What is weight of locomotive engine?
The weight of a locomotive engine can vary depending on its type and size. On average, a diesel locomotive engine can weigh between 100,000 to 200,000 pounds (45,000 to 90,000 kilograms), while a steam locomotive engine can weigh even more, up to 400,000 pounds (180,000 kilograms) or more.
Are steam train engines better than diesel train engines?
The word "train" is superfluous there. Not sure what you mean by "better", but from a purely engineering perspective the diesel is much more efficient, i.e. it uses a lot less fuel to generate a given power output. Although the steam locomotive has very different torque characteristics it is not as powerful as an equivalent-service diesel locomotive. The diesel can also be turned off at the end of the run. A steam locomotive burns coal or oil all the time it is ready for service, and needs two "fuels": the fuel itself and prodigious amounts of clean water. Operationally, the steam locomotive is labour-intensive and however much we may romanticise the machine, much of that labour is heavy, grubby and unpleasant. It takes two skilled men to operate it, plus a team of shed-men on preparation, disposal, cleaning & maintenance. The diesel loco needs only one man (or woman) in the cab - a nice, comfy, clean cab at that - and far fewer "support staff". Both types are polluting, though that from a well-maintained steam locomotive in the hands of a good fireman and driver, and running properly on good-quality coal, is fairly low. It can present a fire hazard in some situations though. The bigger problem is when a steam locomotive is fired up from cold, since the natural draught in its chimney is too low to allow proper combustion so it emits a lot of mucky, sulphurous smoke. Where the steam locomotive does score over the diesel or electric is its comparative simplicity that means if it breaks down in service, it may be possible to nurse it to the nearest suitable station whereas the diesel loco is stuck. There is also a political point that the steam locomotive's fuel comes from potentially problematical sources whereas coal is more widely available.
How do you build a diesel hovercar?
well you need a powerful diesel engine to make the air to hover. and the rest YOU need to come up with. a V8 turbo diesel or a V10 turbo diesel should be more than enough.
What is the current status of the worlds technology?
Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to reach new heights in a single bound.
WHAT is more powerful steam engine or diesel engine?
The diesel engine is generally more powerful than a steam engine, primarily due to its higher thermal efficiency and ability to generate greater torque. Diesel engines can deliver more power in a smaller and lighter package, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from vehicles to heavy machinery. While steam engines can produce significant power, they are often less efficient and require more maintenance due to their complexity and reliance on water and fuel sources. Overall, diesel engines are more versatile and powerful for modern use.
How can you make a boring sentence into a compelling and interesting sentence?
To make a boring sentence more interesting, add descriptive adjectives to the subject or other nouns, and use a verb that conveys a specific meaning. Example : "The bum was hit by a train." Example : "The unfortunate homeless itinerant was cruelly crushed beneath the grinding wheels of the powerful diesel locomotive."
Why does it take such a long time to jump start a diesel?
Diesel engines have such a high engine compression ratio, they require a more powerful starter, which in turn requires more battery power. That is why diesels have two batteries.
What was the name of the first locomotive in space?
its a union station cargo locomotive drive by greive no more
Which is more powerful petrol or diesel engine?
Normally Diesel engines produce more torque than gasoline engines but less horsepower. Gasoline engines rev up quicker and produce higher horsepower at higher rpms. Diesel engines develop their higher torque at lower rpms which allows a diesel to carry a heavier load.
How does the locomotive work?
I assume you're referring to a diesel-electric locomotive. It's basically the same as your every day car engine, except your car might have 4 cylinders the size of the width of your hand, while in a locomotive has 16 cylinders the size of the width of both your hands together. So this is what happens: Fuel is injected into the engine the same way as your car. As energy is produced it goes to the traction motors located in the trucks (wheel base). The traction motors then turn the diesel power into electric power, hence the name "diesel-electric." The electric energy then turns the wheels. The throttle is the same thing as the gas pedal on your car. The throttle is marked with 8 notches and the higher the notch, the more power is put into the wheels. I hope this answered your question!
What is the use of diesel?
Diesel is used in powerful jobs such as towing. When more power is needed, diesel performs just as regular gasoline does, but has a bigger payload. An average car can only pull so many pounds, but with diesel in the car instead of premium gas, it can pull more. Diesel is also used in the trucking business, where heavy loads are put onto big rigs, and diesel is the only reliable source of gasoline available for the tough job.
