DEFINING MAXIMUM SPEED OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY USING THE GENERATOR GAS

Maximum speed of agricultural machinery using the generator gas can be defined by solving the equation of automobile’s power balance. The error in determining the index of traction and speed characteristics does not exceed 8%. Reducing of this error can be made by defining the coefficient of streamlining and wheels rolling resistance more precisely in calculations. The usage of gas-turbine supercharger for supplying the air-gas mixture to the engine cylinders of gas-generating automobiles increases their maximum speed to the level of petrol ones. But the complication of construction and work of gas-generating rig with gas-turbine supercharger leads to the decrease of reliability and engine running of such automobiles
