An engines horsepower‚ in its most condensed definition‚ refers to the amount of horses it would take to perform the same function. At mankind’s present level of dependence on technology such a concept seems absurd‚ but at the beginning of the 17th century the literal equation of horsepower was used daily‚ especially in industry. With wind or water as the only alternative power sources‚ the use of load bearing beasts was inevitable. Wind is inconsistent and unreliable‚ whereas water was only plausible

This is a Newspaper on Steam engines. The Watt steam engine (alternatively known as the Boulton and Watt steam engine) was the first type of steam engine to make use of steam the new design replaced Newcomen engines in areas where coal was expensive‚ and then went on to be used in the place of most natural power sources such as wind and water. A Scottish instrument maker‚ James Watt‚ was given the job in 1763 of repairing a model Newcomen engine for the University of Glasgow‚ and noted how inefficient

Introduction to Engine Performance – Study Guide ©2005 Melior‚ Inc. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction The engine is the power plant of a vehicle. Automotive engines have gone through tremendous changes since the automobile was first introduced in the 1880s‚ but all combustion engines still have three requirements that must be met to do their job of providing power – air‚ fuel‚ and ignition. The mixture of air and fuel must be compressed

Applied Science Research 12th Grade 10/21/07 Stirling Engine Brandon Risberg Abstract: This paper includes a historical overview of the Stirling engine. It also includes an overview of the mechanics of a Stirling engine‚ and the results of the author’s project to build a Stirling engine. Although this engine did not work‚ this paper includes ways to improve in future projects. History: The original Stirling engine was designed and developed by Reverend Dr Robert Stirling [1]‚ a fantastic engineer

Rotary Engine – Huge Power in a Small Box According to Philip’s Encyclopedia Wankel rotary engine or just Wankel engine is “Internal combustion engine with rotors instead of pistons.” That not so popular engine is actually about two times lighter than a four cylinder piston engine‚ the one that we all have in our cars‚ for the same power output. It also has four times less moving parts. Much simpler‚ much lighter‚ much smaller it has numerous advantages over a conventional piston engine.

Green Engine seminar report.DOC (Size: 107 KB / Downloads: 3197) ABSTRACT The green engine is one of the most interesting discoveries of the new millennium. It has got some unique features that were used for the first time in the making of engines. This engine is a piston less one with features like sequential variable compression ratio‚ direct air intake‚ direct fuel injection‚ multi-fuel usage etc. The efficiency of this engine is high when compared to the contemporary engines and also the exhaust

Turboprop engines Turboprop engines are a type of aircraft powerplant that use a gas turbine to drive a propeller. The gas turbine is designed specifically for this application‚ with almost all of its output being used to drive the propeller. The engine’s exhaust gases contain little energy compared to a jet engine and play a minor role in the propulsion of the aircraft. The propeller is coupled to the turbine through a reduction gear that converts the high RPM‚ low torque output to low RPM‚

systems P1) Oil - Vegetable Oil Vegetable oils are a triglyceride that is extracted from agricultural crops‚ these oils are natural products and therefore their chemical composition changes from one crop to another. They are used in engines and chainsaws as a lubricant instead of petroleum based oils. Canola Oil – made from rapeseed – is an example of a vegetable oil‚ it is cleaner than petroleum based oils and has less health risks as petroleum oils are commonly carcinogens and can
