The only time an engine is at 'zero' efficiency is when you switch it OFF! You either have a 'working process' that has an efficiency index... or 'no process' at all. Paul Tegler ptegler@gouldfo.com

AAhhh.... well then a gasoline engine is ALWAYS at ZERO efficiency. -orYou'd have to say an engine is 'super-duper efficient' at it's supposed task. What energy is 'going in'??? gasoline as a fuel i
Message text written by "Ptegler" gasoline as a fuel is not 'energy in' . The engine has to 'work' to burn a fuel < The energy in is the chemical energy contained in the fuel. When you oxidize gasoli

Fill a balloon with water. place a small rock on top of the balloon. The weight of the rock is compressing the water. (ridiculously small amount, but nevertheless the separation of molecules is less
