Another means of using oil and other petroleum products to generate electricity is the internal combustion engine, which works by converting the explosive potential of burning petroleum and its derivatives directly into mechanical energy, and then using that mechanical power to run a generator. A gaso...
Fossil fuels such ascoaland oil is used to generate heat. This heat converts water into steam at very high temperature and high pressure. This steam at high pressure drives a steam turbine. Therotating shaft of the steam turbineis coupled to the armature of the alternator to generate electrici...
Working like a filter, the oil catch can plugs into the hose line to catch the debris before it can reach the engine’s intake manifold. How Does an Oil Catch Can Work? The oil catch can supplements the breather hose between the PCV and the engine’s intake system. The breather hose ...
Every vehicle engine needs oil to generate power. Oil is used for two reasons: cooling and lubrication. It helps lubricate the parts and components as they rub against each other. It also cools the engine bytransferring heat away from the contact surface. However, motorcycles do not use ...
Hundreds of miles of underwater cables link Greece's mainland power stations to the country's popular vacation destinations. It allows the islands to ditch their oil-burning generators for renewable power from Greece's abundant wind and sun.Wind...

There are really just two ways to power a modern car. Most cars on the road today use an internal-combustion engine to burn petroleum-based fuel, generate heat, and push pistons up and down to drive the transmission and the wheels. Electric cars work an entirely different way. Instead of...
This study provides new insights on the dynamics of oil price shocks and purchasing power (PP) in the top six OPEC economies using the Quantile ARDL modelling technique. Notably, previous studies were largely silent about the impact of oil price periodic shocks on PP. To fill this gap, we ...
(c) Brushless Design – An alternator that does not use brushes requires less maintenance and also produces cleaner power. Fuel System The fuel tank usually has sufficient capacity to keep the generator operational for 6 to 8 hours on an average. In the case of small generator units, the fue...
Checks and balances refer to the separation of power to avoid one entity or body wielding too much power. Checks and balances can help reduce mistakes and prevent improper behavior in organizations. Checks and balances are most commonly used in the context of government, for example in the U....
