Speaker 1: smart happens. Hi Am Marshall Brain with today's question. Do

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: race cars use gasoline like normal cars do or do

9
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: they use something else? It depends on the type of

10
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: race car you're talking about. For example, Nascar engines burn

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: a hundred and ten octane leaded gasoline, Indie cars burn

12
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: pure methanol also known as wood alcohol, top fuel, dragsters

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: and funny cars burn nitromethane. Each of these fuels has

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: advantages and disadvantages. For example, the methodol fuel used in

15
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,319
Speaker 1: indie cars has the vantage that it can run at

16
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: extremely high compression ratios, meaning more power and the engines

17
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: able to handle turbo charging easily. Methodol also has a

18
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: nice safety feature. You could extinguish a methodol fire with water.

19
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: D ten octane gasoline also handles high compression well. Nitral

20
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: methane is basically a liquid explosive and contains a great

21
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: deal of energy per unit volume. It has more than

22
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: twice the energy is a similar amount of gasoline. Do
