Sentences with phrase «directly in gasoline engines»

Butanol has a higher energy content per gallon than ethanol, and can be used directly in gasoline engines, making it a better choice.

The team at Air Fuel Synthesis (AFS) has created a system for using renewable energy to power the capture of CO2 and water, which is then transformed into liquid hydrocarbon fuels that can be used directly in gasoline engines.

Now an international team of researchers led by the lung researcher Marianne Geiser from the Institute of Anatomy at the University of Bern and the aerosol researcher Josef Dommen from the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI has shown that secondary particles from gasoline combustion in Euro 5 engines directly damage lung tissue as well as weaken its defense functions.

Because of the fixed gear ratio, that's not directly comparable to a gasoline engine's rating: at full throttle, the peak torque available at the rear wheels of a V - 8 Porsche Panamera S is 7780 lb - ft in first gear; the Karma's peak is about half that, or 4022 lb - ft.

At highway speeds, the gasoline engine is able to engage a lock - up clutch and directly drive the wheels in what — for most cars — would be a sixth - gear ratio, but when you squeeze the pedal to accelerate again, the gas engine disconnects and hands control back over to the electric motor.

Gasoline direct injection differs from the fuel delivery process of a conventional engine by delivering fuel directly into the combustion chamber, where it is mixed with air drawn in to the chamber.

The gasoline engine powers the wheels directly in the conventional way or indirectly by charging a battery that powers the electric motor.

Like the Volt, it can run on electricity alone until its battery get depleted, and when that happens a gasoline engine kicks in to generate power (unlike, say, a Prius hybrid, the gasoline engine doesn't turn the wheels directly, it all goes through electric motors).
