What else can I help you with?
Why do you get fewer miles per gallon from a gallon of ethanol than from a gallon of gasoline?
Gasoline enriched with ethanol contains more oxygen - so it burns cleaner and much faster than regular gasoline. Which means it increase the power of your car.
Can a car be run on hydrogen gas?
There are a couple ways you could run a car on hydrogen. First is to just burn the hydrogen, but you would need a LOT of hydrogen to power a car--about 2 cubic feet of it at 3000 psi (which is the pressure in a tank from a welding shop) per each gallon of gasoline you don't want to use. The other is to make an electric car with a hydrogen-powered fuel cell.
How much does a barrel of oil power?
A single 42-gallon barrel of crude oil is refined into about 19.6 gallons of gasoline.
How many liters in one Metric ton of gasoline?
10 to the power 8
How much did gas cost in 1975?
The average price of gas in 1975 was $0.567 per gallon
Is there more power in petrol engine than diesel engine?
There is more energy in one gallon of diesel than one gallon of gasoline. To elaborate, the word "petrol" is defined in different ways in different places..... but if you have two internal combustion engines of the same displacement the diesel will produce more power than the gasoline engine, especially in 'torque' measurement
How come you can you use all of the energy in a gallon of gasoline?
Not all of the energy in a gallon of gasoline can be used because a significant portion is lost as waste heat during combustion in an engine. Only about 20-30% of the energy from gasoline is actually converted into useful mechanical work to power a vehicle, with the rest being dissipated as heat.
Do cars blow up?
Depends on what's inside. Normal car with only gasoline for fuel: no. Gasoline must be vaporized to explode. Otherwise it just burns slowly at the surface. Hydrogen power car with full hydrogen tank: yes. Car with dynamite in the trunk: yes. Cars in movies: yes.
What can power a car besides gasoline?
Alcohol, (bio)diesel, hydrogen, kerosene, methane (LNG), nitromethane, propane & LPG, water... that's all that came to mind, though I wouldn't try burning any of these in my gasoline engine.
Does the President of The United States of America have the executive power to reduce gasoline to 2 a gallon?
No, since executive orders can only be used to clarify or further an existing law made by congress.
What are some of the benefits of using hydrogen to power cars?
Before I list the advantages and disadvantages, it is important to note that Hydrogen is simply a medium with which to store energy, it is NOT an energy source, such as wood, gasoline, or atomic energy. The reason for this, is that Hydrogen does not exist in nature in large quantities, except in molecular compounds of one form or another... thus, to get Hydrogen, you must first extract the Hydrogen atoms from another molecular compound, such as water (Which contains Hydrogen and Oxygen) or even from Gasoline (which contains Hydrogen, Carbon, and Oxygen). In fact, a gallon of gasoline even contains more Hydrogen than a gallon of Liquid Hydrogen. Thus, it requires us to spend energy to create hydrogen to use in a fuel cell or combustion engine, unlike naturally occurring fuel sources like Wood, which grow/form on their own and only require us to release the energy through burning it (or splitting the atom like in Nuclear Fission). Gasoline is considered a fuel source because even though it needs to be refined, the energy it provides is greater than the energy it takes to refine it. The same is not true for Hydrogen. Some of the advantages of Hydrogen: -It no longer requires us to be reliant on Gasoline as an energy source. -It burns MUCH cleaner than other fuels, since it's only by-product is water. -In Fuel Cell use, it requires no combustion, which means fewer moving parts that can break in the engine. -It is in a small list of fuels which are: widely available, stable enough to be transported safely, and has a sufficient energy density so the fuel tank does not need to be larger than the rest of the vehicle. -Hydrogen can be created wherever it is needed, so you will no longer need to "Ship" it from the refinery to the gas station. Gas stations could simply have their own generators on-site, allowing them to ship stable liquids like water to extract the Hydrogen from. Some of the dis-advantages of Hydrogen: -It takes more power to create it than it generates, so the power needs to come from somewhere else, which can be hydroelectric, coal, solar, geothermal, etc. -Its energy density is significantly lower than gasoline, so you need a larger fuel tank to generate the same amount of power. -Much like gasoline, it is flammable, but can be explosive if mixed with enough oxygen, so the fuel tank must be protected extremely well. -The fuel infrastructure in most countries is not set up for Hydrogen, so gasoline stations would need to be converted in large numbers, quickly.
