Q: How does nitrous work? A: Nitrous oxide is made up of 2 parts nitrogen and one part oxygen (36% oxygen by weight). During the combustion process in an engine, at about 572 degrees F., nitrous breaks down and releases oxygen. This extra oxygen creates additional power by allowing more fuel to be burned.
haha, last week i tried to drain the battery as fast as I could. set my brightness to full, left a Flashlight app on, then had music playing. it actually took an hour to drain though, i was getting a bit impatient. I think using the GPS for navigation would be a quick way to run the battery down :) +1.
Scott Briasco, of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Powerâs EV program, said that more than half of the 20,000 plug-in EVs in the utilityâs service area are charging this way. It isnât fast. Most cars charge at the rate of about 4 to 5 miles of range per hour. So, a mid-range vehicle like the Chevy Volt, with an all-electric range of 50 miles or so, will take 10 hours to completely recharge its battery. This kind of charging is relatively inexpensive and requires no special equipment.
