    The Basics of Nitrous Oxide for Motorists

    The need for speed is a compulsion and an addiction that drives people to constantly look for new ways to boost the power of their car engines. The discovery that nitrous oxide (N2O) can increase the power of automobile engines thus came as a revelation. It is believed that nitrous oxide was first used to enhance vehicle engine functionality and performance during the Second World War. Engineers injected this substance into Allied fighter aircraft engines to give them emergency boosts in speed, especially when these planes flew in oxygen-depleted high-altitude zones. NASCAR driver Smokey Yunick was one of the first persons to use nitrous oxide in a car. He achieved…

    Future car technologies – Advanced control

    This is the final part of the Future Car Technologies series of articles. In order to make highways safer, it has been proposed that future cars should be grouped into platoons of eight to twenty-five cars and drive as one following each other at a distance of about a meter. They would all be controlled by an artificial intelligence or a lead driver (which ideally would be the most experienced of the whole group). Such a grouping would greatly increasing the capacity of roads. Brief assessment of the technology Such a technology might require buying new cars, or it may be something that can be retrofitted. Drivers would probably need…
