A milestone in World Technology


















The picture shows the smallest petrol engine invented by the engineers of Birmingham University.

This tiny engine can run for two years on a single squirt of lighter fuel.

This petrol engine which is less than a centimetre in length produces energy 700 times more than a conventional battery. This engine can be used to operate laptops and mobile phones.

Engineers those who tried to develop such engines earlier faced the problem of enormous heat produced by the engine itself. That is, the engines burned themselves due to the heat they produced.

The engineers of Birmingham University overcame this problem by using heat-resistant materials such as ceramic and silicon carbide.


Experts says that, after six years from now the devices which need recharging or new batteries will be a thing of past due to this invention!.
