vehicle is high for well–to–pump and low for pump–to–wheel. Using E85 can significantly decrease green-house gases.III. EngineThe GM Ecotec L61 2.2L I-4 is a small internal combustion engine (ICE). It ismarginally lighter, more fuel efficient, produces lower emissions and is easier to packagethan many comparable engines. The L61 is the lightest engine GM has produced in itsdisplacement class, and one of the most compact four–cylinder engines available. Thisengine should produce more than 100 kW of power naturally aspirated on E85 andprovide very good fuel efficiency and low emissions over its speed range when operatingon a combination of hydrogen and E85.Ricardo’s WAVE17 software and Gamma technologies GT–Power have been used tostudy the engine

. Thus the investment required to set up laboratory classes would be morereasonable.Now that we know we need no more than one setup to actually conduct the laboratory we canthink of offering laboratory courses for subjects such as High Voltage Engineering, ComputerNumerical Control Laboratory or other specialized subjects. Thus laboratory courses can havejust one satellite terminal at the universities or the place of hardware setup and the students canparticipate in the laboratory by remote access using the Breeze Technology. So now studentscan have real time experience with apparatus that are expensive and have strict detail to safety. Page
