Engine

The Duke Axial Engine is a light weight, internal combustion, valve less engine. Suitable for Marine vehicles either inboard or outboard, Light Aircrafts, and or Generator/Utility and Military. The concept of this engine is fairly new. It began in New Zeeland’s Duke Engine’s, and is already on its way to being a more efficient engine. The information provided throughout will help gain a better concept of the engine and how it will be an asset to the automotive industry. The engine is a four stroke engine where the cylinder group makes a cylindrical “Barrel” shape. It gets its barrel shape from evenly spaced pistons around the central Crankshaft and is then aligned parallel to the axis of the crankshaft. The output crankshaft is aligned with…

Both diesel engines and gasoline engines are internal combustion engines, which means they are designed to make mechanical energy by converting chemical energy available in fuel. Rotary motion is required to turn the wheels of a car forward. So to make this rotary motion, pistons connected to a crankshaft move in an up and down motion to create the rotary motion. Through a series of small combustions or explosions, diesel engines and gasoline engines convert fuel into energy. Diesel and…

compressed air and their engine parts are built stronger than traditional gas engines parts. Everyone should own a diesel vehicle over a gasoline vehicle because diesels are more fuel efficient, have more power, torque, and more reliable. Diesel engines provide more power using less fuel compared to gasoline engines. On average, a "Diesel engine advantages about 20-30% better fuel economy than similar vehicles with a gasoline engine" (4 benefits of buying). Diesel vehicles get "6 to 8 more miles…

infamous for their loud, smelly, and jittery engines. However, today’s diesel powered engines are significantly more quiet, more comfortable to drive, and with new technological advances, they aren’t throwing out black smelly fumes from their tail pipes thanks to newer catalytic converters. Diesel engines are more preferable today because they are superior fuel savers, last much more longer, and have a higher power output. A diesel engine is known for good fuel mileage and is more preferable…

In the mid 1800’s the steam engine was one of the greatest feats of mechanical engineering that has contributed to modern technology. Before steam power, people relied on horse or man power to do grunt work. Also, factories were limited to certain locations that had water or wind power. The steam engine has made a huge impact on modern technology and was the catalyst for mass production in the United states. Steam engines were a marvelous piece of engineering during the industrial revolution…

But this is where one of the greatest downfalls of the steam engine comes in. The steam engine was so successful that factory owners were realizing it didn’t need such large workforce anymore. The steam engine was one of the most economically important inventions of all time. “The steam engine essentially created the Industrial Revolution. It did this in at least two ways. First, it provided the power for huge textile mills in England. Second, it helped allow the mining of coal from places…

being the steam engine. The impact of innovations such as the steam engine has begged the question of whether the effects that these inventions and innovations had on the economy has fostered long-term economic growth in the countries that adopted them.…

an easy task and will never be. The research I conducted on diesel and gas engines was unique, the things I experienced with job shadowing was unique, and the success and struggle with my project was outstanding. A gas engine is “a type of internal-combustion engine using a flammable gas, such as coal gas or natural gas, as fuel” (Collins English Dictionary). A diesel engine is “an internal-combustion engine that uses the heat of highly compressed air to ignite a spray of fuel introduced after…

Engine assessment Petrol engines. A petrol engine is an internal combustion engine with spark ignition, designed to run on petrol and homogeneous hazardous and unstable fuels. The first petrol combustion engine was prototyped in 1882 in Italy by Enrico Bernard. The pre commixing was afore now done in a carburettor, but now it is done by electronically controlled fuel injection, except in diminutive engines where the cost of electronics does not give a substantial reason for the integrated…

A jet engine is a sort of engine that releases a quick moving jet of gas to produce thrust as per Newton's third law of motion. This expansive meaning of jet engines incorporates turbojets, turbofans, rockets, ramjets, pulse jets and pump-jets, yet in like but in common term usage, the term commonly refers to a gas turbine Brayton cycle engine, an type of engine with a revolving compressor fueled by a turbine, with the remaining energy providing thrust. In today’s modern age of aviation, jet…
