Combustion or Electric?
After reading these two article's, I wonder if maybe electric isn’t the most feasible option at this time period. It is hard to replace something that has been around for over a hundred years, that being the simple combustion engine. Here Honda has developed a combustion engine that is capable of 78.5 mpg which is astounding in comparison to many vehicles. I wonder what would happen if this new engine used with a cam-less style valve-train, where the manufacturer has the most control out of the valve lift, giving you the option of performance versus economy. The control over this give you the option to lessen the emissions.
This is how a traditional combustion engine works. Notice how there is no altering the valve lift, as its lift is dependent on the lift of the cam. However, a cam-less engine removes the camshaft completely, allowing control over emissions by limiting the fuel and air intake.

The animation really adds to your project. I like it, Joey!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the animation--thank you for the explanation. My next thought revolves around the question of whether or not people who have the control capability to lessen their own emissions actually would. What are your thoughts?
