1 Gasoline is far more powerful and efficient for moving vehicles than our current electro-chemical batteries. Even in my giant old American car, a full tank of gas weighs a little over a hundred pounds, and this amount drops as the gas provides energy. Battery packs in cars weigh a ...
In a campground, or on local roads, parking lots, etc. driving at slow speeds (at or near idle) for several minutes prior to stopping reduces the need for much or any cool-down period. That cool-down is most important when the engine was just run fast and or hard immediately prior to...
Gasoline engines are designed to take in exactly the right amount of air so the fuel burns properly, whether the engine is starting from cold or running hot at top speed. Getting the fuel-air mixture just right is the job of a clever mechanical gadget called a carburetor: a tube that all...
