An interesting ecological Geneco Bio-Bug

The British company has developed Geneco anaerobic digestion system that allows the gas produced by sewage treatment and biofuel.

At first Avonmouth facility (located in the county of Bristol-UK) electricity generated from biogas plant only, but over the years, continuous technological improvements allowed the purification of gas increase production, thus able to become an alternative to usury in the national grid.

The manager of the company, Mohammed Saddiq said that because a significant amount of surplus gas Geneco had the need to find a viable alternative to the use of biogas, so after a few tests are able to develop a process that allows the use of methane as a biofuel.

It indicates that biogas can be used without affecting the car's performance or cause doubts about its safety after a treatment called "update". During this process the CO2 is separated from other components.

The first draft of four-wheeled eco Geneco Bio Bug is called, it is mentioned that the little goat can travel 160 000 km a year just with biogas generated by 70 houses.

Unfortunately not mentioned details about the mechanics of the car, however it is likely that its structure does not differ much from existing LPG fueled cars.

Torque ? What is it ?

What is Torque?


Torque is a force that tends to rotate or turn things. Informally, torque can be thought of as "rotational force".

You generate a torque any time you apply a force using a wrench. Tightening the lug nuts on your wheels is a good example.

When you use a wrench, you apply a force to the handle. This force creates a torque on the lug nut, which tends to turn the lug nut.

English units of torque are pound-inches or pound-feet; the SI unit is the Newton-meter. Notice that the torque units contain a distance and a force. To calculate the torque, you just multiply the force by the distance from the center. In the case of the lug nuts, if the wrench is a foot long, and you put 200 pounds of force on it, you are generating 200 pound-feet of torque. If you use a 2-foot wrench, you only need to put 100 pounds of force on it to generate the same torque.

The force applied to a lever, multiplied by its distance from the lever's fulcrum, is the torque. As a formula, you can define Torque as :

where,

r is the vector from the axis of rotation to the point on which the force is acting.

F is the vector of force.

Torque is important in the design of machines such as engines. The measurement of torque is also important in automotive engineering, being concerned with the transmission of power from the engine through the drive train to the wheels of a vehicle. Torque (and power output) can be measured with a dynamometer.

A torque wrench is used where the tightness of screws and bolts is crucial. Torque is also the easiest way to explain mechanical advantage in just about every simple machine except the pulley.
