CPU: Zilog Z80A 4 Mhz but giving an actual performance of a 3.3 MHz Z80
All CPC models were based on a Z80 processor to 4 MHz Zilog However, due to be shared with the RAM circuit video, the Z80 can only make a memory access every four cycles, which produces round effect of the length of the cycle of instruction to the next multiple of four. Therefore the speed is equivalent to a 3.3 MHz Z80 processor instead of 4 MHz, note that for this reason, the performance in terms of processor, a CPC is lower than that of a ZX Spectrum Z80 has a 3.5 MHz

Hydrogen The energy vector that is attracting most attention is hydrogen, postulated as a possible candidate to replace oil as fuel in automotive. Multitude of ecological associations advocate the use of hydrogen as a clean fuel. However, the hydrogen, as a vector energetico, can only be considered fair if it comes in turn from clean energy sources. Currently, the hydrogen is obtained in 95 of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and only 5 by hydrolysis taking into account that electricity is generated by hydrolysis in turn, mainly by burning electricity ESCO of fossil fuels. when surfing looking up about energy in New York, I came across at where you can read up on fuel, gas, and electricity But even if only through hydrolysis generate hydrogen from renewable energies (wind energy, etc.), the National Academy of Engineering believes that process efficiency is only 30 . This means that in the process of conversion of energy electricity to hydrogen, it loses 70 of energy. For this reason, and the technical difficulties of storing hydrogen, it is still unclear whether an improvement in the performance of the batteries may be a better medium-term strategy that the hydrogen to power natural gas vehicles....
