What else can a car burn besides gasoline?

Cars can also burn methanol. In fact, high-concentration alcohol can also be used in cars, as well as liquefied gas, gas, biofuels and so on. , can be used for engines. There are even some solid engines, such as those burning wood powder, but the overall performance is not as good as that of gasoline engines. Seriously, cars have many fuels besides gasoline, such as hydrogen, electric energy, methanol fuel, ethanol fuel and natural gas fuel, but you can't use these because they don't have such a strong stomach.

In fact, water can also be decomposed into other gases as fuel, but the equipment will be large and inefficient, and the explosive power and calorific value of key combustion are not good, and the power is not good. For example, natural gas, such as ethanol, such as methanol, especially methanol, can be used. Geely developed a gasoline/methanol dual-fuel car, Yuchai developed a methanol engine, and I have a patent for gasoline/methanol dual-fuel cold start. Methanol is a liquid similar to gasoline, which is convenient for transportation and storage. Most importantly, China has a lot of coal, and it is cheaper to make methanol from coal, saving nearly 50% of the money compared with gasoline. Saving money is king. Second, the production and manufacturing process is simple; third, it is convenient for storage and transportation; fourth, it is easy to burn, with high burning speed and large explosion energy; fifth, it is in a gas or liquid state; sixth, the final product of combustion has no harmful substances; and seventh, it is convenient and fast to use.

When gasoline burns, the explosive force in the engine is strong and stable, and there are few combustible residues. The ignition point of diesel oil is lower than that of gasoline, so the power of diesel engine is sufficient. However, the throttle is loose and the oil in the engine has not been completely burned. It is normal for a car to run on a flat road with natural gas. Once it is a low-grade uphill, the power is insufficient. In fact, we all know that automobile fuels are gasoline and diesel, and we have a wider understanding of gasoline. Because gasoline is particularly dangerous and flammable, which is why gasoline, as one of the main fuels of the engine, cannot be used as fuel, so it cannot provide energy. Unless solar energy is used to generate electricity, electrolyzed water can use the generated hydrogen as fuel. In that case, it is better to use solar energy directly to generate electricity and make an electric car.
