What’s more: Upper-body positioning enhances or diminishes aerodynamics, which also plays a role in economy. Cadence and Pedaling Technique It’s well-known among cyclists that cadence has a significant effects on performance. According to some research, higher cadences are ideal during high-ef...
In this article, we'll discuss the basic idea behind an engine and then go into detail about how all the pieces fit together, what can go wrong and how to increase performance. The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move. Currently...

From start to finish, the process of generating electricity from wind -- and delivering that electricity to people who need it -- looks something like this: Turbine Aerodynamics Unlike the old-fashioned Dutch windmill design, which relied mostly on the wind's force to push the blades into moti...
you in a good place. But again, FTP alone shouldn't be something to obsess over as, whatever cycling discipline you're competing in, the overall aim is to get from A to B as quickly as possible, and good aerodynamics or a better pacing strategy can beat someone with a superior FTP."...
However, the engine on a hybrid is smaller and uses advanced technologies to reduce emissions and increase efficiency. Fuel tank: The fuel tank in a hybrid is the energy storage device for the gasoline engine. Gasoline has a much higher energy density than batteries do. For example, it takes...
(GHG) emissions due to the mitigation approach itself are eliminated (1and5 in Fig.1a); (ii) warming neutrality, achieved by mitigating any increase in climate impacts with respect to 2050 levels (1 to 5 in Fig.1a, and 2 to 5 in Fig.1b); and (iii) climate-neutrality, achieved by...
Is it better to sit or stand on climbs? The answer depends on the climb. “The shallower the gradient, the faster we climb, which means aerodynamics are still a factor,” explains Paterson. “So seated climbing is more efficient up gentler climbs. But, once the gradient kicks up above 10...
emission efficiency can also be obtained from more advanced engines - for example, the A350 aircraft is up to 25% more fuel efficient than its predecessors. The development of aerodynamics is also important and, for example, the shape of the winglets at the tips of the wings and new surface...
