The steam engine used to power other machines was invented by?
James Watt.
What other invention did the Wright make?
The real marvel of the Wright Brothers was not that they flew. Men had been using gliders long before they constructed their gliders. The real marvel and real technology they developed was a lighter and higher powered engine then anyone before them. Their engine, mounted to their glider, is what allowed history to be made. Their light and powerful engine is what was truly new.
What are the steps taking to assemble an engine?
Collect all the necessary parts. Clean the parts. Install piston rings on the piston crowns. Smear engine oil on the piston cover and the cylinders. Install the rods and the bearings. Add grease to the bearings and seal them with caps. Connect the rods and pistons to each other. Insert the rod end to the engine block. Connect the timing chain. Apply a new gasket and install the head plate.
What are types of engines other than internal combustion engine?
Steam EngineJet turbine EngineRotary EngineElectric EngineRocket EngineThe term 'engine' was originally coined to differentiate the "internal combustion" motor from all other previous types of motors. In the above mentioned answer, one should note that the jet turbine, the rocket, rotary and perhaps even the steam engines do have some sort of internal combustion. The proper term for the electric should be "Electric Motor"
What other skills did the wright brothers have?
their other skill possible their best skill was banging each other in the bo ho hard and long
Why cant petrol be used in diesel engine?
Because one has a petrol engine and the other has a diesel engine. Petrol/gasoline does not ignite the same way as diesel. It also does not have the lubrication qualities that diesel has. Gas in a diesel engine will damage the fuel system if the diesel very quickly.
What is the difference between the diesel engine and gasoline engine?
One runs on diesel and the other on petrol. Click the link.
Can I used unleaded fuel in a diesel van?
If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel. Unleaded gasoline will destroy a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant in a diesel engine. The use of any other fuel except diesel will result in serious damage. If you have put unleaded in your diesel, do not start or drive this vehicle until you drain the tank and change all the fuel filters.If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel.

What does Diesel call other trains on Thomas the Tank Engine?
Diesel calls steam engines "Steamies."
What if diesel is put in a gasoline engine?
Diesel in a gasoline engine will not harm the engine other than that, depending on how much diesel you put in the tank, it will simply not run. It may clog the fuel filter or injectors but will do no other damage. Drain the tank and fill it up with gasoline if you put in over a couple of gallons.
Can you drive a diesel engine blowing white smoke?
You can drive a diesel engine, or any other type, blowing any colour smoke you wish. Though it is pretty foolish to smoke
The Pros of Diesel Engines?
Car engines come in two broad categories, both named after the type of fuel they consume: gasoline and diesel. In turn, the design of each engine is named after their inventors: Nikolaus Otto invented the Otto cycle for gasoline engines, and Rudolf Diesel invented the Diesel cycle for diesel engines. Diesel created his engine after learning about the engine created by Otto at the Polytechnic High School, the equivalent of an engineering college. Gasoline engines are less efficient than diesel, but diesel has a reputation for being dirtier than gasoline, so gasoline is the engine of choice for most domestic automobile manufacturers. Despite the fact that they are both internal combustion engines, the disadvantages of diesel has in the past far outweighed the advantages. Fortunately, improvements in design have made diesel more attractive, and diesel today is a serious alternative to the predominant gasoline engine. Major car makers like Mercedes-Benz incorporated diesel engines into their designs in the past, but today the diesel engine is starting to make credible inroads with other companies. The main advantage of a diesel engine is it's high fuel economy. The fuel economy of a diesel-powered truck or car is about twenty to thirty percent better than gasoline-powered vehicles. In times of high fuel prices, this can prove a big enough advantage to choose diesel by itself. Other advantages include less maintenance costs, due to the absence of spark plugs. The Diesel cycle uses the intense compression of fuel and air to ignite and combust the mixture. The reason this works is because of the high energy density of diesel fuel. The high energy density combined with the increased mechanical efficiency explains why diesel engines achieve such incredible fuel efficiency. Added advantages include improvements such as less noise, less soot and less cost. Today, the noise produced from a diesel engine and a gasoline engine are so close they are almost indistinguishable. Owners of diesel engines tend to fall in love and spread the word about how efficient and clean their cars are.
How does water get in diesel Detroit s60 engine?
Either condensation or someone put it there. Diesel can get into the coolant, but it won't happen the other way around.
Was there a diesel engine available for a 1964 Volkswagen Beetle?
No. Volkswagen made two prototypes only in 1951 with a 1.3 L diesel engine. One in a type 1 and the other in a type 2.
What other fuels can a diesel engine run on safely?
none unless you convert it over.
How can I have everything under the hood new and still have a whistling noise?
This question has information missing. Make model year engine are all required. In short my Diesel has a turbo whistle all the time that is normal Many Diesels make this noise. Whistles are often wind noise and caused by other than mechanical faults, so this car needs to be shown to a qualified person and have that person figure out the source.
Why petrol cannot be used in diesel engines and vice versa?
Diesel fuel is used in diesel engines as a partial lubricant. It also has a high flash point due the fact that diesel engines ignite the fuel by compression rather than spark. A gasoline engine on the other hand fires the fuel by spark and the fuel has a lower flash point. Gasoline has no lubricating qualities whatsoever. Diesel engines are designed to run on diesel fuel and the use of gasoline in a diesel engine will destroy it. Gasoline engines on the other hand will not even run on diesel but no damage will be done to the engine. You will however have to drain the fuel tank and flush out the fuel lines.
