NOS! Need i say more?….
We all know and love those 3 little letters that include NOS! Yes we strive to soop our cars up on the gas in order for it to literally FLY!!!
But have you ever wanted to know exactly what it is???
Well, Nitrous Oxide – commonly known as ‘laughing gas’, is a colour-less non flammable chemical compound that is used as an oxidizer in rocketry and motor racing engines to increase power output.
It has 310 times more impact per unit weight than carbon dioxide, and is prepared by carefully heating ammonium nitrate which decomposes into water vapor and nitrous oxide.
And now for the exciting part!!!…
Nitrous allows an engine to burn more air and fuel, thus resulting in higher power combustion.
It delivers more oxygen than atmospheric air enforcing breakdown at extremely high temperatures, although it is not a flammable liquid.
As it is compressed, the expansion of liquid nitrous in the manifold causes a drop in temperature in the intake charge – the results are a denser charge, allowing more mixture of air and fuel into the cylinder.
In some cases, it can actually produce enough power to seriously damage or destroy an engine.
Wow! Now thats Power!!!…
