Hi everyone!
This is my first post on these forums. I have successfully passed and secured an all India rank of 396 in IITJEE this year. I am going to study mechanical engineering in IIT Bombay. Hence i need some kind of an insight in this department.
My actual interest was in both, electrical and mechanical. But since i won't be getting electrical in IIT Bombay ( due to the usual high cutoffs ) , i will be getting mechanical there. What i actually want to ask is, being a mechanical engineer, can i think of any future in electrical power generation ?
Also, i am deeply interested in astronomical sciences,so being a mechanical engineer, how can i think of a future in astronomical field?
I am asking about future in other streams for an engineer of another stream, only to satisfy my interests in these fields. Also, which field in mechanical engineering right now is in high demand ? or highly regarded?
Thanks :)

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
