Ignition Systems: New and Old Jeff Tuttle Period 3 9/9/04 Ignitions systems in motor vehicles have evolved in the past thirty years. Points was a simple concept but was not reliable and needed adjustment and replacement of components seemed constant. Today a magnetic sensor relays a signal to the computer which in turn sends the voltage to the selected cylinder to ignite the fuel/air mixture. There are not mechanical parts to fail or become corroded and brittle. There are many different

Introduction To Yamaha Company The Japanese company was well known for its musical instruments‚ but in 1955 it began producing motorcycles. It began with simple and inexpensive machines but has grown to its position as a power sports powerhouse‚ offering some of the best sport bikes‚ cruisers and off-road bikes on the market. It ranks second only to Honda as the leader among Japanese manufacturers. At 1851 Torakusu Yamaha is born. He will train as a watchmaker and make his first reed organ in his

1.INTRODUCTION Quasi turbine is a zero vibration continuous combustion rotary engine having four faces articulated rotor with a free and accessible centre rotating without vibration nor dead time and producing a strong torque at low rpm under a variety of modes and fuels. The quasi turbine is also an optimization theory for extremely compact efficient engine concept. It is a new engine concept from Canada which offers a design similar to that

Gas Compressor Brief Introduction A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Compressors are similar to pumps: both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid through a pipe. As gases are compressible‚ the compressor also reduces the volume of a gas. Liquids are relatively incompressible‚ so the main action of a pump is to pressurize and transport liquids. Types of Compressors Centrifugal compressors Centrifugal

The invention was first thought up by Rudolph Diesel in 1892. He wanted to create an engine that would be more efficient than the steam engine‚ which was only 12% efficient. He filed for a patent in Germany in February of 1892. He was granted a patent for a “Working Method and Design for Combustion

When the piston rotates after this conversion of energy‚ it turns a crankshaft creating a rotational force of mechanical energy sending this rotation to the transmission‚ which allows the motorcycle to spin the back wheel.

The earliest internal combustion engine used in a system that rose to fame was the four stroke cycle‚ where an internal combustion engine is a heat engine in which the burning of fuel occurs within the confined space of an engine’s combustion chamber. Expanding hot gases act directly onto pistons‚ rotors and sometimes the whole engine to cause movement. The internal combustion engine(14) The four-stroke engine was one of the earliest improvements made to internal combustion engines in the late 1800s

A diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition engine and sometimes capitalized as Diesel engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition to burn the fuel‚ which is injected into the combustion chamber. This is in contrast to spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline)‚ which uses a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. The engine was developed by Rudolf Diesel
