ting. When you burn a log in an open fireplace, the energy efficiency is on average 10 to 15%. This means that 85-90% of the energy provided by the combustion of the log is lost. In contrast, inserts and closed hearth stoves have energy efficiency of 70 to 85%. Some pellet stoves even have an ...
cles have been concentrated in the atmosphere, literally "shielding" the warming caused by solar radiation. During the same period, pollution due to the combustion of fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal), warmed the atmosphere. The combination of the two (aerosols and combustion) cancelled out their opposi ...
en dirty, this filter limits the amount of air that enters the engine. As a result, your engine will use more gasoline or diesel fuel to get the same combustion. To avoid this problem and excess fuel consumption, it is recommended that you replace the air filter every 12,000 to 20,000 km. Rem ...

whether natural or artificial. These pyrotechnic accessories can be used outdoors and indoors, provided that the room is ventilated because their combustion gives off acrid smoke containing chlorine and microparticles. 5- When should I use sparklers? Magic sparklers are very simple to use an ...
rbecue. However, its shape and material allow for a reduction in the amount of charcoal needed by concentrating the heat and ensuring a slow and even combustion of the charcoal. The thickness of the ceramic prevents heat loss. But don't worry: your summer grilling won't be dry, as this funny egg-sh ...
ame composed of 42 cards that participants must associate. Each of these cards represents an aspect of global warming, such as glacier melting or the combustion of fossil fuels, for example.

ttle longer, even with e-liquid containing nicotine, than to start smoking again. Vaping is less harmful than cigarettes because it does not involve combustion.

nd passengers enjoy smoother driving without vibrations. 3- An electric vehicle is cleaner. It goes without saying, an electric car is cleaner than a combustion engine car. When it runs, it emits no CO2 or any other greenhouse gases and generates almost no fine particles. In electric models, the fi ...
oven must be used to transform about 4 tons of organic matter into 1 ton of this vegetable charcoal with amazing properties. During this process, the combustion of forest or agricultural residues at around 500°C and without oxygen carbonizes the biomass without burning it. Thus, CO2 is not release ...
