correct amount of fuel to the engine according to the air that is forced through the engine by atmospheric pressure. The initial cost of a carburetor engine is almost five times cheaper than an electronic fuel injected one‚ although maintenance costs could perhaps set one back a bit. The clear advantage of a carburetor engine is that it is not restricted by how much gas is pumped from the fuel tank. This means that any modifications to the cam in an attempt to make the engine "breathe better" will allow

cars or high-performance sports cars‚ the topic of turbochargers usually comes up. Turbochargers also appear on large diesel engines. A turbo can significantly boost an engine’s horsepower without significantly increasing its weight‚ which is the huge benefit that makes turbochargers so popular. A turbo basically makes your car go faster by forcing compressed air into the engine. It’s a type of force induction system; it forces more air into the cylinder which means more fuel can be added in which results

with a bit of automotive history that establishes the electric car as a competitive alternative to the internal combustion engine‚ Who Killed the Electric Car? takes the viewer back to the beginning of the twentieth century and the dawn of the automotive age. A straightforward explanation of why gasoline beats out electricity as the fuel of choice and how the internal combustion engine wins dominance concludes the broad overview. The film then moves to the recent past with the introduction

The hot Georgia sun beats down on hundreds of feet of brown wet mud. “BBBRRRRAAAAAAPPPPP” a huge diesel truck revs it’s engine and shoots forward into a 7 feet deep pit of mud. Mud is flying everywhere‚ black smoke pours out of a huge stack in the bed of the truck. This is rolling coal at its finest. Some say that ‘rolling coal’ is bad for the environment because of the black carbon smoke. Rolling coal has been around basically since the beginning of automobiles‚ and it has become synonymous with

Introduction: The narrower environmental restrictions are the current challenge that Diesel engine manufacturers are facing in the last years. The demand on cleaner emissions (both for NOx and soot)‚ the fuel consumption reduction and the customer claim for improved engine performance are variables that should

cell produces electricity that powers an electric motor and other devices in the vehicle--just like the battery-driven electric vehicles already on the market. These don’t produce any emissions at all. So far‚ so good. No complicated reciprocating engines‚ no noise‚ no smog‚ minimal maintenance‚ no global warming. However‚ when considering a vehicle its entire energy cycle has to be kept in the picture. All electric vehicles have an energy demand; that energy has to be produced somewhere. For the

to wait around a long time and by the time it heated up you could have walked to the place you wanted to go. The inventors solved that problem‚ but many others remained. The steam engines had to be small to be practical for cars‚ so they had to be high pressured engines to produce the required power. However‚ such engines cost much to build and maintain. Numerous attempts in the United Kingdom to promote the use and development of steam cars failed because of the competition from railroad and stagecoach

AIRCRAFT PISTON ENGINE EMISSIONS SUMMARY REPORT Purpose of this paper: This paper aims to inform interested parties about the development of aircraft piston engine emission factors. These have been measured and are provided by Swiss FOCA for the primary purpose of emission inventory calculations. Furthermore‚ FOCA presents findings about emissions performance and in-flight operation of aircraft piston engines and recommendations for emissions reduction. 33-05-003 Piston Engine Emissions_Swiss
