 INRODUCTION

It is the modern technology used in automobiles to increase the

power by injecting nitrous oxide into the cylinder.
 HISTORY

Discovered by Joseph Priestley in 1772.

More studies was done by Humphry Davy in the 1790s
and realised that it can be use as an anaesthetic,
particularly by dentists.
 ABOUT NITROUS OXIDE

Nitrous oxide, also known as dinitrogen oxide or

dinitrogen monoxide with chemical formula N2O.
It is commonly known as laughing gas.
Under room conditions it is a colourless non-flammable
gas, with a pleasant slightly sweet odour.
 USES

It can be used as an oxidiser in rocket engine.

It is used in automobiles to increase the power.

It is used in surgery and dentistry for its anaesthetic and

analgesic effects.
NITROUS OXIDE SYSTEM IN
AUTOMOBILES

WET SYSTEM

DRY SYSTEM
 PRINCIPLE

Nitrous Oxide and fuel are injected in to the intake

manifold.
Nitrous cools the intake air.
Nitrous Oxide dissociated in to Nitrogen and Oxygen at
5250 F.
2 N2O ==> 2 N2 + 1 O2
The additional oxygen being forced into the combustion
chamber provides more potential power.

ADVANTAGES OF NITROGEN
OXIDE SYSTEM

offers more power-per-dollar than all known alternatives.

ability to provide instant power.
power level can be varied by changing jets.
unlike cylinder heads and cams etc., the system can be
transferred from vehicle to vehicle.
nitrous oxide system can be easily replaced.
 Limitations

Overheating of cylinder leads to explosion.

Liquid nitrous will cause severe and permanent frostbite
damage to skin.
Inhalation of nitrous oxide can cause suffocation and
immediate death.
The nitrous system is designed to operate at 1100 psi
and exceeding that pressure can cause the engine to
become too lean and cause extensive engine damage.
If a stock fuel system cannot supply enough fuel to the
engine, the mixture will become too lean and severe
engine damage will occur.
Activating the nitrous oxide system may cause an
explosion on engine start-up.
 CONCLUSION

This technology has been implemented in sport vehicles

since it has the ability to provide instant power
whenever needed. Within few years the use of nitrous
oxide in vehicles will be implemented in commercial
vehicles also.
