Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION The connecting rod or con rod connects the piston to the crank or crank shaft. Together with the crank, they form a simple mechanism that converts reciprocating motion into rotating motion. As a connecting rod is rigid, it may transmit either a push or a pull and so the rod may rotate the crank through both halves of a revolution, i.e. piston pushing and piston pulling. In modern automotive internal combustion engines, the connecting rods are most usually made of steel for
CONNECTING ROD A connecting rod is an engine component that transfers motion from the piston to the crankshaft and functions as a lever arm. All connecting rods for automotive use need to be lightweight but strong enough to withstand and transmit the thrust from the pistons to an engine's crankshaft. Holes on both ends of a connecting rod are machined to perfectly connect to pistons and the crankshaft. Connecting rods are available in a variety of sizes and materials ideal for certain situations
Most motor vehicles today use an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) to give them power to drive down the road; ICEs are a form of a heat engine. Gasoline is burned to push a piston, which in return forces the car down the road. As the gas in the cylinder is ignited and expanded it forces the piston down the shaft. The force is carried through piston, which is connected to a crankshaft. The force moves through the transmission, down the driveshaft, and out the tires. The Otto Cycle is used to turn

A connecting rod is a machine member which is subjected to alternating direct compressive and tensile forces. Since the compressive forces are much higher than the tensile force, therefore the cross-section of the connecting rod is designed as a strut and the Rankine formula is used. A connecting rod subjected to an axial load F may buckle with x-axis as neutral axis in the plane of motion of the connecting rod, {or} y-axis is a neutral axis. The connecting rod is considered like both ends hinged
From four stroke engines to gas turbine engines, the Otto Company to Rolls Royce, engines and propulsion systems have changed the world we live in for almost one hundred and fifty years. With each passing year, something new arrives; something more complex yet more advanced in the terms of propulsion systems. Even though these systems may seem to¬¬¬ change every year and may seem more complex, the principle behind the structure has remained virtually, the same since the first internal combustion

DIRT BIKES There are two basic types of motorcycles. One type is made for riding on smooth surfaces like roads or paved race tracks. These motorcycles are called road bikes. They are heavier, faster, and more powerful than off-road bikes. Off-road motorcycles, or dirt bikes, are lighter than road bikes. Dirt bikes are built to handle rough terrain like dirt, mud, and rocks. Not all people use dirt bikes for sport. Some people need their dirt bikes for work. “Members of the Royal Canadian
1.0. What is ontology? Basically, the term of ontology is derives from Greek and “onto” meaning and “logos” interpreted as “science”, that’s mean ontology can be understood as a science or study of being. The word can be divided into two senses such as exist an entity thing. Other than that this word is about what to be or to exist. According to Nicola (2009)” the word ontology can be used with different meaning in different communication. John Sowa (1998) study found that subject of ontology is

Thesis statement: All terrain vehicles are helpful and useful and I will explain how they work and how to fix them in this paper. Outline: Inn this paper I will discuss ATV’s and general knowledge and getting them wet. I also will discuss their origin and how they need care and how to keep them doing good for a long time. What is an ATV? It is an All Terrain Vehicle, also called three or four wheelers. It is also called a quad or ATV. An ATV is built to go where other vehicles cannot go. ATV’s
TRANSMISSION Th℮ transmission is a d℮vic℮ that is conn℮ct℮d to th℮ back of th℮ ℮ngin℮. It transmits mechanical power from the engine to the drive wheels. The transmission is used to reduce the revolutions of the crankshaft down to a reasonable value by using interlocking gears to reduce the numb℮r of r℮volutions. By doing so, it mak℮s mor℮ ℮ff℮ctiv℮ usag℮ of th℮ ℮ngin℮'s torqu℮ and h℮lps to k℮℮p th℮ ℮ngin℮ op℮rating at an appropriat℮ sp℮℮d. A transmission or gearbox provides speed and torque conversions
If you are thinking of restoring a vehicle there are many things to remember before you start. First, it won't be cheap by any means, nor will it be fast. It will take lots of work and you should be prepared for the long haul. Also there is many hidden surprises along the way, but at the end it is worth every hour and dollar invested in it. To restore a vehicle, one must understand how to remove, refinish, repair, and replace both interior and exterior parts (Classic Car Restoration for Dummies.)
Cold winters, hot summers, pokey gravel, darkness, inconvenient tools and deterioration of the old hotrods. All of this came to an abrupt hault when a father and son's dream became a reality. A place of our own to operate without distractions. A place to bring our thoughts together and mechanically reconstruct cars and repair them within our own limits. This place that my dad and I started building would be known as "The Shop" or a.k.a. "Hopshop." This shop is the last project that my dad started
between light and shadow, science and superstition and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is a dimension of imagination. It is an area we call The Twilight Zone!” (The Twilight Zone, 4)Those are the words of Rod Serling, an American screenwriter that developed abstract visions and conveyed them to millions. Serling was one of the most influential and creative people of his time. He manipulated common fears, thoughts, suspicions, and ideas to show deeper morals
Ain Ghazal is a Neolithic site in Amman, Jordan, which goes back 8,000 years, and has an amazing history, with left behind human sculptures. This site also has the two oldest temples in the world. Ain Ghazal used to be one of the most populated cities and settled in 7200 BCE, but abandoned in about 5000 BCE. Some remains found at this site include very odd statues that can stand up to 100 centimeters tall, and odd masks. They were all made of plaster, and the masks were made from dead people. Some
Lures are synthetic bait. Trout fishing lures are made to imitate a trout's prey. They are usually made of plastic or metal hooks. You can easily find yourself overwhelmed by the variety of lures available. But, the point is for the fish to be overwhelmed and so entranced that they go after the lure you have chosen. With that in mind, do your research! The lures you choose will attract different types of trout, like rainbow, brook, brown, or lake trout. Use your common sense. If you're fishing in
Salmon Fishing Techniques and Basics Catching salmon is one of the most invigorating outdoor recreation activities that anglers can participate in each year. With salmon fishing season approaching, what better time to discuss salmon fishing techniques and other basic information about this sport. Fishing enthusiasts with an interest in catching this type of fish must understand when salmon season is, how to go about catching salmon in the right manner and even types of bait the fish is drawn to
Fishing to some people may just be fishing. But fishing to the people who have read A River Runs through It some time in their life, is a gift. Whether fishermen use bait, worms, or George's flies it is that much sweeter to catch some trout with a brother under one arm and a father on the other. The river and fishing made such a big impact on the Maclean family that it is the root of this book. The Macleans compared the river to life, went fishing to answer questions, and created a river that
The Importance of the Eyes of a Person's Face in Face Recognition Abstract; The aim of this experiment is to find out if participants can recognise the faces of well known celebrities if the celebrities’ eyes are blacked out and if the eyes of a person’s face are a major factor of face recognition. I predict that the participants will find it easier to recognise the celebrities’ faces in the condition where the eyes are not blacked out more than when the eyes are blacked out. I used
