6. Necessity of Heat/Energy for fire heat breaks long molecules down to turn them to shorter molecules Pyrolysis is a reaction with oxygen Pyrolys needs heat for the fuel to begtin to burn Site: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_heat_needed_to_start_a_fire http://www.wmo.int/pages/publications/meteoworld07/_archive/en/june2007/images/HEAT_WAVE_072605.jpg

7. Cooktop and the Fire Triangle The triangle shows that to make a fire burn fire needs three elements: Heat Fuel Oxidizing element Fire can be kept away or put out by taking an element Site:http://johnosoriobuck.com/stove.htm http://www.geappliances.com/products/introductions/cooktops/gas/images/044147.jpg

8. Combustion Engine is an engine like: automotive gasoline piston engine or a diesel In the engine proper fuel is burned Site: http://www.answers.com/topic/internal-combustion-engine

9. How Combustion Engine Works Fuel fills a chamber and then is set fire by a spark Spark makes a small explosion that produces it to work Site: http://www.wisegeek.com/how-does-an-internal-combustion-engine-work.htm

10. Nascarsvs. Street Cars The displacement is larger Their intake and exhaust are tuned and give a boost to the car at certain engine speeds The coolant pumps, oil pumps, steering pumps and alternators are made at continuous high speed and temperature Site: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question588.htm http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/Sports/images-2/nascar-race-2.jpg

11. Nitrous Oxide Helping Engines When vaporized, nitrous makes a cooling effect on the air took in Reducing the air temperature increases the air's density and gives even more oxygen inside the cylinder.
