What else can I help you with?
What were planes powered by before jet engines?
Propeller driven piston internal combustion engines. Similar to the one in your car, except planes usually used either radial or rotary engines, both of which have the cylinders arranged in a circle and typically have a multiple of 9 cylinders.
Can jet planes go into space?
No, because there's no oxygen in space for the engines to use. The rocket motors used to go into space are supplied with combustion oxygen via the engines' plumbing.
What is oxygen used for in the present?
Breathing ;) Combustion engines
What is a combustion engine best used for?
The most popular combustion engine is the internal combustion engine. It is used most often in spark ignition engines such as cars or lawn mowers. Diesel combustion engines are generally large trucks and construction vehicles.
What type of cars use internal combustion engines?
Gasoline and Diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The fuel explodes (combusts) internally (in the cylinder) and releases energy that is used to move the vehicle. Electric engines and steam engines are not internal combustion engines by definition. Steam engines combust their fuel externally to the "engine". The vast majority of passenger vehicles produced throughout history are driven by internal combustion engines.
What is the term used for this definition the sharp metallic sound produced by the combustion of petroleum?
The term you are looking for is "knock" in relation to combustion in internal combustion engines, specifically in the context of gasoline engines.
Is flywheels are used in motorcycles?
A flywheel is used in all internal combustion engines.
Who invented the supercharge system for combustion engines?
The first supercharger for internal combustion engines was made by Dugald Clerk in 1878. It was used on a 2 stroke engine.
What is class 1 fuel?
Class 1 fuel typically refers to gasoline or petrol that is used for vehicles and other combustion engines. It is a highly flammable liquid with specific properties for efficient combustion in internal combustion engines.
In what areas of the country is gasoline used?
Gasoline or petrol is used to power most internal combustion engines, usually in vehicles, so it is used just about all over the world.
Which engine used in airplane?
Ordinary jet engines are used on aircrafts. But some planes require turbojet engines. These planes fly at more than the speed of sound. There are other type of airplane types too.
Which engine are mostly used in motor vehicle?
internal combustion piston engines
