The Leyland experimental petrol railcar was a unique railcar built and trialled in New Zealand in 1925. It should not be confused with the two much smaller NZR RM class Leyland diesel Leyland diesel railbus es of 1936. New Zealand s experimentation with railcar s began in 1912 with the use of a NZR RM class MacEwan Pratt MacEwan Pratt petrol railcar . The New Zealand Railways Department NZR , which ran the Rail transport in New Zealand national rail network , was looking for ways to run rural passenger services with as little expense as possible, but at the same time presenting an attractive form of transport to passengers. Many rural branch lines at the time ran mixed trains that carried both passengers and freight and were not particularly popular due to the slow schedule that resulted from loading and unloading goods during the journey. NZR saw the use of railcars as a potential means of providing cheap and efficient rural passenger travel, and as railcar technology was not very well developed at the time, engineers experimented with new ideas and various styles. One experimental railcar developed during the 1920s was the Leyland petrol railcar, designed in 1925 and built that year at NZR Hutt Workshops in Petone . The railcar was essentially a regular passenger carriage with a driving cab installed at one end a Leyland petrolengine with an output of 60 75 kW was positioned in a front housing that extended some four metres in front of the cab. The UIC classification wheel arrangement was 2 Bo, with the leading axle under the cab and the bogie located at the rear end. sixty two passengers could be accommodated inside the 19 m long railcar. After construction, the railcar was put into trials to see if it was suitable for use on regular passenger trains. It ultimately failed the trials and was never utilised on revenue service. Nonetheless, lessons were learnt and it was an important ... reprint NZR Locomotives Category Locomotives of New Zealand RM class Leyland petrol Category Leyland ... more details

Petrol currently sells at the heavily subsidised price of 1000 Iranian rial rials a litre approx. Euro 0.08 or United States dollar US 0.11 . The Iranian government s justification for the rationing was to reduce Iran s vulnerability to potential sanctions by the United Nations Security Council which would be in response to Nuclear program of Iran Iran s nuclear programme . Iran had been planning to ration petrol for a year prior, but had postponed the policy out of fear of unrest. The Iranian Parliament voted on May 7 to increase the price of petrol to 0.64, but Ahmadinejad decided to ration it instead. Iranian newspapers have been criticizing the decision, despite a warning prior to the start of the rationing to not report the riots.

The last known Oswald Engine was found in an engine parts warehouse in South San Francisco. The magneto on this example was made by Robert Bosch and was dated from 1914. Dealership The engine venture was apparently short lived, and Mr. Oswald became a dealer for R A Lister and Company and later Lister Petter diesel power plants, as Diesel engines grew in popularity and the era for gasoline inboards for the west coast fishing fleet in San Francisco and Monterey Bay faded. Lighting plant Oswald later produced portable diesel powered Electrical generator lighting plants popular during the Vietnam War and was a distributor and service center for diesel engines serving Northern California , and government contracts with customers including the United States Coast Guard Coast Guard .

nofootnotes date June 2011 The Hesselman engine is a hybrid between a petrolengine and a Diesel engine introduced by Sweden Swedish engineer Jonas Hesselman in 1925. It represented the first use of direct Gasoline direct injection gasoline injection on a spark ignition engine . The Hesselman engine saw use in heavy trucks and buses in models produced in the 1920s and 1930s. Operation A Hesselman engine is basically a spark ignition engine, converted to run on heavier petroleum products such as oil , kerosene or diesel oil . The fuel is injected into the combustion chamber using an injection pump. Because of the engine low compression the fuel must be ignited by a spark plug , unlike the diesel engine, where the fuel ignites spontaneously by the heat generated by the high compression ratio. Hesselman engines were often started on gasoline and then switched to diesel or kerosene when at working temperature. Clearing the heavy oil for the next start was achieved by switching back to gasoline before stopping. It is the first spark ignition engine with fuel injection Direct injection direct injection of fuel into the cylinder. Advantages and disadvantages Hesselman engines could use heavier oils which were considerably cheaper than gasoline and were therefore more economical to operate for the vehicle owner. Contemporary tests also pointed to a slightly lower fuel consumption in comparison to gasoline engines of similar power. A Hesselman engine compared to a diesel engine had smaller dimensions and hence lower weight. In the 1930s knowledge of metallurgy was less advanced, therefore diesel engines were heavy to cope with the high compression and pressure during combustion. Later, diesel engines were developed with better materials and Hesselman engines lost this advantage. Hesselman ...

Unreferenced date January 2008 about the piston engine X24 disambiguation Image X 24 engine.GIF right thumb 180px X 24 engine simplified cross section The X 24 is one of the few configurations of x engine X type engines known to have been produced. The design consists of a pairing of V12 engine V 12 s joined to a common crankshaft, which is lighter than the similar W engine W block or H engine H block designs, which require two crankshafts. However, none of the existing X 24 engines was particularly successful few saw service, and their production lifetimes were very limited. Postwar developments of the turbojet and turbofan engines apparently obviated the need for large aircraft engines of this type. Designs were developed by two of the Axis Powers , Italy and Nazism Nazi Germany . The German engine was the Daimler Benz DB 604 , intended for use in the Bomber B program. Development was cancelled as the strategic situation changed for Germany, and as the gas turbine engine made its debut. Italy s Isotta Fraschini developed the Zeta R.C. 24 60 for the Caproni F6 fighter, but Italy s surrender ended development. In England , Rolls Royce plc Rolls Royce planned on producing two engines during the war, the 750 hp V 12 Rolls Royce Peregrine , and the X 24 1,750 hp Rolls Royce Vulture based on the Peregrine. In production the Peregrine proved troublesome, and bolting two together to produce the Vulture only compounded the problems. Development work on both ended in 1941 as Rolls concentrated on an interim design intended to fill in the power gap between the two, which had developed into the 1,100 hp Rolls Royce Merlin .
