Are There Cars That Use Water as Fuel?
1 Answers
There are no cars that use water as fuel. Water-fueled vehicles are a hypothetical type of car that does not require gasoline or other conventional fuels. Gasoline and diesel are currently the most commonly used fuels for automobiles. Gasoline is the fuel for gasoline engines. It is a petroleum product and a mixture of over a hundred different hydrocarbons, with its main chemical components being carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). The most important physicochemical property of gasoline is its anti-knock performance, measured by the octane number. Another key property is volatility, which significantly impacts engine cold starts, transient conditions, and fuel vapor emissions. Diesel is the fuel for diesel engines. It is also a mixture of complex hydrocarbons. During petroleum distillation, the fraction obtained at temperatures between 200-350 degrees Celsius is diesel. Diesel is categorized into light diesel and heavy diesel. Light diesel is used in high-speed diesel engines, while heavy diesel is used in medium- and low-speed diesel engines. Automotive diesel engines are all high-speed diesel engines, so they use light diesel.
