How does NOS work in automobiles?

Answer 1

When you heat nitrous oxide to about 570 degrees F it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. So the injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more fuel, allowing the same engine to produce more power.
Nitrous oxide has another effect that improves performance even more. When it vaporizes, nitrous oxide provides a significant cooling effect on the intake air. When you reduce the intake air temperature, you increase the air's density, and this provides even more oxygen inside the cylinder.

Answer 2

Nitrous Oxide System a.k.a. NOS has a tank full of nitrous oxide that is connected to a tube, the tube is connected to the gasoline intake to boost the energy created by the engine. Think of Nitrous oxide as a thirst quencher for a person to make him stronger.

Answer 3

The Nitrous Oxide replaces the Oxygen and acts to increase the amount of fuel being burned, which increased the power created by the engine. It acts to boost the fuel injection.

Answer 4

NOS cools the air temp going into the combustions chamber, which will allow more air into the system, so the more air you have the more fuel you add which in turn makes a larger more powerful explosion.. thus creating more HP...

Answer 5

To keep it simple it is mixed along with cool air so it cools the fuel down, the colder the fuel the more revs the engine can make because an engine stays hot anyway and when you cool it down just slightly you produce more horses. The pistons dont have to work as hard to burn the fuel because cold fuel ingnites better than room temp. fuel.

check out my boss's car who uses nitrous,, it runs 6.79 sec at over 200 mph using a two stage fogger system, its the yellow neon w. the ram pumping his fist

the two pictured cars raced each other in the final race, winner won the championship in their class
heres the link to the results,, they are on the very bottom and top of the page,, check out what they ran and what nitrous can do for a motor,, CHECK IT OUT
my owners son is KEITH JACKSON , he raced the eventual winner Jackie SLONE( he has the red vette)
