How Did Relief Valves Make A Gas Turbine Motorbike Possible?
One of the biggest challenges when it comes to relief valve manufacturing is designing valves for use at speed, such as those used with many different types of engines. As these engines are dealing with variable loads and the effects of intense forces, relief valves need to be designed to ensure that the expanding gases that […]
Did A Failed Gas-Powered Engine Revolutionise Motorsport?
Relief valves are an essential part of any internal combustion engine system; without relieving the pressures of rapidly expanding gasses, at some point one of the components will fail, often with explosive consequences. The limits of pressure valves often correlate with the limits of performance, and this was part of the reason why the nuclear-powered […]
What Role Will Biofuel Play In The Transport Revolution?
The role biofuels can play in the UK’s energy mix is an open question in many areas, not least transport. On the one hand, governments here and around the world have set themselves firmly on the path to decarbonisation, although the most prominent element of this has involved the growth of electric vehicles as a […]
Did Pressure Relief Issues Stop The Nuclear-Powered Car?
In the 1950s, during a huge period of technological development, a spirit of optimistic futurism and a belief that a world-changing breakthrough was around every corner, every potential idea seemed to have merit, even ones that in hindsight seem utterly ludicrous. For example, in the 1950s and early 1960s, serious investment and research were placed […]
