Why do cars need petrol or diesel?
Petrol and diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The internal combustion that turns the engine and powers the wheels is created by the combustion of fuel. No fuel, no combustion, and nothing to drive the wheels.
Does internal combustion engines uses nuclear fusion?
No, the explosion of compressed gases powers internal combustion.
Who was the German scientist of an internal combustion engine that could power large vehicles?
Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel engine which now powers many large vehicles
1999 Chevy cavaler Why would water leak form the exhaust pipe?
This is normal. Water is a byproduct of the combustion reaction that powers the engine. This is normal. Water is a byproduct of the combustion reaction that powers the engine.
How does gasoline power your car?
A mixture of gasoline and air enters the cylinders where it is ignited by a spark plug. The explosion, or combustion it creates, drives the piston downward turning a crankshaft which turns the transmission which in turn powers the drive wheels on the vehicle propelling it forward or backward. This is why the engine is called an internal combustion engine.
What powers an internal combustion engine?
There are way too many answers for that question. Basically any machine that uses natural gas, diesel fuel, petrol (Gasoline-USA) and kerosene will be driven by an internal combustion. These include most road going vehicles, most earthmoving equipment, marine vessels as well as a lot of fixed plant; generators, compressors refrigeration plant etc. Some electric vehicles are driven via a generator that runs of an internal combustion engine. Diesel-electric locomotives are a classic example of this.
What powers an engine?
Converting stored energy in fuel to mechanical energy by way of combustion usually.
How does the internal combustion engine contribute to global warming?
The internal combustion engine powers vehicles by burning gasolinegasoline comes from fossil fuel, so this burning emits carbon dioxide (CO2)carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that absorbs heat rising from the warmed earthAs this carbon dioxide has been hidden underground for 300 million years, releasing it now ADDS to the CO2 levels in the atmosphere causing global warming.
Which of the following sequences describes how a four stroke engine cycle powers the engine?
Air and fuel intake, compression and ignition, combustion and expansion, exhaust
What powers a car?
...gasoline... expanding gases from combustion of gasoline or disel which is converted to rotary motion by the power train which sends it to you wheels OR PFM(pure fricken magic)which suits you best. expanding gases move alot of people expecally in small hot rooms!! what stinks!!! An internal combustion engine usually powers a car; unless it is one of the newer HYBRIDS which use several storage batteries for an alternative power supply.
Does diesel burn?
Of course diesel will burn. It is a fuel used in the internal combustion diesel engine. It burns from being compressed to a very high ratio rather than from a spark plug. Diesel fuel is manufactured along side unleaded gasoline and powers millions of vehicles worldwide.
What is the name of the explosion that powers a car?
Combustion
