Diesel Engines Diesel engines are everywhere; they are used in all sorts of vehicle platforms. From Volkswagen Jetta’s‚ to big eighteen wheel tractor trailer trucks. They provide more torque then a regular gasoline engine because of the long stroke of the piston. Most diesel engines make peak torque at very low rpm. Diesel engines do not have spark plugs. They develop combustion by heating up the air going into the cylinder‚ while the air is heated the fuel injector sprays into the bowl of

The Steam Engine The Genesis of the Steam Engine In the eighteenth century‚ people began to harness new resources to use to help with farm-ing. An English military engineer‚ Thomas Sav-ery‚ invented a water pump for mines. It later evolved into a coal-powered steam engine developed by Thomas Newcomen. Another man‚ James Watt‚ later improved Newcomen’s invention in 1764. The steam engine was the doorway to powering locomotives and steamships. Savery’s invent-tion‚ the water pump‚ was also known

The Diesel Engine Diesel engines are very similar to the gasoline engine you may find in a car. They both are internal combustion engines‚ have a four stroke cycle‚ and convert chemical energy from fuel into mechanical energy. However‚ the manner in which the combustion stroke is attained sets these two engines apart‚ and although a seemingly meaningless change‚ a large change in efficiency results. (Diesel Engines vs. Gasoline Engines) The diesel engine was invented by Rudolf Diesel in 1892

In The Belief Engine‚ James Alcock introduces two interesting components in our internal belief engine‚ the Critical-Thinking Unit‚ and the Memory Unit. These two corresponding items work hand and hand to help logical thinkers to understand the world around them through personally analyzing their own past without bias from the Emotional Response Unit‚ or any other conflicting counter-part. Critical thinking is not an innate ability. As mentioned in the article many of us are born with what Alcock
