, but taking a step like this is a wise decision.

There are a few things which you should take into account regarding this. Consider the general price which may amount to fifteen pounds. It is good that you already have an idea about the money so that you know you are being charged right.

While a black cab makes your job easier, you must realize that the 02 is a very busy location. People amounting to 20,000 exit a concert after it is over so the waiting is definitely not short.

You may want to note down some tips on how to make the most out of such a situation. Firstly, you can always reserve a cab in advance by keeping the contacts of some black cab businesses in hand.

1) The first option is Dial-A-Cab.

2) Also consider Computer Cab.

3) Last but not the least, include Radio Taxis too.

The black cabs are not cheap but as mentioned before, it helps if you are looking forward to escape O2 arena without facing the hassle of battling the crowd. There are many more methods of travelling there e.g. by air or train but a black cab is the safest of all options.

Solar Hydrogen Charging Station for Hydrogen Cars

  • Posted May 3, 2011 at 4:16 am

Honda finally revealed their new solar hydrogen system, and all the signs point to an amazing success. The solar station is smaller than earlier models and allows hydrogen car owner’s to fuel their fuel cells overnight. The unit will only take up a small amount of space in your garage unlike earlier models.

Honda has redesigned the components of the solar station and has eliminated the need for a compressor. The new model is the result of what they did to slim down the recharging station. The solar station is also smart grid friendly and will not need any hydrogen storage for the fuel cells to recharge. This allows the solar station to lower the CO2 emission even greater, allowing the car owner to use off-peak electricity all the way around.

The Honda solar hydrogen station is built to recharge the car overnight in 8 hours. With a single charge it is able to get you were you would normally go in a single day worth of driving and home without any worries of recharging your car.

The designers of this new solar station have talked of setting up a string of charging stations so people could travel longer distances. The solar stations are built to have a fast charge fill up. And any car with this technology would be able to help from public charging stations.

Honda is continuing its developments of this concept and its coast to coast fueling station will likely become more of reality before too long. For Honda it’s a matter of getting investors on board to support the fueling stations and there’s no telling what will happen.

The Honda solar car can travel 240 miles on an overnight charge of 8 hours and the capability to do a fast charge in 5 minutes. This increase’s the travel range of the car. If travelers could find a place to do overnight fills than there would be no distance this car couldn’t go.

Overall this seems like a great idea on how to help the economy. But how many people are going to have the money to buy this car and buy a fueling station for their home? This would be a great change but how many other ways is it going to cost us to help the economy? This could better are economy in so many ways and people should really take in to consideration of furthering this idea.
