Gallons of Light Through time‚ people are bettering the eco-friendly lifestyle. By recycling‚ using less fossil fuels‚ annual smog checks‚ and converting solar energy into electricity. We are single-handedly helping life for future generations‚ through conscious decisions. Tesla is an incomparable example of a lifestyle to follow. I chose this Tesla Model S commercial because they convey to their audience that they are creating their vehicles with‚ not only innovation‚ but fuel or should I

means money. Diesel engines have been around for a long time now. This job field covers several different kinds of jobs such as truck mechanics and repair and maintenance. A Diesel engine is an engine that starts itself by compression. These engines first started in America. The first diesel engine was invented in 1892. In 1930 they started putting the diesel motors in vehicles. During the Post War Boom‚ construction started forming the highway system in 1956. Diesel engines became commercial

people involved with the events. The narrative begins to unfold with a brief history of the first electric cars created in the early twentieth century. These electric vehicles were killed off nearly 100 years ago as gas/petroleum powered internal combustion engine (ICE) cars became cheaper. The worsening problems of gas/petrol cars are illustrated: smog‚ high child asthma rates‚ CO2 emissions and global warming. [Later we also see the use of the US Military in the Middle East. The loss of life and

Octane rating is the measure of how resistant is gasoline and other fuels in the combustion engines to automatic ignition. It is the measure of a fuel’s burning characteristics. It is a standard measure of the performance of a motor or aviation fuel‚ the higher the octane number‚ the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating. In broad terms‚ fuels with a higher octane rating are used in high-compression engines that generally have higher performance. Fuels with higher octane ratings tend

ASSIGNMENT 1 GIVEN: 27/02/2015 DUE DATE: 16/03/2015 ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS Q1. A two-stroke‚ four cylinder Diesel engine operates on an ideal Diesel cycle. The engine has a capacity of 2.5 L‚ compression ratio of 18 and cutoff ratio of 2.2. At the beginning of the compression process‚ the is at 50°C and 100 kPa. Using the cold-air standard assumptions‚ determine how much power the engine will deliver at 3000 rpm. Q2. The net output of a steam power plant is 120 MW. The plant operates on on an ideal

transportation is ran on oil based fuels. How much longer can we consume the resource until we run out of it? If someday we run out of oil‚ I think that the world should be prepared! Gasoline is a petroleum-delivered liquid that is used in internal combustion engines which are used in almost every type of transportation. Over the years‚ the consumption of gasoline is increasing‚ while the sources are exhausting. Many geologists propose that most of the sources of oil on Earth have reached so-called “peak

Hybrid cars are designed on running on both an electric motor and an internal combustion system‚ and Electric cars run entirely on electricity without having an internal combustion system. In fact‚ both of these cars contain a rechargeable battery that can be charged externally‚ which helps in reducing the usage of gasoline which can diminish air pollution and save the environment. For example‚ a recent study by Experian Automotive reports that 40% more hybrid cars were sold in the U.S. in 2012 than

The drive system featured in the BMW Concept 5 Series ActiveHybrid consists of a straight-six gasoline engine with TwinPower Turbo technology‚ eight-speed automatic transmission‚ and an electrical drive system developed specifically for this model fitted between the engine and transmission. An automatic clutch connects the gasoline engine and the electric motors. Drawing its energy from a high-voltage battery at the back of the car‚ the electric motor develops maximum

Case Memo: Plugging In" the Consumer: The Adoption of Electrically Powered Vehicles in the U.S. Date: 08-31-2013 The non-internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles consists of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV)‚ plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV)‚ single-fuel all electric vehicles (EV)‚ and fuel cell vehicles (FCV). Earlier attempts at non-ICE vehicles were faced with many challenges resulting in abandonment of research and development. General Motors (GM) discontinued the EV1 electric vehicle
