are being bought and sold every day. Diesel engines are very efficient‚ in fact‚ much more efficient than gasoline engines. They are the backbone of the transportation throughout the United States‚ and the world. They power everything from compact cars to locomotives to massive sea barges. Diesel power figuratively makes the world turn.In order to better understand the success of today’s diesel engine‚ one must first look at the origin of the diesel engine. Rudolf Diesel was born in Paris‚ France on

In 1996‚ one car stood out above the rest. With its zero emissions and sporty‚ sleek design‚ the General Motors EV-1 was unstoppable. This car ran entirely without gas or oil of any kind. It ran only on electric power which made it very eco-friendly. It was built to comply with California’s zero emissions vehicle mandate that stated if auto makers wanted to sell cars in California some of those cars would have to be no exhaust

The Future Is Electric‚ Not Oil-powered Cars Electric vehicles are a topic of great importance to the future of GM … and to the future of our country for that matter.. Over the last day and half‚ you’ve heard a number of interesting perspectives about how to address energy independence and climate change … and there are some great vehicles on display here that contribute to the solution to those issues. I’d like to talk about General Motors’ vision … and why we are also inspired to help

the outer diameter of a piston in a reciprocating engine such as an internal combustion engine or steam engine. The principal function of the piston rings is to form a seal between the combustion chamber and the crankcase of the engine. The goal is to prevent combustion gases from passing into the crankcase and oil from passing into the combustion chamber The three main functions of piston rings in reciprocating engines are: 1. Sealing the combustion/expansion chamber. 2. Supporting heat transfer from

a steam-engine motorcycle that was powered by coal called the Roper Steam Velocipede. German‚ Gottlieb Daimler invented the first gasoline-powered motorcycle in 1885. This is considered by most to be the first true motorcycle. Daimler used a four-stroke engine that was invented by Nicolaus August Otto. It was the first four-stroke internal combustion engine (Tank). There are two main types of engines used in the motorcycle industry. They are two-stroke engines and four-stroke engines. The primary

Electric cars have several benefits compared to conventional internal combustion engine automobiles‚ including a significant reduction of local air pollution‚ as they have no tailpipe‚ and therefore do not emit harmful tailpipe pollutants less dependence on foreign oil Next is the hybrid. A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources to move the vehicle. Most hybrids use a combination of a regular car engine and an electric motor. With hybrid cars you have the option

manufacturing of a very small engine‚ namely its head. The engine works under the 4-stroke cycle‚ therefore having a very complex cylinder head‚ housing the camshaft‚ valves and its auxiliaries (seats‚ guides‚ springs)‚ spark plug‚ inlet and exhaust passages and a coolant chamber. The geometries‚ both inner and outer are highly intricate which makes the production of such a part a very difficult job. In addition‚ when the engine is very small‚ as it is the case of this engine‚ all dimensions are miniaturized

much study on cars but there is still much to be learned. Being a DIPLOMA holder in AUTOMOBILE ENGG; I very well know the basics of AUTOMOBILE ENGG. I am well aware about the concepts of body designing‚ engine working and gear mechanism. I can even make a miniature four stroke internal combustion engine which not many guys of my age can make. Chassis making is also a job that fascinates me.Besides this; I also keep an eye on NATIONAL and INTERNATIONAL AUTO EXPO. Especially‚ the Geneva Motor show. It
