Diesel Engines Work? The basic difference between a diesel engine and a gasoline engine is that in a diesel engine‚ the fuel is sprayed into the combustion chambers through fuel injector nozzles just when the air in each chamber has been placed under such great pressure that it’s hot enough to ignite the fuel spontaneously. Following is a step-by-step view of what happens when you start up a diesel-powered vehicle. 1. You turn the key in the ignition. Then you wait until the engine builds

Piston Engines Picture a tube or cylinder that holds a snugly fitting plug. The plug is free to move back and forth within this tube‚ pushed by pressure from hot gases. A rod is mounted to the moving plug; it connects to a crankshaft‚ causing this shaft to rotate rapidly. A propeller sits at the end of this shaft‚ spinning within the air. Here‚ in outline‚ is the piston engine‚ which powered all airplanes until the advent of jet engines. Pistons in cylinders first saw use in steam engines. Scotland’s

Diesel engines are commonly found in commercial vehicles‚ but these engines are also frequently used in passenger cars. Individuals that have recently purchased their first diesel engine vehicle may not be sure of the steps for properly caring for this type of automobile. Fortunately‚ you can use these tips to help make sure that your car’s diesel engine avoids some potentially serious malfunctions.

Knight Engines - Excalibur Engine Parts Role Information for Knight Engines The government has recently invited submissions from the private sector for the supply of one thousand V-16Z (Class A) automobile engines. Although these particular engines only have eight cylinders‚ they can easily duplicate the speed and performance of a sixteen-cylinder engine. Their compact size and durability make them ideal for military operations and it is for this reason that the military has decided to incorporate

Diesel Engines Diesel engines are everywhere; they are used in all sorts of vehicle platforms. From Volkswagen Jetta’s‚ to big eighteen wheel tractor trailer trucks. They provide more torque then a regular gasoline engine because of the long stroke of the piston. Most diesel engines make peak torque at very low rpm. Diesel engines do not have spark plugs. They develop combustion by heating up the air going into the cylinder‚ while the air is heated the fuel injector sprays into the bowl of

Turboprop engines Turboprop engines are a type of aircraft powerplant that use a gas turbine to drive a propeller. The gas turbine is designed specifically for this application‚ with almost all of its output being used to drive the propeller. The engine’s exhaust gases contain little energy compared to a jet engine and play a minor role in the propulsion of the aircraft. The propeller is coupled to the turbine through a reduction gear that converts the high RPM‚ low torque output to low RPM‚

Should the Federal Tax on gasoline increase to help pay for public transportation and road improvements? Gas companies shouldn’t raise their taxes based on the need for money for public transportation because many citizens who live in the U.S. use public transportation instead of buying gas. By them not having to buy gas that will cause those who don’t use public transportation to be forced to pay for something that they don’t use. While doing so those who use the public transportation may reap

WANKEL ENGINE The Wankel engine‚ invented by German engineer Felix Wankel‚ is a type of internal combustion engine which uses a rotary design to convert pressure into a rotating motion instead of using reciprocating pistons. Its four-stroke cycle takes place in a space between the inside of an oval-like epitrochoid-shaped housing and a rotor that is similar in shape to a Reuleaux triangle but with sides that are somewhat flatter. This design delivers smooth high-rpm power from a compact size. Since
