with electric motor was assembled in England. By the end of nineteenth century‚ hundreds of electric cars were being used in the United States. A significant development occurred when Porsche- a German- invented a hybrid when he used an internal combustion engine and then combined it with an electric motor. This is recorded as the first hybrid car in the history. Later‚ in the start of twentieth century‚ Henry Ford- father of automobile industry- developed the first assembly line manufacturing plant

The Evolution of the Automobile The official definition of an automobile is “a passenger vehicle designed for operation on ordinary roads and typically having four wheels and a gasoline or diesel internal-combustion engine” (Merriam-Webster 51). There is no one person accredited for the invention of the automobile‚ but rather a collection of advancements that evolved into the modern-day automobile (Smith 12). Today‚ there are approximately 600 million passenger vehicles in existence worldwide

Hybrid cars: Corrected Abstract: A hybrid car‚ also known as an HEV or hybrid electric vehicle‚ is an automobile that is powered by two sources; an internal combustion engine‚ and an electric motor. HEV’s need plugs‚ as they are amply charged by the movement of the wheels and storing the kinetic energy that is generated through a process called regenerative braking. cars have been accepted as a solution to the current pollution problems that we face‚ as they offer lower emissions than gasoline

Introduction: The easiest way to achieve our aim is by heating a substance with a known specific heat capacity and using the energy released from burning our fuels. This will give us the value of the heat energy released by the combustion of our two fuels. The chemical reaction for combustion: FUEL + O2 Heat energy released CO2 + H2O It is the heat energy released that we are concerned with‚ the amount released in this reaction will provide us with the calorific

Not All Charging Stations Are the Same The one thing you may miss about driving a vehicle with an internal combustion engine is that all gas stations are essentially the same. If you know how to fill up at one‚ you know how to fill up at all of them. Furthermore‚ you know how long it takes to fill your vehicle‚ regardless of where it’s being done. One thing you’ll

was born in Paris in 1958. In 1983‚ he published a paper describing an engine with combustion within a cylinder‚ the internal combustion engine. Rudolf Diesel was almost killed by his engine‚ when it exploded. However‚ his engine was the first that proved that fuel could be ignited without a spark. He operated his first working engine n 1897. In 1898‚ Rudolf Diesel was granted a patent for an “internal combustion engine”‚ the diesel engine. Diesel engines were being used to power automobiles‚

Water cooling is commonly used for cooling automobile internal combustion engines and large industrial facilities such as steam electric power plants‚ hydroelectric generators‚ petroleum refineries and chemical plants. Water Pump - the pump in the cooling system of an automobile that cause the water to circulate. Pump -
