Usually when we talk about cars, usually petrol or diesel-powered vehicles come to our mind, but do you know that now science and technology have taken a step in a new direction? Yes, now there are cars that run on wine! You won't believe it, but it's true. So let's know today which cars run on wine and what is the science behind it. The idea of wine-powered cars first came up under a research project. Scientists thought that the ethanol present in wine is a type of alcohol that can be used as fuel. Ethanol is a renewable source that can be obtained from agricultural products such as sugarcane, corn, and grapes. By using it, we can reduce our dependence on traditional fossil fuels.
Perhaps Ethanol obtained from wine is a renewable resource, which is safer for the environment. Burning ethanol emits less harmful gases as compared to petrol and diesel. Also, ethanol has high energy capacity, which gives better speed and performance to vehicles.
Some technical changes are required to use ethanol as fuel in wine-powered cars. The engines of these cars are specially modified for ethanol. This means that some parts of the engine have to be strengthened and changes have to be made in the fuel system. You will be surprised to know that ethanol made from wine can be used by filling it directly in the tank, but it needs to be filtered properly. Electronic control systems are used in modern cars, so that the ethanol solution can be set properly.
