constructed from parallel rails of timber on which ran horse-drawn carts. This development was all due to steam engines. They were one of the many innovations of the Industrial Revolution and allowed boats and trains to run on steam. A major component of the steam engine was coal. Coal was used to create the steam for the steam engine and was a very important source of fuel. It helped power the engines. This would later lead to the establishment of the railroad. Many countries developed these in the Industrial

But this reaction also produces harmful burnt gases that contribute significantly to air pollution.

Increases on gasoline prices definitely affect the consumer in different aspects. Public transportation is one of the most obvious services that will be affected with sky high gasoline prices. Cab drivers and transit centers will increase their rates and consumers might still feel that it is cheaper to ride the bus then to drive their own vehicle. People will try to leave their SUVs at home or even try to get rid of them. Economical cars will be in higher demand then those with big engines. Therefore

by 1974. U.S. imports of oil from the Arab countries dropped from 1.2 million barrels a day to 19‚000 barrels. The United States government was quick to respond to the embargo. A national maximum speed limit of 55 was enforced to help reduce gasoline usage. President Nixon appointed an official energy czar and created the Department of Energy in 1977. The National Energy Act of 1978‚ which was designed to discourage energy consumption and to accelerate the transition to alternative fuels‚ was

designed so that it could be run on either gasoline or pure alcohol. When asked why he wanted to run the Model T on alcohol‚ Henry Ford replied by saying‚ “It is the fuel of the future.” The use of ethanol continued through the 1920’s and 1930’s in an effort to keep a United States ethanol program alive. Although the effort was unsuccessful‚ oil supply problems in the Middle East and environmental issues and concerns on the use of lead as an octane booster in gasoline brought focus back on to ethanol in

Experiment M4 : 2 Stroke‚ 4 Stroke Diesel Engines Abstract Introduction The aim of this experiment was to explore the engines testing methods and to find how the chemical energy in the fuel is converted into power and distributed throughout the system. Six major components of the engine were studied to understand their effect on the engine. Also‚ a multi-cylinder diesel engine is tested for its efficiency. Development of efficiency of the engine has allowed the motor companies to grow very rapidly
