A clutch is a mechanical device which is used in automobile application to engage and disengage power transmission especially from a driving shaft to driven shaft. In easy words, clutches physically disconnect the flywheel (connected to the engine) from the gearbox (connected to wheels). Types of clutches: There are various types of clutches used for […] More
An electric vehicle or EV is a type of vehicle which uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. It may be powered through a collector system by electricity from off-vehicle sources, or may be self-contained with battery or an electric generator to convert fuel to electricity. Tesla is going to launch Electric Vehicles in […] More
What are Hybrid Vehicles? Hybrid Vehicle is a vehicle that utilizes more than one fuel sources or two or more different fuel sources to operate and to move the vehicle or a hybrid vehicle is a vehicle wherein the means of propulsion is by engine which is a combination of IC( internal combustion engine petrol/diesel) […] More
In today’s time, the technology has become advance. It is offering us the right performance which was not available at earlier time. Bikes of today’s time gives us the raw power, right amount of torque, and the pleasure to ride the bike. But how to increase fuel efficiency. Mileage is a strong decision maker when […] More
In this informative article on Turbochargers we will discuss about the function, working, parts, advantages, disadvantages and finally the applications of a turbocharger. Starting with- Function of a Turbocharger A turbocharger (commonly known as turbo) is a device used in vehicles to force air into an internal combustion engine to improve the power output with same […] More
A supercharger is an air compressor that increases the pressure or density of air supplied to an internal combustion engine. This gives each intake cycle of the engine more oxygen. It lets the engine burn more fuel and do more work, thus increasing power. So if more air is forced & compressed into the cylinder, […] More
Automatic transmission Basics : An automatic transmission or automatic gearbox is a type of motor vehicle transmission which automatically changes gear ratios while the vehicle is moving thus reducing the driver’s effort to shift gears manually. Like other transmission systems seen on other vehicles automatic transmission allows IC Engine to run at relatively high speed […] More
The brakes or the system of braking mechanism which are operated and applied by liquid or oil pressure from controlling mechanism to braking mechanism in order to slow down or completely stop the vehicle is known as hydraulic brakes. In simple language, hydraulic brakes are brakes which uses oil pressure for braking action. In this […] More
What are Air Brakes? Air brake system is a type of braking system which uses compressed air to apply the pressure in order to stop the vehicle. Air brakes are also known as pneumatic brakes. The first air brake was invented by George Westinghouse, he introduced this type of brake for the use in trains. […] More
Engine oil: Engine oil is a type of lubricant which is used to lubricate the internal components of IC Engine. It is quenched by oil pump to all the internal moving parts of the engine. Engine oil are present in large varieties in the market with specified volume (like 900ml,1 litre, 1.15 litre, etc). Main […] More
Fig: Drum Brakes Basics of Drum Brakes: Drum brakes is a type of mechanical braking system that uses friction caused by a set of shoes( a.k.a brake shoe) that presses outwards against a rotating brake drum. The braking action is caused inside of a brake drum thus, giving it a name ‘Drum Brake’. They need […] More
Fig: Disc Brake of Bike Basics of Disc Brake: A disc brake is a type of braking system in automobiles that uses calipers to squeeze pairs of brake pads against the rotor/disc to create friction and reduce the motion of vehicle or to completely stop it. When braking action occurs the kinetic energy is directly […] More
