what is KERS ?


  • The kers stand for Kinetic Energy Recovery System
  • it is an automotive system for recovering a moving vehicles kinetic energy under braking or we can say that it recovers the kinetic energy present in waste i.e. heat generated when we apply brake.

Note : It is used by formula one & racing car company & in future it will be used by commercial car company.

GEARS
Gear is a mechanical instrument having toothed section generally used for transferring torque, force from one part of machine to another part of machine.

BACKLASH
It is a minimum distance between the two mating teeth in motion when the gear is driving the pinion.
       Sometime it is also called as LASH or PLAY.
"In a pair of gears backlash is the amount of clearance between mated gear teeth".
Theoretically, the backlash should be zero, but in actual practice some backlash must be allowed to prevent JAMMING.
The other reason for backlash is allowing for lubrication, manufacturing errors, deflection under load and expansion.

Introduction
A differential is a device, usually, but not necessarily, employing gears, which is connected to the outside world by three shafts, through which it transmits torque and rotation. The gears or other components make the three shafts rotate in such a way that a=pb+qc, where a,  b, and c are the angular velocities of the three shafts, and p and q are constants. Often, but not always, p and q are equal, so a is proportional to the sum (or average) of  b and c.
In automobiles and other wheeled vehicles, a differential allows the driving road wheels to rotate at different speeds. This is necessary when the vehicle turns, making the wheel that is travelling around the outside of the turning curve roll farther and faster than the other. The engine is connected to the shaft rotating at angular velocity a. The driving wheels are connected to the other two shafts, and p and q are equal. If the engine is running at a constant speed, the rotational speed of each driving wheel can vary, but the sum (or average) of the two wheels' speeds cannot change. An increase in the speed of one wheel must be balanced by an equal decrease in the speed of the other.

HISTORY

Egyptian reliefs from 1500BC depict siphons used to extract liquids from large storage jars.There is physical evidence for the use of siphons by Greek engineers in the 3rd century BC at Pergamon.
Hero of Alexandria wrote extensively about siphons in the treatise Pneumatica.In the 9th century,the Banu Musa brothers invented a double-concentric siphons,which they described in their Book of Ingenious Devices.
Siphons were studied further in the 17th century,in the context of suction pumps

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS MAIN PART OF AN AUTOMOBILE ???

Yes, you are right it is CHASSIS ! They are referred to as skeleton of an Automobile.A large number of designs in pressed-steel frame a skeleton on which an engine,axle assemblies,transmission,steering mechanism,brakes and suspension members are mounted.

BASIC FUNCTION OF CHASSIS ARE
1.it absorbs the reaction from the movement of an engine and axle.
2.blances the reaction forces of the wheel in acceleration and braking.
3.Absorb aerodynamics wind forces and road shocks through the suspension.
4.Absorb the major"Energy of Impact"in the event of an accident.

Turbo charger’s


Operating principle
Otto and diesel cycle engines rely on the downward stroke of a piston to create a low-pressure area (less than atmospheric pressure) above the piston in order to draw air through the intake system. With the rare exception of tuned induction systems, most engines cannot inhale their full displacement of atmospheric density air. The measure of this loss or inefficiency in four stroke engines is called volumetric efficiency. If the density of the intake air above the piston is equal to atmospheric, then the engine would have 100% volumetric efficiency. Unfortunately, most engines fail to achieve this level of performance. This loss of potential power is often compounded by the loss of density seen with elevated altitudes. Thus, a natural use of the turbocharger is with aircraft engines.As an aircraft climbs to higher altitudes the pressure of the surrounding air quickly falls off. At 5,486 m (18,000 ft) the air is at half the pressure of sea level, which means that the engine will produce less than half-power at this altitude.also automobiles used in hills or high altitude.

 DIESEL ENGINE VS PETROL ENGINE
                                           
On basis of working
Inlet stroke
 In petrol engines the mixture of air and petrol is drawn in by the falling piston
 In diesel engines only air is drawn in by the falling piston

Compression stroke
 In petrol engine, the mixture is compressed upto about 1/7th to 1/11th of its original size.
 In diesel engine, only air is compressed upto about 1/15th to 1/26th of its original size.

History 

Nikolaus August Otto as a young man was a traveling salesman for a grocery concern. In his travels he encountered the internal combustion engine built in Paris by Belgian expatriate Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir. In 1860 Lenoir succeeded in creating a double acting engine which ran on illuminating gas at 4% efficiency. The 18 liter Lenoir Engine was able to produce only 2 horsepower. The Lenoir engine ran on the illuminating gas that was made from coal which had been developed in Paris by Philip Lebon.

HISTORY 

The first commercial two-stroke engine involving in-cylinder compression is attributed to Scottish engineer Dugald Clerk, who in 1881 patented his design, his engine having a separate charging cylinder. The crankcase-scavenged engine, employing the area below the piston as a charging pump, is generally credited to Englishman Joseph Day.

ADVANTAGES OF TWO STROKE OVER FOUR STROKE:
- Two-stroke engines do not have valves, simplifying their construction.
- Two-stroke engines fire once every revolution (four-stroke engines fire once every other revolution). This gives two-stroke engines a significant power boost.
- Two-stroke engines are lighter, and cost less to manufacture.
- Two-stroke engines have the potential for about twice the power in the same size because there are twice as many power strokes per revolution.

HEY!! GUYS DO YOU KNOW WHY SOMETIMES OUR TWO-WHEELERS DOES NOT START AND WHEN WE KICK THEM THEY GIVE BACK FORCE WHILE KICKING !!


See guys this generally happen in winters. In winters the temperature is low outside as-well-as inside the engine and it is not an optimum condition for combustion.So when we kick them we give initially force to the fly-wheel to perform first stroke so that combustion take place and we can get power stroke and then process get spontaneous! But due to low temperature the first combustion does not took place and the energy stored in fly-wheel(which is provided by us on kicking) is return back to us (by newton 3rd law of motion) and we get that back force or we say BACK.( BUT THIS PROCESS TOOK PLACE VERY QUICKLY

Thinking putty (silly putty) is a silicone polymer.It has unique properties:It is viscoelastic i.e it can be stretched & shaped & mashed back together again; & as its apparent viscosity increase directly with respect to the amount of  force applied.Silly putty in non-newtonian visco-elastic polymer;better characterized as a dilant fluid.
  BY adding a ferrous component  to an silly putty we can keep all characteristics of the original putty,but now have the additional dimension of MAGNETISM ! & we called it MAGNETIC PUTTY !!

What is ABS ?

Anti-lock braking is  form of a computer controlled system that is commonly used. Figure  shows a relatively modern system that uses individual wheel control for ABS and is known as a four-channel system. The braking system shown here uses a diagonal split of the hydraulic circuits: the brakes on the front left and rear right are fed by one part of the tandem master cylinder, and the brakes on the
front right and rear left are fed from the other part of the tandem master cylinder.
The wheel sensors operate on the Hall principle and give an electric current output which is considered to have advantages over the more usual voltage signal from wheel sensors. The ABS control computer is incorporated into the ABS modulator and, with the aid of sensor inputs, provides the controlling actions that are designed to allow safe braking in emergency stops.
