Diesel Engine Research Paper
Everyone in the world drives a car, and a lot of them don't know how the engine works. I have grown up around engines my whole life. My dad never took any of his vehicles to a shop, unless it was something major, which is why I'm so interested in them. I have had the great opportunity to learn about the components of an engine, and just how interesting it is. Engines are interesting, because of their history, different parts of the engine, and the different types of a single motor.
I found that the history of the engine was entertaining to research. The engine was first built in the 1800's century using gunpowder to make the machine combust. Then in the 17th century, two German inventors started to make steam engines, which worked very well …show more content…
An electric engine is very different motor from a gas or diesel engine. Instead of fuel, it uses a lot of batteries. Since it has no fuel, it uses no emissions, which makes it much more eco-friendly. It also is a lot cheaper to use electric cars than a gas car. An electric car can average around 1 cent per mile, while at $2.20 a gas engine averages 8 cents per mile. An electric engine also has much less power than a gas or diesel engine. They also cant go nearly as far as a gas or diesel engine due to the batteries being used very quickly. They average around 60 miles until they die and have to be recharged. It also takes a lot longer to get up to a certain speed, such as it takes around 15 seconds to reach 60 MPH. An average gas engine takes around 8 seconds to reach 60 MPH. If they improve upon the distance, power, and speed, then it will probably be much more sought after. One major problem is you can only charge it at your house or at a charging station, which are very rare. This means that if you wanted to go on a road trip, you wouldn't be able to take that car most likely, unless you aren't going to far and map out charging stations along the way. The electric motor may be very different from other engines, but I see in the future the electric motor will be much more likely to be bought, because of all the major things they will probably do to
