Introduction “Shift the gear” Got thrills?, Of Course you do, we the automobile enthusiasts always get goosebumps when it comes to gear up or gear down, but ever wonder how is it done? What happens when we pull or push the gear lever? Why there is some cars with no clutch pedals? What makes a […]
Introduction “Mechanical component shows wear and tear” this theory wakes up an engineer’s mind and forces him to innovate more to achieve an ideal system, Since the moving mechanical components cause wear and tear which we count as a limitation of the component, the questions arise, Can we avoid the use of distributor in an

Introduction “From a little spark may burst a flame” by Dante Alighieri, Rightly said that a spark is required to start a flame and in an automobile, since there is a conversion of chemical energy (i.e. air-fuel mixture) into mechanical energy i.e. (crankshaft rotation) spark is essential which is responsible for the combustion, but from

Brakes are very crucial for stopping a vehicle. Without brakes, it is impossible to drive a car or any vehicle. Brakes are of different types and according to the requirement, the types of brakes are chosen for the application. Here we will discuss Disc brake – its main components, working, advantages, and disadvantages with the
If someone ask you a question that can you drive your vehicle without brakes? Then what will be your answer, obviously No. Driving a vehicle without brakes is impossible. Brakes are crucial for stopping a vehicle and driving safely on the road. The use of a proper braking system enhances the handling of the vehicle
The diesel cycle was invented by Rudolph Diesel in 1893. He put forward an idea by which we can attain higher thermal efficiency, with a high compression ratio. All diesel engine works on this cycle. Diesel is used as fuel in this cycle as it can be compressed at a higher compression ratio. It is
The Otto cycle was given by Dr. Nikolaus August Otto. It is a gas power cycle that is used in spark ignition engine (i.e. petrol engines) for its working. The entire modern petrol engine works on Otto cycle. It consists of four processes, Two isentropic (reversible adiabatic) processes and two isochoric (constant volume) processes. It

What is a Compression Ignition (CI) Engine? A compression ignition engine or CI engine is an internal combustion engine in which the ignition of the fuel takes place with the help of hot compressed air. As the air is compressed, it gets hot and its heat is used for the ignition and burning of the

What is Spark Ignition Engine? It is an internal combustion engine in which the ignition of the air-fuel mixture takes place by the spark. The spark is generated with the help of a spark plug. Since in this engine, the spark is responsible for the ignition of the fuel, it is named as spark ignition
Have you ever imagined that gear ratio can be possible without gears? Interestingly right, what if the system creates countless gear ratios? To create an infinite gear ratio is extraordinary thinking but is it possible? Yes, everything is possible when it is a matter of automobiles. The manual gearbox or traditional transmission system has a
