Open Question: Is it possible to have an all electric car and charge the batteries while using them?
I mean is it possible to drive an electric car that has say a small internal combustion engine that can charge the batteries while using the batteries to power the car at the same time? It seems to me a small turbine engine could turn a generator capable of charging the batteries but not necessarily provide enough electricity to power the car by itself. Turbine engines have no octane or cetane requirements so they could run on almost anything that burns. This would allow for the use of "green" fuels and hundred miles per gallon or more.
I didn't mean for the engine to be able to power the car or assist in propulsion at all. Just charge the batteries. I'm just looking to extend the range of an ALL electric vehicle. I know there are hybrids so that's not what I meant. So turbine or not doesn't matter as far as moving the car goes. A small turbine can burn practically anything, and turbines turn very high rpm so it may allow for a more efficient generator. "wearing out the brakes" is funny, but a turbine engine and a jet engine are 2 different things. Internal combustion engines are just so extremely inefficient it's sad we ever went that way as far as moving a car goes. There have been electric cars almost from the start.

Resolved Question: Calorimetry Question?
I have two questions. I'm not entirely sure about how to tackle them. So, if you could show me how to answer it and not give the answer, that would be great! Happy Holidays to all!
1. When walking briskly, you use about 20 kJ of energy per minute. One serving of a whole wheat cereal (37.5 g) provides about 126 Cal (food calories) of energy. Hint 1 Cal = 4.184 kJ.
a) How long could you walk after eating one serving of cereal?
b)how far could you walk at 60km/h?
2. Hydrogen burns according to the following equation.
2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
the heat of combustion for H is -141.5 kJ/g.
a) calculate the energy produced by the combustion of one litre (0.702 kg) of octane, C8H8 in gasoline. heat of combustion of octane: -41.3 kJ/g
b) calculate the volume of hydrogen gas at SATP that is required to produce the same amount of energy as the octane in part (a)
c) how could hydrogen gas be stored in order to carry a practical amount in a passenger vehicle? what possible danger might this create?

Resolved Question: Why do some states provide 85 octane gas?
I was in Colorado, and I saw gas stations serving 85 octane gas, along with 87 and 89. Also, I know that the altitude is around 5000 ft, compared to 1000 where I'm from. So, my guess is altitude, and pressure. Right?

Resolved Question: Trade in upside down vehicle?
I asked this the other day, but will ask again and provide some more detail.
My hubby made a really bad decision & bought new a 06 Subaru Baja Turbo that has about 40k on it (he bought it 12/06). On top of his full time job, he delivers pizzas about 25 hrs a week (he works this much to pay for the Baja). He owes about 18k- we can't afford to pay extra principal. He will still deliver pizzas after it's paid off because he likes to have extra $. He gets about 20 mpg which sucks for his p/t job and our budget, also considering that he uses 93 octane gas for the turbo.
Our 2nd child is due in December, and after that I'm not going to be working full time outside the home anymore. (This was all in the 'plan' when he bought the stupid car). I've been telling him that it was unpractical all along, and now with the unstable economy and gas prices all over the place, he's starting to see that and is talking about trading his car in on something smaller, more fuel effiecient and with cheaper payments- like a Kia Rio or Hyundai Accent.
The base price is around 10k, and he'll have about 5k neg. equity in the Baja, so he'll be financing almost as much as he owes now. I've done some research and according to all the online calculators on financial & car websites, he'll break even in about 3 yrs.
I talked to my most financially intelligent person I know, and he said he wouldn't do it, but that IF we did, the only way it COULD make financial-sense would be to continue to pay the amount we've been paying on the Baja to pay it off quicker and pay less interest over time.
But all the financially advise in the news is saying 'keep ur gas guzzler because they have no re-sale value' and 'don't take out any new loans that you don't HAVE to', etc.
Now all that being said- What would you do????? I don't want him to make another bad decision, because there is so much more at immediate stake than there was almost 2 yrs ago.

