Nitrous Oxide, better known as NOS does make your car go faster but it's not that simple. The way it works is as follows, when you heat nitrous oxide to about 570 oF, it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. The injection of nitrous oxide into an engine therefore means more oxygen is available for combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more gasoline, and that means more energy, power and speed. As you will have seen in the film, NOS is fitted to all the high performance cars (Misubishi Evolutions) etc. NOS should only be fitted by a specialist, and it is recommended to be used by one. WARNING Nitrous fitted to smaller engines without modified pistons can blow the engine to pieces!

These questions are based on Gary Paulsen's book called "The Car." This was a very interesting book and I think that any reader would like it. I liked it a lot and I hope that you did too. Do your best and good luck.
