Ignition Systems: New and Old 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 parts to an ignition system
(alternator)- The generator converts the mechanical energy, which it obtains from the crackshaft through a pulley and belt system, into the electrical energy needed for ignition, lights, and all other electric accessories the vehicla contains. It also recharges the battery. The generator consist of two basic parts: the Field Coils which create the magnetic field and the Armature Winding which rotates in the magnetic field producing a flow of current. It's common to have a fan attached to the generator
over heat and will melt on to hands causing burns to the skin. Prediction I predict that the more coils wrapped around the iron core the stronger the electromagnet will become resulting in more paper clips being picked up. I know this because it says in "GCSE Success Double Award Physics Higher" that to make the magnet field stronger we can increase the current or make the wire into a coil. It also says that if a solenoid is wrapped on to a core made from material such as iron, the strength

The Effect of the Number of Coils on an Electromagnet On Its Strength Aim: - To establish whether a variation in the number of coils will affect an electromagnet's strength. Scientific Knowledge: - The concept of electromagnets is fairly simple. An iron nail wrapped in a series of coils of insulated wire and then connected to a battery, will enable the nail to pick up paper clips. This is because the current emitted from the battery to the coils magnetises the nail. This is known
The Cessna Aircraft Company is an American general aviation aircraft created in 1927 by Clyde Cessna in Wichita, Kansas, which is currently where headquarters located. The Cessna Aircraft Company is best known for small piston-powered aircraft. Cessna 152 first introduced in 1977 after its successor, Cessna 150. Both Cessna 152 and Cessna 150 are an all metal high wing two seat aircraft with fixed tricycle landing gear widely used for flight training and personal use. The Cessna 152 is insignificantly
Spring when put under a load of weights. ================================================================= Theory: Things, which might affect this, are: · Downward force applied to the spring. · Spring material. · Length of spring. · No. of coils in spring. · Diameter of spring material. · Cross sectional area of spring. However, most of these do not come into play, apart from weight, as we are using the same type of weights. Hooke's Law: * Hooke's law states that the extension
and engineer in modern history. One of the inventions he created was a resonate transformer that converts low-frequency energy to high-frequency energy in hopes of one day having wireless energy for all. This sparked my interest in building a Tesla Coil. At the genesis of the idea, I did not have any experience with electricity or engineering. Aside from a public school education, I knew nothing about the theories, methods, or applications behind Tesla Coil’s or electricity in general. All I knew
Internal combustion engines gain repelling force by high pressure, which composed of combustion of the fuel in the combustion chamber. Depending on this repelling force ,piston starts to move and it supplies the engine power to the required mechanical elements so, runs the vehicle. This is the working principle of internal combustion engines. In other words, internal combustion engines are the machines, which turn fuel’s chemical energy before turning mechanical energy. Combustion occurs inside
Chainsaws have been around for ages but some things never change A chainsaw can make a woodpile more manageable, it can be a savior after a natural disaster, and it can clear a piece of land quicker than anything on earth can. They have been around since around 1926 and most of us remember the name of McCulloch, which was the chainsaw for most of North America. However, with all the advancements in chainsaw technology, one thing still plagues their users to this very day. How to get the
first practical internal combustion engine. Three years later in 1863 Lenoir built one of the worlds first gas engine cars. Ignition System Have you ever wondered how turning a simple key will start a car? Well, I'll tell you. When you turn the key a small voltage from the cars battery is sent to the coil. The coil turns the small voltage into a large voltage. Then the coil sends the the voltage to the distributor. The distributor has heavy wires that send the voltage to each spark plug. The
Internal Combustion Engines Introduction Internal Combustion Engine, a heat engine in which the fuel is burned ( that is, united with oxygen ) within the confining space of the engine itself. This burning process releases large amounts of energy, which are transformed into work through the mechanism of the engine. This type of engine different from the steam engine, which process with an external combustion engine that fuel burned apart from the engine. The principal types of internal combustion
EXPERIMENT NO. 8 AIM: Determination of Viscosity of Lubricating oil at different temperatures by Redwood Viscometer No.1 or 2 THEORY: Viscosity is one of the most important properties of lubricating oil. The formation of a constant fluid film of a lubricating between the moving surface under particular condition of load, speed and lubricant supply is depend upon the viscosity of lubricating oil. If the viscosity of the oil is too low the fluid lubricant film cannot be maintained between the moving
Atomic Emission spectroscopy is a technique used in the determination and quantification of elements present with a chosen sample. The basic idea of this process it that first an atom is formed, and then it is excited then emitted. After the photon is emitted and energy is released knowing the energy released one can quantitatively and qualitatively determine the wavelength present and hence the concentration of the element. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry is one of the most
Imposing even when not in motion, monster trucks of today are high-octane mechanisms of mayhem. The evolution of these arena-filling creations garners great interest within the auto culture, given the capacity for performance today’s formidable monster trucks possess. Modified trucks emerged as sideshow entertainment, but today the industry’s grandest machines fill some of the nation’s most sizable venues with their gravity-defying feats, as families marvel at the bedlam on display when truck capabilities

the 2 stroke engine. He had some business misfortune and he was trying to find a new way to make a new source of income. Karl Benz had patent several different engine parts such as the speed regulator system, the water radiator, the spark plug, the ignition using spark with the battery, the carburetor, the clutch, the gear
Introduction and background history Vauxhall was founded in 1857 by Alexander Wilson and they began manufacturing vehicles in 1903. Then Vauxhall was bought out by GM (General Motors) in 1925. The German Adam Opel AG is also owned by GM (General Motors). The original Vauxhall Corsa models were first introduced in 1993. Then they had a facelift from April 1997 onwards. The Vauxhall Corsa C was revealed in 1999 and then it was released in Europe in 2000. The chassis of the Corsa was nicknamed Gamma
Fission or Fusion I think that right now, fission is the only way that we can get more energy out of a nuclear reaction than we put in. First, the energy per fission is very large. In practical units, the fission of 1 kg (2.2 lb) of uranium-235 releases 18.7 million kilowatt-hours as heat. Second, the fission process initiated by the absorption of one neutron in uranium-235 releases about 2.5 neutrons, on the average, from the split nuclei. The neutrons released in this manner quickly cause the
