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

ABSTRACT The task of designing a mechanical component with design software then reverse engineering the same component in hyper mesh was assigned to groups. The engineering component chosen by group 10 is a piston for standard automobiles. The design is then accessed and redesigned for the primary purpose of improving the product. This group 10 the principle area of improvement is the weight‚ to achieve this‚ the initial material choice for design medium carbon steel is changed to aluminium alloy

Tesla has unveiled its most affordable car‚ Model 3‚ on the last day of March at a special event. The car will go to production early next year and the deliveries will begin by the end of 2017. CEO Elon Musk has also revealed his plans to launch the Model 3 in other potential markets‚ the biggest of which is India (population wise). The following tweet by Elon Musk tweeted just before the event tells that Tesla is mostly targeting Asia Pacific‚ South America and Africa‚ countries where the affordable

As one of the safest forms of energy‚ according to the American Gas Association‚ natural gas contributes to one fourth of the nation’s energy. 2. The first internal combustion engine vehicle to run on natural gas was designed by Etienne Lenoir in 1860. 3. Natural gas vehicles are powered by compressed/liquefied natural gas. 4. It can help to produce considerably lower amounts of harmful releases compared to gasoline

hitting the roads every year‚ it becomes increasingly more important to consider our environment and the impacts we make. Air pollution in the United States comes from many types of engines‚ industries‚ and commercial operations. Pollution sources that move are known as "mobile sources." These sources include vehicles‚ engines‚ and motorized equipment that produce exhaust and evaporative emissions (Office of Transportation and Air Quality‚ 2012). The major concern about air pollution is global warming
