Automotive Ignition Systems

The continuing rotation of the crankshaft drives the piston back up, ready for the next cycle. The piston moves in a reciprocating motion, which is converted into circular motion of the crankshaft, which ultimately propels the car. Gas engines usually have about the same about of horsepower as they do torque. The diesel engine usually has twice as much torque as it does horsepower, thus it is the better hill climber and load carrier.

Equally important as the air, is the fuel going into the cylinder. Fuel starts off in the gas tank of the car and then gets pumped into the fuel lines by the fuel pump. The fuel goes through the fuel lines and into the fuel rail. Attached to the fuel rail are electronically controlled injectors (one per cylinder), which are controlled by the mass air sensor. The mass air senor regulates how much fuel is necessary to mix with the air to achieve the ideal air to fuel ratio. The injectors "spray" into the cylinder at synchronized times mixing with air and eventually resulting in combustion.

A. A gas engine uses spark to ignite gasoline while a diesel engine uses compressed air to ignite the diesel fuel.

The common problem which researcher’s faced was, they directly supplied the HHO gas in the carburetor. This HHO gas enters the carburetor at a certain temperature and with some traces of water in form of vapors. Both the outcome can be easily controlled by a simple unit. These problems are caused by the heat generation due to reaction happening through the electrolysis process inside the container. Some researchers have sprayed water to control the pre-ignition but eventually was in vain.

A car fueled by a typical gasoline engine runs differently than an electric. Instead of having a battery to power the engine, the car uses an internal combustion unit to propel the car. The gasoline that the owner adds to the vehicle is heated by the combustion unit and is mixed with oxygen to power the engine. When the driver pushes the pedal down, that activates the combustion unit.

An automotive engine extracts work from its chemical fuel by burning that fuel inside its cylinders and making the resulting burned gas do work on the engine. Most engines have at least four cylinders, each of which requires four strokes of the piston to extract work from the fuel. During the induction stroke, a piston moves out of the cylinder and the fuel and air enter it. During the compression stroke, the piston moves into the cylinder, compressing this fuel-air mixture to high density, pressure and temperature. An electric spark then ignites the mixture and converts it into extremely hot burned gas. During the power stroke, the piston again moves out of the cylinder while the hot gas does work on it. This work is what powers the car. Finally, during the exhaust stroke, the piston moves into the cylinder and

Place the stick shift in neutral, hold down the clutch with your left foot and press down on the brake with your right foot. Once the car starts, then remove your foot from the clutch.

You turn the key in the ignition, making the battery start to push a very specific amount of fuel into each cylinder. It then

inventions that seem to be forever changing is technology. More specific, automobile technologies. For instance, the Ford Model T when created in 1908, was mostly a metal shell with the basic controls for movement with no other technology. Throughout the years there were conveniences such as air conditioning, heaters, radio, and power windows and power locks. Nowadays it seems automakers are more concerned in technology than anything else. These technologies now range from accident avoidance systems to even wireless internet, but at what point do we say it has gone too far? I believe these technologies have already gotten out of control. There just seems to be more distractions being created than being taken away.

In 1989 my grandparents started up our family business it started out as a turbo shop they ran it for many years. In 1999 my dad took it over and over the years its grew and got bigger and started doing more diesel related parts. This business had been in our family for a long time and when I get out of school I plain to take it over.

In this section, I will focus on stakeholder analysis of General Motors ignition switch scandal. General Motors cars caused more than 124 deaths because of Defective ignition switches. After this scandal, the company called 2.6 million vehicles back and faced tens of lawsuits (Titcomb, 2014). If ignition switch shuts off whilst driving the vehicle, it can cause "disabling the airbag, power steering and power breaks" and pose the risk for driver and passengers. The most important fact is that General Motors recognised the problem before the scandal appeared. (Isidore & Perez, 2015).

The focus of this paper is to highlight the human response in relation to an action, in this case turning the key in an ignition, once it has been inserted into the correct ignition hole for the vehicle. The aim is to identify the brain response with the haptic perceptions and to a lesser extent the visual perceptions that are involved when completing the instruction set.

Flywheel – The flywheel creates a rotating mass with a large moment of inertia connected to the crankshaft. The main purpose of the flywheel is to store the energy and supply a large angular momentum that keeps the engine rotating between the power strokes, and also smoothing out the engine operation. [1]

Then you wait until the engine builds up enough heat in the cylinders for satisfactory starting. (Most vehicles have a little light that says “Wait,” but a sultry computer voice may do the same job on some vehicles.) Turning the key begins a process in which fuel is

The piston then travels down pulling in fresh air, (third stroke), after the piston bottoms again it travels up compressing the fresh air, (fourth stroke). The fuel is then injected and one cycle is completed in 720 degrees or two full rotations of the crankshaft.
