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
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
A four-stroke (also four-cycle) engine is an internal combustion (IC) engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes while turning the crankshaft, unkine two stroke engine which works on two cycle. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston along the cylinder, in either direction. This type of engine works on otto cycle. […] More
Fuel Injection or FI is the introduction of fuel in an Internal Combustion Engine by the means of an injector known as fuel injector. Fuel injectors are electronically controlled mechanical devices that are responsible for spraying (injecting) the right amount of fuel into the engine, so that a suitable air/fuel mixture is created for optimal […] More
Two-stroke (or two-cycle) engine is a type of internal combustion engine which completes a power cycle with two strokes (up and down movements) of the piston during only one crankshaft revolution. As the name suggests two stroke engine has only two cycles. Two stroke engine can be of either petrol or diesel type. This is […] More
