The turbocharger makes up for its lag with its ability to generate mass amounts of power to the engine. Turbochargers take barely any power from the engine to create boost. Turbochargers use the gas heat and engine pressure to create boost and give the engine more power. Most turbochargers produce 40 percent more power to an engine. So if a vehicle had a 200 horsepower engine and was running off of a turbocharger producing 10 pounds of boost, the engine would actually be running off of 280 horsepower. A supercharger produces mass amounts of boost for the engine from the crankshaft of the engine itself to compress air and make boost. While running, a supercharger uses valuable power from the engine which must be taken away from the gain of power in the long run. A vehicle with and engine producing 200 horsepower and a supercharger producing 10 pounds of boost would only make the vehicles total

As well as the cost, the convenience of fuel (gas) powered cars is far greater than that of electric powered cars. For an electric car people must be able to find an electric outlet in order to charge the car. Meaning the car must be kept in the garage for charging. Another disadvantage of electric powered cars is the ability to receive a charge while on a long trip. When people are traveling far distances, they often need to refuel at a gas station, but with electric car there are not as many gas stations with the option of recharging a car. Therefore, making the electric powered car less

Electric cars are better than gas cars because electric cars make less noise than gas cars when driving. The engines of electric cars make almost no noise, which the engineers have been perfecting for about 10 years now. The only sound you can hear is probably the hum of tires on the road when driving. On the other hand, the amount of noise inside a gas car can be as loud as 75-80 decibels. Electric cars are also better than gas cars because electric cars have low cost maintenance costs because electric cars do not need oil changes and it does not need oil for the engine to run.

Looking around, you may notice the sudden surge of sustainable engineering all around you. From new LED light bulbs, to many different kinds of robots this epidemic is sweeping the world more and more. While we are slowly shifting towards new technologies, there is one that has gained extreme popularity over the past couple of years. It is electric cars. Going a few years back to 2010 there were a few companies introducing their first models of electric cars, but almost no one was interested in buying them, and some people even hated the idea of driving one. Since then many aspects have changed and electromobility has become one of the most debated topics in car industry. So what are advantages and disadvantages and why are they so popular now?

Investing on something that is guaranteed to work is a very smart move. If your car battery is drained of charge and is unable to run the starter car motor, then you will have a solution at hand. The most effective boosters in the market today can provide the necessary kick start quite effectively. High performance boosters are not that

To most people, speed is the only thing a car or truck needs to win a race. One way to help enhance the speed is to add a multitude of parts, some of which are as follows: Super charger, nitrous, turbo, and performance chips. These are just a few of the many options one may run into. Super chargers increase the power of an engine (Harris, William). They do this by increasing the pressure or density of air supplied to an internal combustion engine. Another way that is also cheaper than

This means that not only are gas cars cheaper, but they can go a longer distances

If you were to ask a dozen different people if they believe there are benefits to premium versus regular gasoline, you may hear varying answers. Many people will say premium is better but may not be able to explain why. Truth is, many car owners follow the manual or just buy premium or regular based on budgetary reasons because premium is more expensive than regular.

One of the main benefits of nitro gas powered radio controlled cars is their speed. These cars are able to reach speeds that are faster than even the fastest electric car. Another benefit is that refueling, takes much less time than recharging. If you're in a hurry to get back out there, gas will get you there in a matter of minutes. Refueling

Ferrari built one of their fastest yet most advance vehicle called LaFerrari, which runs on a hybrid system developed to reduce fuel consumption by 40% and enhance performance by 30%. The LaFerrari uses a HY-KERS hybrid system. The electric motor in the car produces 163 Brake horsepower and 147 pound feet of torque. Combine horsepower ,with the electric and V-12, is 949 brake horsepower. This helps the car go from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds. Unlike electric, Hybrid technology is about collecting the energy that would have been wasted and regenerate it into the car. The Hy-Kers sytem adds power on top of what the combustion engine produces, just like a turbocharger boosts acceleration.In common hybrids, for

Gas cars and electric cars have a myriad of differences. For example, Electric cars can’t go as far of a distance on a full charge compared to a gas car with a full gas tank. Gasoline cars can be refilled with gas in a short amount of time while electric cars take a long time to recharge the battery. Electric cars are more expensive than common gas cars. Since there aren’t many electric cars being driven around, repair shops will probably be unfamiliar with repairing them compared to gasoline cars so repairs might take longer or something else

The car provides you with a smooth ride, so you don’t have to worry about those big bumps in the roads. It is economically safe and healthy, the electric power uses electricity so you don’t pollute the air with unnecessary exhaust gas fumes. The milage is very nice cause you don’t have to worry about running out of gas, or having to stop for gas, plus you have your electric power to rely on once you run out of gas. Many cities already do have charging stations and many more cities are getting them, this is nice so if you go on a road trip, or just to work you can charge up and be ready to drive many more miles. With the EV the car will keep going if you run out of electric power, it will switch over to engine power, how cool is that? The Volt’s complex powertrain helps it get better gas milage, because of the way it is designed. There are so many unique things the Volt has to offer, why wouldn’t you want your next car purchase to be a Volt? If you were a smart person you would buy the Chevrolet Volt as your next

A good turbo has the ability to make and engine’s rpms to jump up nearly 30 times faster. The compressor wheel and turbine wheel work in unison to supercharge the intake oxygen into the cylinder and thus increasing the amount of fuel burned per second. The exhaust that is pushed out of the cylinder rushes past the turbine wheel which is connected to the compressor wheel which compresses the ambient air outside compressing it while simultaneously heating it up, so the step before pushing it in the cylinder is to pass it through a charged-air cooler cooling it before being burnt and it goes through the whole process again. According to autoweek.com “…turbochargers offer high fuel economy and quick acceleration…” This proves it perfect for any car that needs speed. It does this without greatly increasing the size of the engine which would be necessary to maintain its current speed. It also keeps the amount of fuel burnt to a minimum. This makes turbos perfect for cars like the GT who try to maintain power whilst simultaneously retaining a light overall weight. Without a turbo a GT wouldn’t be even in the top 10 for fastest car in the world. It would burn much more fuel without a turbo as

There are many factors to designing a race car for it to have the capability to increase their speeds significantly. These factors include engine efficiency and performance, weight, and the programming of its electronic parts. The two most important things you can provide to your car to increase its speed is air and fuel. Air and fuel are essential for pushing a car forward and their combustion in the engine provides the force needed to power the car’s components that make it move. The more air and fuel you can get to your engine, the more power it can give back. For this reason most upgrades are focused around pushing additional air and gasoline into the engine while others drive the extra exhaust back out. I found it really interesting

Electric motor - The electric motor on a hybrid car is very sophisticated. Advanced electronics allow it to act as a motor as well as a generator. For example, when it needs to, it can draw energy from the batteries to accelerate the car. But acting as a generator, it can slow the car down and return energy to the batteries.
