Combustion Chamber Spark Plug
856 wordsEngines are found all around our very day lives. They are found in our cars, trucks, vans and motorcycles. Almost all vehicles run on the basic combustion engine. An internal- combustion engine is any type of machine that gets mechanical energy from the expenditure of the chemical energy of fuel burned in a combustion chamber. There are four main types of internal- combustion engines, they are: the Otto - cycle engine, the diesel engine, the rotary engine and the gas turbine. The Otto-cycle engi...

Diesel Fuel Henry Ford
1,108 wordsIn my research paper I am going to tell you how the first automobile and the evolution of the automobile helped the United States be able to expand as rapidly as it did with the help of the automobile and its many uses. With the invention of the automobile came a new sense of freedom. The automobile has been a force that has helped to set the course for the future. In the year 1903 a man named Henry Ford invented the first gas powered combustion engine. With this new engine he was able to constr...

Fuel Economy Commonly Referred
1,489 wordsThe idea of forced air induction by turbine, or turbo, is not new and has it's mass production roots in WWII fighter planes. What is new, however, is its application to passenger automobiles. Unlike a near constant high RPM fighter engine, an automobile requires wide-open throttle (WOT) power availability throughout its entire operating range. Previous automotive turbo applications acted like an on-off power switch with a five second delay, decreasing drivability, rather than providing the smoot...

Steam Engine James Watt
1,257 wordsJames Watt was born 19 th January 1736 at Greenock and at this time no one would have even imagined his effect on the Industrial Revolution that was to occur within that century. When James was fifteen he had read books about and become accustomed to Philosophy (similar to modern physics). He had also completed many of his own chemical experiments and even started produce and construct his own products such as a small electronic device that startled his companions. He soon became interested in a...

Combustion Engine Internal Combustion
561 wordsIn the past decade there has been a great deal of worrying about what will happen when the worlds oil supply becomes depleted. The main reason for concern is that almost all of the automobiles in use now require an oil based gasoline to run their internal-combustion engines. In the next few decades it is predicted that all of the worlds oil will have already been mined, and combustion engines will be unable to function. For this reason many companies such as Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler, Toyota...

One of those modes is know as hybrid power. A vehicle is considered a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. For example, a mo-ped (a motorized pedal bike) is a type of hybrid because it combines the pow...

Bypass Ratio Engines Low Bypass Ratio Engines Turbine
1,043 wordsThe idea of utilizing the physical principle of reaction on a large scale by means of rockets is usually attributed to China in the thirteenth century. Not until after the Second World War, however, did rocket technology mature to a state which made the idea of space travel a practical possibility, owing largely to a giant step forward during the war itself. Although earliest models of the steam turbine date back as early as the 17 th century, practical applications of the turbine engine had to ...

Amount Of Energy Combustion Chamber
984 words... s, but is also employed in auxiliary power units to provide power for aircraft ground operation. The compressor of a turbo shaft engine first raises the pressure of the incoming air, which is then guided into the combustion chamber. After being mixed with vaporized fuel and burned, the hot gas expands completely through two separate turbines. The first turbine drives the compressor; the second delivers horsepower to drive the helicopter rotor. The gas is finally released through an exhaust d...

One Of The First Electric Vehicles
2,512 wordsHybrid-Electric Vehicle Through the early period of the automotive industry until about 1920, electric automobiles were competitive with petroleum-fueled cars particularly as luxury cars for urban use and as trucks for deliveries at closely related points, for which the relatively low speed and limited range, until battery recharge, were not detrimental. Electrics, many of which were steered with a tiller rather than a wheel, were especially popular for their quietness and low maintenance costs....
