siege engine that was employed in the middle ages. It is a modified version of the catapult that uses a counterweight to throw a large stone or blunt object. This means the only power it uses‚ is gravity. This invention brought about the end of knights‚ and castles. It’s usually made out of wood and some other materials‚ so it’s fairly simple to create; which means‚ most if not all societies in the middle ages had one. The trebuchet is often confused with the earlier torsion siege engines. But the

against idling motor vehicle engines is helpful in improving the air quality of Hong Kong‚ there are some exemptions which cannot be avoided. For example : traffic jams occur and all the vehicles will remain stationary but have their engines on. This situation cannot apply to the ban because the drivers are forced to idle their cars and they are not willing to do that‚ so they are not considered to violate the law. Another exemption is that some vehicles need to keep their engines on in order to prevent

As we know the modern car engine is works in the internal combustion so it is call internal combustion engines. But for the older technology‚ they used External Combustion Engines. It is far lower efficiency than internal combustion engines. The steam

This is a Newspaper on Steam engines. The Watt steam engine (alternatively known as the Boulton and Watt steam engine) was the first type of steam engine to make use of steam the new design replaced Newcomen engines in areas where coal was expensive‚ and then went on to be used in the place of most natural power sources such as wind and water. A Scottish instrument maker‚ James Watt‚ was given the job in 1763 of repairing a model Newcomen engine for the University of Glasgow‚ and noted how inefficient

Earliest steam engine was designed and built by a British inventor‚ Thomas Newcomen which was used in mines to pump water that helped the worker to dig deeper and deeper. Steam engine was later redesigned and improved by James Watt. “James Watt‚ the Scottish mechanical engineer and inventor‚ whose inventions played an important role in Industrial revolution”. His redesign on steam engines was used in many other industrial machines such as steamboats and rail roads. When steam engines were redesigned

ABSTRACT Camless internal combustion engines offer major improvements over traditional engines in terms of efficiency‚ maximum torque and power‚ pollutant emissions. Electromechanical valve actuators are very promising in this context‚ but still present significant control problems. Low valve seating velocity‚ small transition time for valve opening and closing‚ unavailability of position sensor are the main objectives to be considered in the design of the valve control system. Actuator physical

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
