How does a car run by gas?

Question

gas is used in cars why

Answer 1

Gasoline liquid in mist form is pulled into an engine cylinder along with air. The piston compresses the mixture. The spark plug ignites the mixture. It burns very rapidly, causing hot gases to form which push the piston down in the cylinder. when the piston comes up again, the burnt gases (exhaust) are pushed out of the cylinder. The third step, where the piston is pushed down, provides the power in the engine. this is transferred to the engine's crankshaft, then to the transmission, then to the drive wheel(s). The easy way to remember the four stages is this: "Suck, squeeze, pop, phooey!"

Answer 2

Actually, the early cars ran on various fuels. Natural gas cars were popular because streetlamps ran on nat gas, and in a pinch, you could run a line to your car and "fill up".

Electric cars had sufficient range for the type of driving you'd do with a horse 'n buggy.

Henry Ford actually designed his first production cars to run on hemp alcohol.

Why do you think prohibition became law? Do you think a bunch of drunks in congress wanted to outlaw liquor? Heck no! The oil industry wanted to eliminate their competittion! So they bribed, oh, pardon me, they "made campaign contributions" to their representatives in congress to get prohibition passed.

The 30's saw the rise of the alphabet soup police agencies whose primary objective was to eliminate all alcohol producing stills everywhere in the country.

Wouldn't it be sweet to have a still in your back 40 to produce your own auto fuel? Back then you could! Not anymore.

So, "how does a car run by gas?" Gas is mixed with air and it is compressed by a piston moving up and down in a cylinder. At just the right time a spark is introduced which ignites the fuel-air mixture, and the ensuing fire creates heat which expands and the expansion in the combustion chamber pushes the piston down. The downward momentum of the piston is captured to turn a crankshaft which is routed to the car's wheels as round-e-round motion and that makes the car go.

Answer 3

-----Gas--gasoline--is exploded inside the cylinder by the spark plugs. The force of the explosion makes the piston inside the cylinder go down; this motion is made to turn the wheels. The "block" that contains the cylinders and pistons is very strong and heavy in order to withstand the force of the explosions. "gas" is short for "GASoline". Actually, it is a gas, a vapour, inside the cylinder. ---Jim

Answer 4

By a process called combustion. this is where by the gas is burned up and the heat pressure in the motor starts moving the pistons and hence a car starts moving
