Air Powered Car A compressed air car is a car that uses a motor powered by compressed air. The car can be powered solely by air‚ or combined (as in a hybrid electric vehicle) with gasoline‚ diesel‚ ethanol‚ or an electric plant with regenerative braking. History Compressed air has been used since the 19th century to power mine locomotives and trams in cities such as Paris (via a central‚ city-level‚ compressed air energy distribution system)‚ and was previously the basis of naval torpedo propulsion

Balloon Car Experiment Newton’s First Law of Motion states that when an object is set in motion‚ it will remain in motion until acted on by an outside force. Theoretically‚ this could mean you could travel at the same speed forever in one direction‚ right? The reason we don’t see this happen is because of friction. The force of friction is the resistance to motion that is in the opposite direction of the traveling object. This is why if you roll a ball on the ground it eventually stops. Friction

done since its launch in 1964. Stylist Dennis Adams’ genius was in creating a car that resembled a schoolboy’s fantasy doodle on an exercise book but then making it real. A hit with the ‘in crowd’ in the 1960s and early ’70s – film director Sam Wanamaker had one‚ as did Rod Stewart and many other celebs – it’s always appealed to people who want to be seen in something different. But‚ crucially‚ it is also a true driver’s car‚ one that evolved from the race track. The basic design endured for more than

Electrical Cars are the future Today electrical cars are becoming more and more popular‚ and we are not just talking about the bumper cars one would see at the fair. No‚ the electrical cars are slowly but securely making a more prominent appearance in today’s driving society. Their engine is quieter‚ the air it emits is fresher‚ and it is more convenient than a regular car. In short‚ electrical cars are the future of driving. From an environmental point of view‚ electrical cars do seem

Solar Powered Cars By SolarCars on October 25‚ 2009 Cars that run on fossil fuels are still standard‚ but many would like to replace those diesel or gas engines with alternative fuels. One promising possibility is to develop solar powered cars. Although this is not yet a reality‚ prototypes have been built and proven to be functional and now many researchers are trying to find ways of using solar energy to power cars. Solar powered cars would have many advantages over those that run on fossil

Surviving a Car Crash Extra Credit By: Natalie Weston In order to maximize the chance of survival during a collision‚ many automobile-safety features have been implemented over the past few years. Pliable sheet metal and frame structures that crumple during impact are just one of the various safety precautions taken. Because when an object stops‚ or is stopped by a collision‚ the same change in momentum occurs no matter the size of the force or the time interval‚ these sheets of metal are critical

could be a possible outcome due to the fact that over the years‚ thousands of cars have been manufactured and most of them run and depend on fossil fuels. Today these fossil fuels are potentially in danger of running out due to the use of them in the vehicles we travel in every day. Currently cars such as hybrids are being manufactured and are being brought to attention so this problem will be less likely to occur. Hybrid cars are able to run on electricity and if the battery runs out of electricity

The advantages of hybrid cars Hybrid car is mainly focusing on green energy that obviously can offer a lot of advantages for us. The advantages of hybrid car itself begin right from its distinction in the model compared to other models. Two energy sources are used for the hybrid car movement as it has two engines that are working under one hood. They are the electric motor and the gasoline engine. These two engines can help in saving the usage of gas as it can save as much as 30

The electric car is a vehicle that uses electric power and there are many applications to design and one of these applications is replacing the original engine of the car and put an electric motor position is the easiest way to switch from oil to electricity while maintaining the other components of the car and is provided with the power required by batteries storage power. The design of the electric car is based on an electric motor‚ an electric control system‚ and a powerful battery can be recharged
