    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gasoline_additives

    Fuel additives in the United States are regulated under section 211 of the Clean Air Act (as amended in January 1995). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires the registration of all fuel additives which are commercially distributed for use in highway motor vehicles in the United States, [8] and may require testing and ban harmful additives.

  4. Carbide lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbide_lamp

    Many cavers prefer this type of unfocused light as it improves peripheral vision in the complete dark. The reaction of carbide with water is exothermic and produces a fair amount of heat independent of the flame. In cold caves, carbide lamp users can use this heat to help stave off hypothermia. [8] Acetylene is produced by the reaction: [9]

  5. Alkaline fuel cell - Wikipedia

    The alkaline fuel cell (AFC), also known as the Bacon fuel cell after its British inventor, Francis Thomas Bacon, is one of the most developed fuel cell technologies. Alkaline fuel cells consume hydrogen and pure oxygen, to produce potable water, heat, and electricity. They are among the most efficient fuel cells, having the potential to reach 70%.

  8. Liquid-propellant rocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-propellant_rocket

    For liquid-propellant rockets, four different ways of powering the injection of the propellant into the chamber are in common use. [11] Fuel and oxidizer must be pumped into the combustion chamber against the pressure of the hot gasses being burned, and engine power is limited by the rate at which propellant can be pumped into the combustion ...

  9. Smokeless fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokeless_fuel

    Smokeless coal is more efficient than a conventional open coal fire indoors because the high working temperature is released into the room as infrared radiation, as can be judged by the bright red color of a mature fire. The hot gases produced are lost up the chimney, thereby reducing efficiency just as in an open coal fire.
