An unsaturated hydrocarbon production apparatus includes: a light collecting device configured to collect sunlight, and to convert the sunlight into solar heat; and a heating furnace configured to heat a raw material gas containing at least any one selected from the group consisting of methane and hydrogen, methane and oxygen, and ethane with the solar heat generated by the light collecting device to 700° C. or more and 2,000° C. or less.

Intake efficiency in an intake system is improved. An intake system takes air through an air inlet duct extending from an air cleaner case, and includes a vortex generator that causes the flow of the intake air inside the air inlet duct to rotate around an axis of the air inlet duct.

Intake system

A hydrogen production apparatus includes: a first furnace configured to heat a mixed gas of a raw material gas, which contains at least methane, and hydrogen to 1,000&#xb0; C. or more and 2,000&#xb0; C. or less; and a second furnace configured to accommodate a catalyst for accelerating a reaction of a first gas generated in the first furnace to a nanocarbon material, and to maintain the first gas at 500&#xb0; C. or more and 1,200&#xb0; C. or less.

Hydrogen production apparatus and hydrogen production method

A saddle-ride type vehicle in which an engine is supported on a body frame and radiators are disposed forward of the engine is provided, wherein waste heat of the radiators is prevented from reaching the engine. The saddle-ride type vehicle includes a radiator shroudthat covers a range from a lateral side of a radiatorto a lateral side of a cylinder headof the engine E. The radiator shroudhas an exhaust portopening outward in a vehicle width direction. The saddle-ride type vehicle also includes a partition wallA between the radiator and the cylinder head. The partition wallA separates a rear spaceof the radiatorand the cylinder headfrom each other and brings the rear spaceinto communication with the exhaust portof the radiator shroud

Saddle-ride type vehicle

A saddle-ride type vehicle is capable of achieving miniaturization of a front cowl while ensuring a flow rate of air introduction. An opening penetrating through a longitudinal direction of a vehicle is formed below the center in a height direction of a vertically long windshield. First traveling air is passed through the opening formed in the windshield. A direction of the first traveling air is then changed by a guide member, and is moved upward along a back surface of the windshield. Excessive vacuum on the back surface of the windshield is corrected. Since an opening is formed in the windshield, it is not necessary to increase a width of the front cowl, and miniaturization of the front cowl can be achieved. Since the windshield is formed as a vertically long windshield, the opening can be formed to be vertically long, and an opening area can be ensured.

Left and right radiators in a saddle type vehicle are formed in a trapezoidal shape and disposed such that a shorter one of two side portions of each of the radiators which extend in parallel or substantially in parallel to each other as viewed in front elevation is positioned at the inner side in the vehicle widthwise direction. A longer one of the side portions is disposed at the outer side in the vehicle widthwise direction. Forward projections of an exhaust pipe projecting forwardly from an engine pass below the shorter side portions at the inner side in the vehicle widthwise direction of the radiators.

Saddle type vehicle

A saddle-ride type vehicle includes a front cowl capable of improving appearance quality while suppressing enlargement of the front cowl. Recessed parts recessed rearwardly of a vehicle are formed in front cowls in positions outwardly of front members in a vehicle width direction. The introduction port is formed in the recessed part. The recessed parts are recessed rearwardly of the vehicle beyond tangents brought into contact with the front members and the front cowls. Since guide walls are arranged within a range viewed from introduction ports in a front view, such a possibility that wiring or the like in a front cowl is viewed through the introduction ports in the front view is precluded Immediately behind the introduction ports, air is guided in a desired direction by the guide walls. For this reason, a limited amount of air can be effectively utilized.
