Relativity: Einstein's theory of relativity in animations and film clips. Einstein Light. Images from the Microscope. How Time Works" Home. Origins. Einstein. He was daring, wildly ingenious, passionately curious. He saw a beam of light and imagined riding it; he looked up at the sky and envisioned that space-time was curved. Albert Einstein reinterpreted the inner workings of nature, the very essence of light, time, energy, and gravity. His insights fundamentally changed the way we look at the universe—and made him the most famous scientist of the 20th century.
We know Einstein as a visionary physicist, but he was also a passionate humanitarian and anti-war activist. Born a German Jew, Einstein truly considered himself a citizen of the world. His celebrity status enabled him to speak out—on global issues from pacifism to racism, anti-Semitism to nuclear disarmament. Einstein is made possible through the generous support of Jack and Susan Rudin and the Skirball Foundation, and of the Corporate Tour Sponsor, TIAA-CREF. Tom Ogle's Vapor Fuel System. From PESWiki aka Oglemobile In 1977, Tom Ogle demonstrated a 351 ci. Ford getting over 100 miles per gallon. He used a multiple vapor system that had a 3 gallon tank.
He received patent number 4,177,779 Dec. 11, 1979, which described "A fuel economy system for an internal combustion engine which, when installed in a motor vehicle, obviates the need for a conventional carburetor, fuel pump and gasoline tank. In 1981, Ogle died at the young age of 26. Is it really possible to get 100 miles per gallon? Considering we live on earth, the basic laws of physics are all we need to analyze and prove (or disprove) such a claim.
Is 100 miles per gallon a plausible claim for a heavy Ford? For the first two parts of our analysis, the resistive forces the vehicle must overcome and the energy the car must exert should not be altered from any other vehicle. Now, the energy part of the analysis is where Ogle made his supposed achievement. Official Website None. US Patent 4,177,779 Abstract Profiles Coverage.
