SPARK PLUG
Spark plug is a device used to produce electric spark to ignite the compressed air fuel mixture inside the cylinder. The spark plug is screwed in the top of the cylinder so that it electrode project in the combustion chamber. SPARK PLUG Construction A spark plug comprises three main parts: the housing, insulator, and electrodes….
Need of a Differential
Car wheels spin at different speeds, especially when turning. Each wheel travels a different distance through the turn, and that the inside wheels travel a shorter distance than the outside wheels. Since speed is equal to the distance travelled divided by the time it takes to go that distance, the wheels that travel a shorter…
Comparison between MacPherson Double Wishbone Suspension Systems
Two of the most popular suspensions systems for passenger cars today are the double wishbone suspension system and the MacPherson strut suspension system. While it is more usual to see the double wishbone system at the rear end of the car, MacPherson’s solution normally finds its place at the front end of the car. Both…
Anti-Lock Braking System
Anti-Lock Braking System is a safety system that allows the wheels on a motor vehicle to continue interacting tractively with the road surface as directed by driver steering inputs while braking, preventing the wheels from locking up (that is, ceasing rotation) and therefore avoiding skidding. A skidding wheel (where the tire contact patch is sliding relative to the road) has less traction than a non-skidding wheel. If you…
