Science project idea on how the power of an automobile is produced.
How the Power of an Automobile is Produced
We all know that gasoline is burned to give the engines of automobiles and motor boats their power. That there is power developed in the burning of gasoline may be illustrated by a very simple experiment. Oxidation Automobile Science Project Experiment Make a hole in the side of a coffee pot or a can with hinged lid, a short distance from the bottom. Into the can pour a few drops of high grade gasoline and close the lid. Put a burning match or taper through the opening at the side. An explosion will occur which lifts the lid.
In the gas engine, a mixture of gasoline vapor and air compressed in the cylinder is exploded by a spark from the spark plug and the piston is thrown back with great force. By means of a crank shaft and the gears this power is made to turn the rear wheels of the automobile or the screw of the motor boat. Explain: (1) The striking back of a Bunsen burner
(2) The popping of a gas grate or gas stove when lighted
