Bugatti Veyron W16 Engine
The trials of the fastest road sports car in the world have been successfully completed. One of the most ambitious projects in automobile history is entering its production phase. The first Bugatti Veyron 16.4 cars, built mainly by hand. The engine delivers 1001 HP at 6,000 r.p.m. and provides a maximum torque of 1250 Newtonmetres at between 2,200 and 5,500 r.p.m. “For 1000 HP propulsion power, the system demands approximately 2000 HP to be additionally generated as heat energy during combustion. Half in each case is dissipated in the exhaust gas and cooling water”.
Electricity Generation
A whole lot of heat energy is wasted in many of humankind's devices. Automobiles generate enough heat in the exhaust to power the entire electrical system. The problem is that it is difficult and expensive to convert heat energy into usable electricity, especially for low temperature applications. A working gas is used in high temperature applications for the conversion. A good example of this is a steam generator, which uses heat to boil water and uses the rushing steam to run a turbine
