seems to have a lot going for it. It combines a 1.5 litre‚ four cylinder petrol engine and a 33-kilowatt electric motor. It comfortably seats five‚ if the three in the back aren’t too tall or too big and has 0‚34 cubic meters of luggage space. The electric motor starts the car and operates at low speeds‚ using a nickel metal-hydride battery. At higher speeds‚ the Prius automatically switches to the internal combustion engine. Under normal motorway conditions‚ it should get 28 km per liter. The downside

(HEV) are more advanced which combines a conventional internal combustion engine propulsion system with an electric system. As HEV is the major focus of our hybrid revolution studying project‚ we should first take a look into the operating principle of it. In general‚ HEV combines the benefits of gasoline engines and electric motors to provide improved fuel energy. Let me explain it in a simple way‚ when you are driving a HEV‚ the gasoline engine provides most of the vehicle’s power‚ and the electric

Big block (easy power and less common). 2. Around 475 to 550HP‚ 525-600 ft/lbs torque. Nice rumble but still very street-friendly. No more power than that because I’d have no way of transferring it to the pavement with my street radials and I don’t want spend too much

exhaust system for the vehicle which is powered by a 600cc Suzuki GXR engine. The new air intake system was developed to satisfy the rules of the formula student competition which required a 20mm restriction to be placed on the air intake system. It was a requirement that all engine airflow passed through this restrictor. Implementation of the air restriction also meant that a new engine map was required for effective operation of engine. This paper looks at a number of different alternative air intake

Cars and trucks account for more than 60 percent of U.S. oil consumption and more than 25 percent of domestic carbon pollution‚ environmental statistics show. The auto industry has held on to cleaner burning fuels‚ more efficient engines and advanced battery technologies for gasoline-electric hybrids and full-electric

and a LV-T45 liquid fuel engine. After that we used three symmetry tool and placed radial decouplers as low as possible and placed AV-R8 winglets on it as low as possible as well. We used decouplers because we want it to detach on our way back and used winglets because it makes best landing‚ they are light‚ and they will not band or fall off. After that we added decoupler to the bottom of our rocket. Then we moved three radial decouplers one stage up and moved liquid engine one stage down. So if we
