What else can I help you with?
How does fair isle get its electricity?
wind turbines and diesel engines
Is all electricity made in the same way?
No, it can be made by rotating machines or by solar panels. Rotating machines can be driven by engines or by the wind. Engines can be water turbines (hydroelectric), steam turbines (coal/oil), gas turbines or petrol or diesel.
Why are diesel engines loud?
Diesel engines detonate. Diesel has more potential energy than gasoline, instead of burning evenly, diesel explodes creating a knock or rattle noise.
What machine turns a generator to make electricity?
Anything, including a person or a machine, that can turn a generator will cause the generator to make electricity. Most commonly generators are turned by water turbines, wind turbines, gasoline or petrol engines, diesel engines or steam engines.
What is the evolution from steam engines?
Steam engines (trains) evolved in to diesel and then electric. Steam engines like beam engines gave way to massive turbines many fueled by electric and other fossil fuel
What was invented on 1912?
theory of the propeller, compressors for combustion engines, rocket engines, Kaplan turbines, chrome-nickel steel, trans-oceanic ship with a diesel engine
Is diesel engine a continuous combustion engine or intermittent combustion engine?
Type of combustion is determined by the engine, not the fuel. Intermittent or reciprocating engines such as those found in cars and trucks can run on diesel. Gas turbines AKA jet engines can also run on diesel however they are continuous combustion engines. The answer to your question depends on the type of engine you have in mind. If it has pistons then it will be intermittent.
What is the difference in how a normal car engine and a diesel car engine in how they work?
diesel engines compress the fuel mixture much more than gasoline engines, diesel engines are always fuel injected while gasoline engines have the option of being carbureted, diesel engines usually cost more, diesels produce more power than a comparable gasoline engine, diesel engines have no distributor or spark system, and instead use glow plugs to ignite fuel, and diesel engines can be converted to run on vegetable oil with few modifications.
What is the most common use for borescopes?
Borescopes are instruments used to inspect visually area which can not be accessed by other means. They are commonly used to visually inspect aircraft engines, steam turbines, diesel engines, etc
Do wind turbines need diesel?
No
Does diesel engines run on diesel fuel or gasoline fuel?
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Why cant you use jp-8 in piston aircraft?
JP-8 is kerosene based. It is designed as a jet fuel; it can also be used in gas-turbines or in diesel engines, although it has caused some problems in diesel engines. It can't be used in gasoline engines because it is not sufficiently volatile. Diesel engines work by using very high compression ratios. To withstand these high compression ratios diesel engines need to be much more strongly built than gas engines; this makes them too heavy to be used in aircraft. There are a few piston aircraft engines that are available that will use this fuel. My avionics company has a diesel cessna. It has a service ceiling of 15K feet and gets there real fast.
