electric car is powered by an electric motor instead of a gasoline engine. The electric motor gets energy from a controller‚ which regulates the amount of power transmitted throughout the vehicle‚ based on the driver’s use of an accelerator pedal. The electric motors give electric cars instant torque‚ creating a strong and smooth acceleration pattern. Electric cars are about three times more efficient than cars with an internal combustion engine. A pure-battery electric car uses energy stored in the rechargeable

Honda is a Japan based company and is the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles as well as the world’s manufacturer of internal combustion engines (motor vehicles) producing more than 14 million internal combustion engines each year. Honda’s trademark had been registered in Japan since November 13‚ 1953 it was not until a decade later that the motorcycle and automobile company filed for trademark registration in the United

A schematic diagram of DLR scramjet model [7-9] is described in Fig. 1.The air enters into combustion chamber at M=2.0 whereas hydrogen fuel (H2) is injected parallel to the air stream at M =1.0. The width and height of the combustor section at the entrance is 40 mm and 50 mm respectively which is then diverged at an angle of 3ο on the upper wall of the combustor. The strut is 32 mm long and 6mm height which are located at a distance of 77 mm from the entrance. The boundary conditions of Waidmann

consumer should not only be concerned with the purchase price‚ but with the cost of repairs as well. The initial cost of gasoline powered cars is around 75% lower than a hybrid for these reasons: hybrids have very expensive batteries‚ a different engine design which complicates manufacturing‚ and they are basically mobile computers that make them difficult to repair without special training. Regardless of which type of vehicle you own‚ many people think that the initial cost of a vehicle is bad

Explanation:Piston engine balancing is a complicated subject that covers many areas in the design‚ production‚ tuning and operation. The engine considered to be well balanced in a particular usage may produce unacceptable level of vibration in another usage for the difference in driven mass and mounting

Most fuel-powered models use glow plug engines‚ small internal combustion engines fueled by a special mixture of nitromethane‚ methanol‚ and oil (in most cases a blend of castor oil and synthetic oil). These are referred to as "nitro" cars. Recently‚ exceptionally large models have been introduced that are powered by small gasoline engines‚ similar to weedwhacker motors‚ which use a mix of oil and gasoline. Electric cars are generally considered
