How do rc nitro engines work?
Gas-powered remote-control cars provide realistic racing fun. They burn a gasoline-like fuel called nitro (made of methanol, nitromethane and lubricant) with miniature internal combustion engines. The plug’s hot element, combined with the compression of the fuel-air mixture when the piston rises, ignites the fuel.
