Alternative fuel vehicleAn alternative fuel vehicle is a motor vehicle that runs on alternative fuel rather than traditional petroleum fuels (petrol or petrodiesel). The term also refers to any technology (e.g. electric cars, hybrid electric vehicles, solar-powered vehicles) powering an engine that does not solely involve petroleum. Because of a combination of factors, such as environmental concerns, high oil-prices and the potential for peak oil, development of cleaner alternative fuels and advanced power systems for vehicles has become a high priority for many governments and vehicle manufacturers around the world.
Carburant aviationSuivant le type de propulsion (turbines, moteurs à pistons), les aéronefs brûlent différents types de carburants, dits « carburants aviation ». Les moteurs d'aviation à turbine (turboréacteurs, turbopropulseurs) utilisent des carburants à base de kérosène. En aviation civile, le carburant de ce type le plus répandu est le Jet A-1, défini par la norme internationale AFQRJOS (en), qui gèle au minimum à (car c'est la limite inférieure définie par l'AFQRJOS).
Steam generator (nuclear power)A steam generator (aka nuclear steam raising plant ('NSRP')) is a heat exchanger used to convert water into steam from heat produced in a nuclear reactor core. They are used in pressurized water reactor between the primary and secondary coolant loops. In typical PWR designs, the primary coolant is high-purity water, kept under high pressure so it cannot boil. This primary coolant is pumped through the reactor core where it absorbs heat from the fuel rods.

Une locomotive est un véhicule ferroviaire qui fournit l'énergie motrice d'un train. L'adjectif substantivé est originaire du latin loco - « venant d'un lieu », ablatif de « locus », lieu - et du latin médiéval motivus, « qui provoque le mouvement ».
