Electronic Hybrid and Patrol Engines
ELECTRONIC, HYBRID AND PETROL ENGINES
The first auto engine was invented in 1886 by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler. Tracing the history of the origin and development of engines, we see that the crucial role in the creation of the car engine played a gasoline internal combustion engine, which remains to this day, a source of power to the vast majority of engines. Analysis of the ways of development of automobile engines is not only interesting from a historical point-of-view but it is a striking illustration of a very productive and relatively rapid improvement of internal combustion engines with respect to those requirements of road transport. Very often, it takes years, even decades, before a more perfect principle or the most rational design application in production. The design of automobile engines, their creation, improvement and mass production for a wide variety of operating conditions, carried out over a period of more than 70 years to serve as material for the production of an evaluation criterion of excellence engines of technological development. Especially, the opportunity to use automotive experience, outline the prospects for the development of the design with a sufficient degree of certainty, based on extensive data accumulated as a result of construction and the use of more than two million cars built around the world to date.
Petrol Engines
History
The four stroke internal combustion engine or petrol engine was first invented by Nikolaus August Otto in 1876 (Moyer, 2009). After that, other inventors developed both a small and fast engine. The first modern automobile was introduced by Daimler and Benz in 1886. With major improvements from time to time, various other companies have played a key role in the development of the petrol engines. It is through their efforts that the first single cylinder engine has gone on to become ultra system, especially for cars.
Usage
Petrol engines are commonly used in light and heavy machinery.
Because of its high power and low weight, it is also used in mobile equipments.
Petrol engines are mostly used in vehicles including cars, jeeps, trucks, boats, ships, bikes, locomotives and aircrafts.
It is also used in gas turbines and electric generators.
Mechanism of Four Stroke Petrol Engine
At the beginning, the piston is at top dead center. The intake valve is open and the piston movement creates a vacuum within the combustion chamber as it reaches the bottom dead center. The vacuum created by the piston at this time, causes the fuel-air mixture sent by the carburetor to the intake manifold from entering the combustion chamber of the cylinder through the intake valve open.
Once the piston reaches (BDC) bottom dead center, camshaft, that rotates with the crankshaft and which has remained open until the moment the inlet valve to allow the fuel-air mixture entering the cylinder closes. At that very moment the piston starts to rise compressing the air-fuel mixture that is inside the cylinder. The cylinder reaches top dead center again and the air-fuel mixture has reached the maximum compression, jump an electric spark in the spark plug tip that ignites the mixture and makes it explodes. The force of the explosion forces the piston down sharply and the rectilinear motion is transmitted through the connecting rod to the crankshaft, which is converted into rotary motion and useful work. The piston, which is now back in the PMI occurred after the time of explosion, begins to rise. The cam shaft, which is kept rotating with the crankshaft at that time open the exhaust valve and the gas accumulated within the cylinder, produced by the explosion, are entrained by the upward movement of the piston, pass through the valve and out into the atmosphere through a hose connected to the exhaust manifold. Thus completes the four-stroke engine, which continues to take place without interruption in each of the cylinders, until it stops the operation of the motor.
Dependence
Petrol engines are totally dependent on availability and production of crude oil. The prices of crude oil fluctuates globally and the economic...
Hybrid Cars From an individualistic perspective, hybrid cars may not make a great difference for consumers wishing to buy them to save money on gas. However, collectively hybrid cars can help reduce environmental problems. Government must take steps to incentivize the buying of hybrid cars to make them 'worth it' to consumers. What are hybrid cars? Hybrid cars are called 'hybrids' because they contain two engines. A hybrid car "features a small fuel-efficient
Hybrid Cars -- Persuasive Speech What do you think of living in a planet that has little pollution? How about the idea of passing on a green planet to your kids and grand kids? Sounds impossible? Well, its not if each of us start making a small contribution towards reducing the emission of green house gases to make our planet a safer and greener place to live. One of the ways to
16) Broader estimates, including all companies are more conservative, yet it is clear that the target market potential is exponential, and marketing will likely broaden its scope to other target markets in the near future. Possible risks to the industry are limited by quality and potential market saturation, when demand levels off with supply, as it will likely in the near future. As has been stated previously, it seems the
Cons of Owning Hybrid Cars: There are several cons to owning a hybrid car and they include the following: Lack of freeway cruising speeds in the majority of the hybrid models. The engines are not designed for consistently high speeds over 80 mph or above for example. The best selling hybrids have on average $5,000 prices above their invoices due to their high levels of popularity. With this significantly higher price, the savings
