Fuel and fuel - Air - the start of the ignition of the oxygen mixture, how to modify or enhance the combustionBy an internal combustion engine of any form, using the nanosecond cycle high voltage pulse discharge and also relates the production of engine and energy engineering industry, the ...
An engine consists of several chambers or “cylinders”, into each of which is injected a mixture of air and avgas. This mixture is caused to undergo combustion at the proper time by a spark, generated by the spark plugs. The properly timed explosion of the fuel air mixture in the cylind...
The desert terrain is also a challenge. Unlike the firm foundations of an aircraft hangar and the surrounding aircraft stands and taxiways, at Alice Springs aircraft are parked on compacted strips of soil and concrete that are mixed to form a hard surface. Performing maintenance around these limi...
CARBON INSETTING WITH SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL What is Carbon Insetting? BENEFITS OF GOGREEN PLUS SAF is now an effective way to reduce the carbon footprint of air transportation and is the most effective way for customers to make their supply chains more sustainable. GoGreen Plus is DH...
Exhaust Smoke: Is It Normal?Before we go on to explain why thick white smoke from exhaust is a sign of trouble, you must first understand where exhaust fumes come from and what is normal. Inside your engine’s combustion chamber, a spark ignites the mixture of fuel and air, creating a ...
but do so in a way that is also safe and airworthy. That’s where the ‘ionBird’ test-rig came into play, taking its name from the Li-ion technology that the battery is based on. Similar rigs have long been used in aviation for testing propulsion systems a...
If you run a charity or non-profit organisation, you may be eligible for the reduced VAT rate. This would take the amount of VAT you pay on your energy from the standard 20% down to 5%. As a charity you can pay a reduced rate if 60% or more of your fuel and power is used for...
We see airlines all over the world wondering what to do. Some are working with offsets, and some are working by buying sustainable aviation fuel and trying to spur that industry. Some are investing in future technology for propulsion, whether it’s electric or hydrogen combustion or sim...
Combustion occurs when a substance -- the fuel -- combines rapidly with oxygen, producing heat and light. If you study a campfire or even a candle flame carefully, you will notice a small colorless gap between the wood or the wick and the flames. In this gap, gases are rising and ...
Imagine you’re zooming down the highway at 70 miles per hour and the car’s fuel gauge is on its way to empty. Just up ahead there’s a tanker truck trailing a long hose attached to a basket that’s floating a couple of feet above the ground. Approaching the tanker, a probe ...
