	Little Engine That Could
		Write their responses, encouraging students to spell out loud the words 'is', 'for', and the color words.
		Encourage students to think and compare themselves to the little blue engine in the story.
		Then let students orally share one thing that they thought would be very hard to either do or learn in Kindergarten, but with practice they are now able to do it successfully - something they are proud of.

	MIT's pint-sized car engine promises high efficiency, low cost - MIT News Office
		When the engine is working hard and knock is likely, a small amount of ethanol is directly injected into the hot combustion chamber, where it quickly vaporizes, cooling the fuel and air and making spontaneous combustion much less likely.
		Second, the engine can be designed with a higher compression ratio (the ratio of the volume of the combustion chamber after compression to the volume before).
		If all goes as expected, within five years vehicles with the new engine could be on the road, using an alternative fuel to replace a bit of gasoline and make more efficient use of the rest.

	The Little Engine That Could…. And Did
		The B-17G was equipped with a Wright Cyclone R-1820-97, a nine cylinder radial engine with 1,000 GP.
		The R-1820-97 was not considered a frugal engine for fuel, although fuel consumption during World War II days was not a factor as it is today.
		And this went not only for the engine, the airplane, and the time, but also for the men who were there to maintain service and change those Cyclones.

	Digital Crusader: The Little Engine That Could
		By injecting a little bit of ethanol during the compression stroke of a regular 4-cycle ICE, these researchers have managed to reduce engine knocking.
		By shrinking the engine down to the old power levels, they again make it more efficient - they claim the net effect is a 20-30% efficiency gain and an engine half the regular size.
		Thousands of little explosions per minute is not a "smart" way to move anything around, and all of the stuff that we're doing above looks increasingly to me like the epicycles that were added in ever greater layers to the Ptolemaic system of astronomy.

	The Little Engine That Could
		Chevrolet produced its first V-8 engine in 1917, a 288-cid, 55hp model called the Series D. The engine had overhead valves and cross-flow heads, but it was a little pricey for the day.
		Until the development of the LT1 engine in the 1990s, the small-block adapted to whatever it needed to be.
		The development of the Chevy small-block allowed racers from several generations to compete using basically the same engine, and it allowed the tricks of the trade in engine tuning to be passed on via a somewhat level playing field.

		Moving forward a century plus, a West Springfield company, the Scuderi Group, has developed a “split-cycle” engine that could become the linchpin of automotive manufacturing for the next century - if its claims are proved when a prototype of the engine is completed and tested in the summer of 2007.
		Other engine specialists who have seen a description of the Scuderi engine are taking the position that the proof is in the pudding.
		Jaal Ghandi, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Wisconsin’s Engine Research Center, said the concept of the split-cycle engine is not new.

		As such they are a little out of sync with the prim and proper style of writing in the story about the good little boys and girls on the other side of the mountain [who will be] without the wonderful toys to play with and the good food to eat….
		Chances are the unassuming Little Blue Engine never expected such a handsome showcase, even for her finest hour, but this edition provides a brilliant new setting that many readers will prefer to the original picture book.
		While I could be wrong, I think Watty Piper deserves the benefit of the doubt and perhaps she will be open to making some editorial changes to correct an apparent sexist slant in future editions.

		The engine's faultless operation made the difference not only between a relatively simple moon shot and last week's sophisticated mission, but also between life and death for the astronauts.
		Had the SPS engine failed to ignite, or burned too briefly during the attempt to place Apollo into lunar orbit, the spacecraft would have looped around the back of the moon and headed directly back toward earth.
		If the engine had cut off during one crucial 30-second interval of the scheduled burn, Apollo would have been left in an unstable orbit and crashed into the surface of the moon.

		The development of a fuel-powered miniature engine, touted as a more efficient and longer lasting alternative for the battery, may push the Energizer Bunny to the unemployment lines.
		Weighing less than a gram, the engine is constructed from eight wafers of diffusion-bonded silicon and consists of a combustion chamber that ignites hydrogen and shoots hot gas past a spinning turbine that powers the compressor to drive the machinery.
		The engine's tiny components -– the bearings, chambers and turbine -- are precision etched onto the silicon.

	In Search of Watty Piper: A Brief History of the "Little Engine" Story
		A little railroad engine was employed about a station yard for such work as it was built for, pulling a few cars on and off the switches.
		As noted earlier, Platt and Munk stated that The Little Engine that Could was based on the Pony Engine by Mabel C. Bragg, a noted Boston educator in the field of health education.
		In the Little Switch Engine (1912) the little engine is identified as "he." The Little Steam Engine (1911) and both the My Book House and Watty Piper versions of Little Engine that Could (1920, 1930) have the big engines as male and the small engine as female.

		You could just as easily use a Shelby Charger, although you'd be burdening yourself with 100-pound weight increase (and no headroom for 6-footers).
		You could really start with any 5-speed 2.2L L-body, although you'd want to bring the car up to GLH/Shelby specs first: brakes, suspension, steering rack, (fast ratio), hubs, wheels, and tires are a few of the obvious differences.
		You could conceivably cut off the original one and reweld it in the right spot, but Dave took the easy way out, welding on the new bracket shown on the parts list.