Resolved Question: Shouldn't E-85 be able to run through any carburetor fed engine? ?
It has been a very long time since I practiced my old hobby of building cars. Since then, I have returned to college and am making less money - not to mention that fuel prices have increased since I built my last high horsepower car. I want to build another one. However, I do not wish for the rockets on wheels I used to be able to afford . Rather, I would like a mild build. Simply a beautiful old car, maybe with a 283 bolted to a 350 turbo with a 4:11 differential rear end. Nothing spectacular, just a pretty grocery getter. I would like for this car to run off of E-85 for obvious economical reasons. Am I right to assume that pretty much any clean and properly functioning carb can run E-85 with proper tuning? Of course, I would have to fine tune the fuel pressure with an FP valve. The choke, etc would have to have to be fine tuned to the new fuel to provide the engine with just the right amount of fuel to avoid starving and flooding, I assume. Of course, the higher octane energy of E-85 would certainly mean a nice after market electric fan. It is getting one any way. And also tranny fluid and oil radiators as well. I am not trying to answer my own questions. Only to solicit knowledge from folks who know what I am talking about. Please send me your thoughts. And thanks for your time.

Resolved Question: 91 integra skunk2 chipped ecu??
ok i have a 91 integra ls with a b18a1 motor, tanabe exhaust, and a cold air intake, short throw shifter etc. etc.
i just bought a new skunk2 programmed chipped ecu for it!!
these are soppose to be the upgrades this ecu provides..
90-91 Integra chipped ecu with skunk2 program
Non Vtec ls pR4 ecu obd0
-Redline 8,000 rpms
-No Knock sensor
-Performance increase up to 10-20 hp
-Speed limiter removed
-Aggressive fuel and ignition timing ( 89 up octane gasoline or higher
my question is will this ecu end up blowing my engine?
i dont plan on taking it to 8000 rpms because i know my integra is not built to take that...and im pretty sure that this high of an rpm is way out of the power band anyway!!...i payed 120 for this ecu
so do you think this was a good buy?
any advice would be helpful.
thank you

Resolved Question: For a 2003 VW Jetta Wolfsburg Turbo Edition, should I use gasoline with octane 89 or 93?
I believe the fuel panel door recommends 87-91, but my state does not provide 91 octane. It jumps from 87 - 89 - 93. I was under the impression that only "Premium" octane gasoline should be used, but wouldn't 89 be considered mid-grade? Would 93 be unnecessary or is it best to use highest octane on a Turbo engine? Should I just stick to mid-grade 89?

Resolved Question: Engineers & Mechanics: Couldn't compression be developed in separate cylinders, free from the complicatins of
of combustion?
A turbo-charger does that but on the same principle as a fan. Seems a mirror-cylinder to each combustion cylinder would provide more powerful compression than a fan. Or, perhaps a typical air-compressor geared up several times the speed of the crank.
The reason I ask is, there are very cheap fuels with octane levels that put gasoline to shame. Gasoline engines are weenie-roasters when it comes to waste heat. Ethanol would produce less heat (has roughly 20% lower BTU value than gasoline) and, with higher compression, more kinetic energy per unit of fuel.
Your thoughts?

Richard: Normally, I'd be all aglow with 'whoop-action' cuz you didn't tell me what I wanted to hear. But, since you vented and feel better, I feel like some kind of electro-philanthropist. So, I'll be nice.
[halo beams brightly, blinding some poor cataract patient]
That said, however, I'm hearing different conclusions from different people. Evidently, SAAB is set to introduce a 400-HP ethanol sportster some time this year. Its tiny, ultra-high compression engine is said to get about 50% higher MPG than a diesel.
Needless to say, I'm perplexed at the cacophonous contradictions.
Here's my assumption: gasoline's "energy" is wasted as heat -- much like an incandescent bulb that makes as much heat as light.
In an engine optimized for 116 octane, the majority of the energy in a gallon of ethanol - though 20% less than that in a gallon of gas - would be converted to kinetic energy, reaping higher mileage.
Your thoughts?

Voting Question: Gas Stochiometry questions?
On my worksheet theres this one really weird question though can u work it out for me, im not trying to get the answers my teacher already provided me a study guide with the selected answers i just want to see how you get it thats that main part
1) If air is 20.9% oxygen by volume
a. How many liters of air are needed to complete the combustion of 25.0 L of octane vapor (C8H18) at STP?
b. What volume of each product is produced?
that is probably the most confusing question ive seen in my chemistry career how do you solve this? what to do first.. please help 1 last time

Resolved Question: If gas is selling foe $3.34 a gallon, what would the price of ethanol have to be? (cont.)?
in order to provide the same amount of heat per dollar?Ethanol (C2H5OH) and gasoline (C8H18) are both used as automobile fuel. The density and change in heat of octane are 0.7025 g/ml and -249.9 kJ/mol and of ethanol are 0.7894 g/ml and -277.0 kJ/mol, respectively. 1 gal = 3.785.
