Ned: Gasoline Combustion

Balancing a interview-based documentary of fervent car owners, truck repair, and repurposing a car into a launching pad for drones, Ned is one busy student! He is continuing to negotiate this work, in part, by conducting research into automotive topics such as gasoline combustion.  Combustion, simply put, is the process of burning.  During combustion, a hydrocarbon (or a molecule containing carbon and hydrogen) and oxygen gas combine in a chemical reaction to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Ned recently co-facilitated a miniature combustion in an experiment designed by Matthew Philipose, and now he will pursue the more theoretical side of this process by consulting the video below:
