configuration uses a gasoline engine to run a generator. The generator supplies electricity to the motor‚ which drives the wheels‚ which allows the gasoline engine to run constantly while achieving optimum fuel efficiency. This then minimizes emissions owing to incomplete combustion. A hybrid car with parallel configuration uses both an engine and a motor to drive the wheels depending on driving conditions (1). Hybrid cars use both gas and electric. The gasoline engine is the primary source of power

without breaking with tradition. Remain true to yourself while exceeding expectations. How can you do that? By rekindling a source of infinite potential: inner fire. With the Boxster models‚ this power is demonstrated in many ways. By the powerful engines‚ for example. The optional Porsche Doppelkupplung. The Porsche Stability Management.

though the price of fuel has decreased in the following weeks‚ the United States is responsible for nearly one third of the world ’s fossil fuel consumption every year. Millions of gallons of gasoline are burned every day. In today ’s society combustion engines are relied on for the majority of our transportation needs. Some people might blame the Gulf War for a loss of fuel supplies. The truth is that we just use too much of natures precious resources and take them for granted. There are

can be purchased for $30‚000 TO $45‚000 all depending on the model you desire (Electric Car Costs vs. Gasoline Cars vs. Hybrids). Electric and hybrid cars both use technology that is designed to decrease the use of gasoline fuel for powering car engines. Electric cars are totally electric‚ meaning that they must be plugged in and charged‚ and that the range of the car is only as far as the charge. Hybrid cars use a mixture of gas and electric power to create a gas efficient partially electric car

Section 1: Introduction and Background Introduction Green energy can be referred as energy production that is not just better than fossil fuel but this energy is friendly to the environment also. Green energy comes from natural sources as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ plants‚ algae and geothermal heat. Waste incineration also can be a source of green energy. Green energy is often outlined as power source that do not pollute and are replenish-able. Green energy is very good to replace fossil fuels

The Hartnell Governor Stationary steam engines‚ traction engines‚ portable and semi-portable engines all require some method of steam regulation to enable the operator to maintain adequate control over the machine. A device known as a governor is the piece of equipment used for this purpose. Numerous types of governors have been designed and put into use. It is widely accepted that the Watt governor may be one of the oldest‚ if not the oldest‚ design which can still be found in use on numerous applications
