One of the alternatives is to use the electric motor instead of gasoline one. An electric car is a car that powered by an electric motor rather than a regular gasoline engine. There are several major differences between gasoline and electric cars. First of all‚ “the electric motor will replace the gasoline engine” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). Secondly‚ “the electric motor is powered by a controller” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). Thirdly‚ “the controller gets power from the rechargeable batteries” (“How

We humans cause deforestation by cutting down trees for fuel‚ paper‚ and other products. The use of wood and charcoal only adds to the already vast amount of polluted gases in the atmosphere. Deforestation is another cause and effect meaning we should protect our trees to stop the greenhouse effect‚ and so we

Operation DIESEL ENGINE PROBLEMS: FUEL‚ AIR‚ STARTING‚ WIRING Many cases of engine failure are a result of a relatively small number of faults so it’s often possible to get the motor running again within a few minutes. However‚ when diagnosing problems it’s important to work in a systematic fashion and avoid the temptation to jump to conclusions.

and lighting. The largest sources of energy in the world are oil (34%)‚ coal (26.5%)‚ and gas (20.9%)1‚ adding up to over 80% of global energy. These types of fuels are called fossil fuels because they are found in fossil carbon deposits in the ground. An important difference between fossil fuels and other sources of energy is that fossil fuels are non-renewable‚ meaning that once they are used‚ they are gone and cannot be replenished. Other common sources of energy are nuclear‚ hydro‚ and solid biomass

world’s highest efficiency solar cells are made from silicon and will enable an eco friendly vehicle to move at the same speed as the one that is using fuel. This will not only save on fuel costs but curtails pollution as well. (McKenna‚ 150-160) Discourse It’s prudent that manufacturers of motor sport vehicles come up with models that have a fuel economy of 30% or below to ensure that we live in a cleaner environment as we try to solve a problem that is already with us.

the cars so that they use energy more efficiently‚ and pollute less. This could be done by using hydrogen as a fuel"(page 1) In 1839‚ English inventor Sir William Grove reasoned from his experiments that it was possible for water to be split up into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity. In 1859‚ Ludwig Mond and Charles Langer attempted to make a fuel cell. In 1959‚ NASA selected fuel cells as the power generator of choice for its first manned space mission. It was selected instead of batteries

biomass. This cultivation of crops for fuel might just put a little to much strain on our limited resources such as water and land which could be used for food crops. This biomass energy also just not economical to produce‚ grow and transport biomass. This is especially true when the source of biomass is not too close to the area of processing or the methods used to process it are wasteful. This energy have a very lower fuel economy than normal fossil fuels so that it not be able to generate enough

example in the UK‚ as gas imports will rise in the future‚ the government has imposed a policy of trying to encourage the development of remaining reserves in the North Sea. Mali however is a land locked country situated in Africa which has no fossil fuel resources‚ so the policies are going to be vastly different to the UK in terms of the production and consumption of energy. Economic development sees the increase in GDP over time which means an increase in energy consumption in that country. India

These gases are the main cause of global warming. Through statistics‚ it is shown that the large-scale CO2 emissions to the atmosphere are worsening day by day‚ so putting the earth on the verge of a massive global climate change chiefly portrayed by the global warming.

one by burning fuel. In combustion engines the combustion (explosion of fuel) occurs at combustion chamber with ‚ generally‚ help of oxidizer (air‚ another fluid‚ etc.). The output‚ high heat and pressure of the burning process is transfered to other components of the engines which expose pressure as a mechanical energy. Some of these parts can be examplified as turbines‚ nozzles‚ pistons (Britannica‚ 2012). These two types of engines basically differs in the way of burning the fuel and production
