Audi E-Tron and H-tron

By Tej Mehta

E-Tron Quattro

The Audi E-Tron Quattro is going to be Tesla's competition for their model X. Audi released this concept at Frankfurt Motor show in September. The Audi E-Tron Quattro is an electric "people hauler" according to Audi. It is a car that looks like the Audi Q5, but the size has been cut down a little bit. Audi claims it has a 310 mile range. They say it should arrive early 2018. It has three motors, two for the back wheels and one for the front. It gets 492-496 Horse power, depending on whether you are using a small boost or not. Audi says that the top speed is 130 MPH and the acceleration to 62 MPH is 4.6 seconds. That it a little bit more than one second slower than a Tesla model X signature series model. Instead of the rear view mirrors, their are cameras to reduce drag and add to the car's aerodynamic body. In the interior, there are two touchscreen displays on the left and right to the instrument cluster. The display on the right is for the navigation and steering and the  display on the left is for the lights and auto drive functions. Audi also released organic light-emitting diode Matrix laser headlights. According to the author of this story on Autoweek, he says that everything looks good, but that is what they always do for concepts. Therefore, we will have to wait until the car is completely released.

H-Tron

The Audi H-Tron was released at the most recent Detroit Auto show. It is supposed to be Audi's Hydrogen crossover. It has two motors, one for the front wheels and one for the back. The front motor gives 90 kW while the back gives 140 kW. The acceleration is about 0-60 in 7 seconds, which is much slower than Tesla's Model X signature series. The H tron is supposed to drive itself under speeds of 37 MPH. It is supposed to have a tank that takes about 4 minutes to refill, and a 372 mile range. We do not know when the H-Tron will go into production.

Air Pollution (grade levels 4-8)

Air Pollution Next post in series Samuel Desai Many environmental activists, unlike me, like to say that pollution is an important issue. I prefer to categorize them into three different topics. Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Noise Pollution, and Light Pollution. The other types of pollution are for another week but don't worry, you will hear about them soon. You may believe that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) it the only pollutant, but it isn't. There are others. One type is methane gas, emitted by livestock and swamps. Another CFC's or chlorofluorocarbons which were used in refrigerators, hairspray, and many other things. But they were banned internationally in 2010 because of its deteriorating effect on the ozone layer. Personally, I think that the pollutant which harms us the most is sulfur dioxide. Sulfur Dioxide is a component in smog, but also reflects sunlight out into space, causing a global cooling. This may seem good, but sulfur dioxide is directly linked

Recently, the Tesla model X came out, and by recently, I mean yesterday! Elon Musk said this stuff on  twitter . With a whopping price of 130,000 and more it is very costly, but, the  car is great. The Tesla model X is a family friendly,  and and safe car. It seats 7, with 2 fold-able seats in the third row. The signature series, includes a 90 kWh battery pack, autopilot and self driving functions, and third  row seats. for 10,000 more dollars, ludicrous mode will be added to the X, making it go from 0-60 in  3.2   seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, for 1,000 more dollars, there is the subzero weather package, including heated steering wheel, seat heaters, heated washer fluid, and wiper defrosters. Also, for 750 more dollars, the car will be able to heave 5000 lbs. The falcon wing doors that the X has have sensors to keep them from slamming into walls, so it will stop at a certain point. I used Business Insider, and you can read the article  here. Check out Tesla's page while you'r

On No! Bees Are Endangered Because of Habitat Alteration ! By: Kaden Chien The IUCN has recently discovered a new Species of Bees called Bombus Fraternus. The Bombus Fraternus is a North American bee that is Endangered because of Habitat Alteration. This may be due to human activity such as Cutting down Trees or pollution. This species may go extinct in 80-90 years if this activity keeps up. Efforts to help with this species is going up. But what is strange is that where there are larger efforts, the population in those states are decreasing more than other states! The studies show that the c urrent range size relative to historic range: 71.38% and the  Persistence in current range relative to historic occupancy: 43.33% also, the c urrent relative abundance relative to historic values: 14.40% and lastly, the a verage decline: 56.96%.  If you want an image of a Bombus Fraternus you will see one down there: Now you will find the scientific classification of the Bombus Frat
