if it can help reveal details about fuel injection that haven been seen before. Like its much larger sibling at Cern, the circular particle accelerator at Argonne shoots electrons around its 0. 7-mile (1. 1-km) circumference at a tiny fraction below the speed of light.

Understanding how the fuel is dispersed and mixed when this happens is crucial to making the burning process as efficient as possible.

Injector gadget This process allows the flow of droplets of fuel to be imaged in a way that is not possible with ordinary light or lasers, for example.

just like a jet of fuel sprayed from an injector. ou turn on the headlights and the light just reflects back into your eyes,

Visible light can highlight the outline of fuel spray but not any internal detail. X-rays, on the other hand, can pass through the relatively large droplets of fuel

because their wavelength is much shorter than that of visible light. On a much smaller scale, some of the X-rays are absorbed by the atoms that make up the drops,

The result is a detailed moving image of a jet of fuel in the cylinder that can be presented in various ways, in black and white or in colour.

It is actually a very close up X-ray of the tip of a fuel injector, taken through the injector's steel body.

Another will be the fuel itself. The best bio fuel for aviation is probably butanol, an alcohol

but the fuels they use are still polluting hydrocarbons which come out of the ground. Butanol can be produced by bacteria in biomass

using less fuel in the process. Although no air traffic system is using such signals at the moment,

One of the solutions to cut down on polluting fuels is the use of wind energy. But the rise in wind farms has unintended its own effects.

The harsh reality of economics in a world with a huge demand for fuel have has meant it is too expensive to fight gravity
