Cart

A cart is a vehicle designed for transport, using two wheels and normally pulled by one or a pair of draught animals.

Continuous track

Continuous track, also called tank tread or caterpillar track, is a system of vehicle propulsion in which a continuous band of treads or track plates is driven by two or more wheels.

Cycle rickshaw

The cycle rickshaw is a small-scale local means of transport; it is also known by a variety of other names such as bike taxi, velotaxi, pedicab, bikecab, cyclo, beca, becak, trisikad, or trishaw.

Electric motor

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Engine

An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one form of energy into mechanical energy.

New!!: Ground propulsion and Engine · See more »

Engine efficiency

Engine efficiency of thermal engines is the relationship between the total energy contained in the fuel, and the amount of energy used to perform useful work.

New!!: Ground propulsion and Engine efficiency · See more »

Fuel cell

A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through an electrochemical reaction of hydrogen fuel with oxygen or another oxidizing agent.

New!!: Ground propulsion and Fuel cell · See more »

Internal combustion engine

An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a heat engine where the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit.

Motor vehicle

A motor vehicle is a self-propelled vehicle, commonly wheeled, that does not operate on rails, such as trains or trams and used for the transportation of passengers, or passengers and property.

Powertrain

In a motor vehicle, the term powertrain or powerplant describes the main components that generate power and deliver it to the road surface, water, or air.

New!!: Ground propulsion and Powertrain · See more »

Propulsion

Propulsion means to push forward or drive an object forward.

Rickshaw

A Rickshaw originally denoted a two or three-wheeled passenger cart, now known as a pulled rickshaw, which is generally pulled by one man carrying one passenger.

Steam engine

A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid.

New!!: Ground propulsion and Steam engine · See more »

Stirling engine

A Stirling engine is a heat engine that operates by cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas (the working fluid) at different temperatures, such that there is a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work.

New!!: Ground propulsion and Stirling engine · See more »

Train

A train is a form of transport consisting of a series of connected vehicles that generally runs along a rail track to transport cargo or passengers.

New!!: Ground propulsion and Train · See more »

Transmission (mechanics)

A transmission is a machine in a power transmission system, which provides controlled application of the power.

New!!: Ground propulsion and Transmission (mechanics) · See more »

Transport

Transport or transportation is the movement of humans, animals and goods from one location to another.

New!!: Ground propulsion and Transport · See more »

Turbine

A turbine (from the Latin turbo, a vortex, related to the Greek τύρβη, tyrbē, meaning "turbulence") is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work.

New!!: Ground propulsion and Turbine · See more »

Vehicle

A vehicle (from vehiculum) is a machine that transports people or cargo.

New!!: Ground propulsion and Vehicle · See more »

Wagon

A wagon (also alternatively and archaically spelt waggon in British and Commonwealth English) is a heavy four-wheeled vehicle pulled by draught animals or on occasion by humans (see below), used for transporting goods, commodities, agricultural materials, supplies and sometimes people.

Wheel and axle

The wheel and axle are one of six simple machines identified by Renaissance scientists drawing from Greek texts on technology.
