Starting in the late 1700’s‚ European engineers began tinkering with motor powered vehicles. Steam‚ combustion‚ and electrical motors had all been attempted by the mid 1800’s. By the 1900’s‚ it was uncertain which type of engine would power the automobile. At first‚ the electric car was the most popular‚ but at the time a battery did not exist that would allow a car to move with much speed or over a long distance. Even though some of the earlier speed records were set by electric cars‚ they did not

What is air pollution? - Air pollution is the contamination of the air with impurities. These include smokes‚ dust and soot from forest fires and the burning of garbage’s. Internal combustion engines using gasoline emit carbon monoxide‚ lead and particulates into the atmosphere. Pictures of air pollution What cause air pollution- * Burning of garbage’s * Using gasoline emit carbon monoxides * sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxide * sugarcane factories at time emit black polluted

happen? RESEARCH Gasoline is obtained from petroleum in oil refineries‚ and used as fuel in combustion engines. It is made of over 250 types of hydrocarbons. Aromatic hydrocarbons like toluene and benzene are used to increase the octane rating of gasoline. Other additives are also added to improve engine performance and reduce the emission of harmful gasses formed as byproducts of the combustion process. Some hydrocarbons found in gasoline like benzene are carcinogenic. These hydrocarbons escape

America went from the horses pulling wagons to steam power railroad to automobiles and electric power in a very short time. Communications by telephone‚ the invention of the typewriter‚ the widespread use of electricity‚ the development of the internal combustion engine‚ all propelled the nation rapidly into a brave new world. To start off with‚ most people at that time believed the automobile would never replace a horse because it has been dependable for hundreds of years‚ but in the early 1900s improvements

The performance‚ styling‚ comfort and cooling of an Electric Vehicle (EV) is different from most Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles as they are more energy efficient and the way electric vehicle gets its energy are dissimilar to ICE vehicle. In addition‚ the mass use of such vehicle is relatively new and is not as matured as ICE vehicle. The study of aerodynamics

While wood has always served as a fuel source for fires and ovens and conventional heating methods‚ biomass energy advancements are a few steps beyond that. Now these biomass fuel products are harvested and mass-produced and used in everything from engines to power plants. 1. No Harmful Emissions : Biomass energy‚ for the most part‚ creates no harmful carbon dioxide emissions. Many energy sources used today struggle to control their carbon dioxide emissions‚ as these can cause harm to the ozone layer

consistently earned high ratings for safety. (Motavalli). Electric cars don’t always run on gas which makes them safer to drive. During a wreck there is a less chance of them exploding or starting to get on fire. On the other hand vehicles with combustions engines have a high exploding rate. They carry fuel which makes them very explosive. If the fuel tank busts open and theres a spark‚ then most likely the car is going to get caught on fire. Electric cars are known to be safe‚ but at the same time they

THERMOELECTRIC POWERED CAR 1. AIM OF THE PROJECT This concept behind the project is thermoelectric generation that has been known from sometime‚ but the practical implementation of this concept is quite difficult. The idea behind this project is to make a Car that is powered by thermoelectric source‚ i.e. to build a car that moves with temperature difference. This concept has not been explored earlier but a lot of research can be done in this regard. We will be presenting a practically running

The Argument for Electrical‚ Self-Driving Vehicles First people traveled by foot‚ then by horse‚ then the first automobile was invented over a century ago‚ which included a variation of the combustion engine that the majority of people still use today. The next major evolution in transportation is fast approaching with the invention of electrical‚ self-driving vehicles. In the last few years‚ Google has begun testing driver-less cars on the open road and recently Elon Musk of Tesla announced a software
