Nats 1510 lecture 6 alternative applications for the internal combustion engine. Considerable innovation in ic engine applications, development of small-bore ic engine. Small-bore ic engines used in snowmobiles, motorcycles, atv"s, motorboats, leaf blowers, lawnmowers. Two varieties: two-stroke and four-stroke, former pollutes more as it mixes oil with its gasoline supply and expels its unburnt fuel. Recreational machines produce noise levels from 85-100 db, hearing loss in operators without protection. Early versions of snowmobile, power sleds, late nineteenth century. Air sleds, tracked sleds 1940"s, recognizable tracked wheel, ski-steering snowmobile design increased in popularity during 1970"s, several million owned. Bombardier"s ski-doo early success, speed and maneuverability. Bombardier increased share of market in 1940"s. Mandatory road clearing lowered demand, diversification: atv"s and all track vehicles. Primary use: recreation, small-bore engine technologies start as utility vehicles and transform into recreational vehicles. 150,000 and 260,000 snowmobiles sold per year today, four primary snowmobile manufacturing interests, 2. 6 million registered snowmobile users worldwide.
