When buying a vehicle, some people look at the type of fuel it uses and what the cost of the fuel is when they are buying it. Two of the most common fuels are Gasoline and Diesel. This isn't easy since the price at the gas stations keep changing and the way each are used and measured are different. Here are a few things to show some things you can consider. Diesel fuel is denser than gasoline and contains about 11% more energy per volume. Both fuels relatively cost about the same diesel…

Germany has brought forth a proposal to ban the sale of all internal combustion vehicles by the year 2030. This is a major arrangement concerning the world as an entirety. If this would to pass through the legislation, then Germany would be looking towards an electric future and virtually no carbon monoxide emissions. This would not only cause the decrease in the carbon footprint but a major hit to the oil industries and even the car companies. Germany wouldn’t be the only country to implement…

Diesel Engines Vs. Gasoline Engines in Trucks There are many people in the world who don’t even know what the similarities and differences are between gasoline engines and diesel engines in trucks. Most people don’t even care about the similarities and differences and just stick with the type of truck they like. Here in this essay though, the main similarities and differences between the two will be explained by the listed pros and cons of each. For the most part, on the roads of big cities or…

An essay about Environmental, economic and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels. By Jason Hill et al. The authors try to determine whether ethanol, produced from corn grain, and biodiesel, produced from soybeans provide benefits over the petroleum-based fuels they displace. To be a viable alternative to fossil fuels, a biofuel (ethanol or biodiesel) should provide a net energy gain, have superior environmental benefits, be economically competitive with fossil fuels and…

Have you ever driven a car made by Ford? If you have, odds are that that car wouldn’t have existed if not for Henry Ford. In this essay, I'm going to talk about the different ways Henry Ford revolutionized the way we view cars. Henry was born in Dearborn, Michigan on July 30, 1863. He was the child of William Ford and Mary Litogot. He was the first of five children to live to adulthood. He started from a relatively poor background. However, even from the beginning, he showed an interest in…

Staring from the Invention era , which took the credit for the internal combustion engine to the Integration era, where speed was their main concern. When the body was nailed to its theoretical, the Manufacturing era mastered the mass production. Then came the Integration era, with a unified body frame that facilitated the evolving…

Kerosene lamps. It was latter discovered that oil could be used to run the internal combustion engine. During the early days of the horseless carriage engineers where trying to figure out what type of fuel would be best, Engineers came up with the electric car but it was to expensive and the range was short, so the idea of an electric car soon died. Henry Ford tried to make alcohol the main fuel for the combustion engine but John D Rockefeller who control 90 Percent of the U.S oil saw this as a…

battery, it’s totally different type with high technology. It’s costly. Yet, costly not always means perfect, the problem still there. The internal combustion engine has a long life, even 30 years even more than 30 years. But, the automotive battery technology is not mature enough, consequently battery’s life is more shorter than the internal combustion engine. A car should work at least 15 years or more. People need practicability, no matter the vehicle development, but the main function it’s…

constructed. If anyone is a highway driver they are better off getting a diesel engined car because the engine is made to take a high amount of miles. Joanne Will states, “That’s because diesel is a very light oil, and when you burn diesel in an internal combustion engine you’re basically lubricating the valves, rings, and piston walls. Gasoline and diesel both derive from petroleum, but gasoline in the other hand is very detergent, so it continually washes away any oil from the engine…

Alternative fuels are perceived as being less likely to evaporate or otherwise find their way into the air before combustion and are less ozone-forming and less toxic if they do (Gushee, 1995). Another benefit that may be reaped from the use of alternative fuels is that gases burn cleaner than gasoline (see Table 6). As a result, less harmful emissions are created as…
