Rico Suave asked:


I want to know the kind of bacteria responsible for anerobic digestion of waste to produce biogas and if they can be cultivated (developed) and added to the process to reduce that time. Thank you

How do hybrid cars recharge the battery on highways?

hybrid cars
Cam D asked:


My understanding is that the hybrid car ricaricano their batteries while slowing, but what happens if certain a lot of time on the main road where there 's relatively little that is holding? The battery dies and you must use the gas engine only until ups?

Why is there a long delay in my natural gas cooktop to light?

natural gas
G asked:


I have a gas cooktop natural whirlpool. When turn the knob to burn a burner, the ignitor continu aare clicking for about 20-30 seconds. So I feel the gas begin scroll and the lights burner. To make sure the delay was caused by gas not flowing (opposite the ignitor that does not work) that I held a match to the burner. The same result… 20-30 seconds before the start gas flow. What could cause this delay in the flow of gas? What can I do to fix it?

For engine builders with alcohol fuel experience?

alcohol fuel
Ryan K asked:


What is a safe compression ratio for a small block high performance (+ .500 lift cam, the individual collector) designed to burn E85 (85% alcohol, petrol by 15%, medium-octane 104). Burn a minimum of 85% alcohol, probably un'più high percentage on the day of the race, but I 'm who seeks the highest compression without concern for the detonation. I know there are many variables, but I 'm that the framework seeks a number from someone with experience. Researchers at my university are saying in the 13:1, but have only experienced engine aircraft that run E85. I was thinking that the geometry of typical small block (the highest speed of piston aircraft engines) were a higher number. I 'm not sure.
