Nothing "creates" energy. The chemical energy in gasoline can be converted

to electrical energy by burning the gasoline in an internal combustion engine

that's connected to a generator.

Which cars run on electricity and gas?

All gasoline cars run on both - electricity is required to create the spark which ignites the fuel/air mixture.


Can energy be lost?

No when energy goes away it is only being changed into matter. EX: gasoline can be used to create certain gases and electricity. Energy is being created from matter. Then the electricity is used to give power to a lamp. The electricity is being converted into heat and light energy. _____________________________________________________________ false, the burning of gasoline (or any combustible material) does not create electricty. And matter is NOT transformed into energy a high school physics class can clear that up


Why is static electricity a problem when pumping gas?

Static electricity can build up as a result of the friction between the flowing gasoline and the materials it comes into contact with during the pumping process. If the static charge is not dissipated safely, it can potentially create a spark when you touch the gas pump nozzle or your car, leading to a fire hazard due to the flammable nature of gasoline vapors.

How can gasoline generate electricity?

There are two main ways that gasoline can be used to generate electricity: through a generator, or through a fuel cell. The first method is by far the most common. In a gasoline generator, the gas is fed into an internal combustion engine, which turns a generator to create electricity. This method is very inefficient due to the number of times that the energy changes forms (from chemical, to heat, to mechanical, to electrical) the engine itself only converts 25-30% of the chemical energy into mechanical energy. Unfortunately, gasoline fuel cell technology hasn't quite gotten out of the R & D phase, but the idea is to split the gasoline molecules' hydrogen atoms off and guide them across a membrane to the oxygen where they combine to form water. Electricity is produced in this reaction when hydrogen is forced to give up its electron in order to cross the membrane. Viola, electricity. Fuel cells are extremely efficient ranging from converting 75% of the chemical energy into electricity to 95%. Part of this is due to the fact that fuel cells convert the chemical energy of gasoline immediately into electricity. This also reduces the energy lost due to heat in the combustion process.
