We believe to make cars lighter, the automotive industry needs to replace aluminum with iron. The conventional wisdom says that is crazy.
Why would you replace a low density material with a higher density material? We just spent years and money converting parts from iron to aluminum.
Contemporary gasoline-powered vehicles use On-Board Diagnostics 2 (OBD2) to determine whether a vehicle is within emission standards. This is achieved by monitored certain parameters; e.g., catalytic converter operation, exhaust gas recirculation operation, etc. Rationality testing on sensors is also done; e.g.,
GDI Magnetic Injector and Fuel Rail Solenoid Tester. The magnetic unit can test GDI injectors and the fuel rail pressure control solenoid, which can sometimes employ 14 to 24 volts and is also PWM controlled.
Windshield wipers are designed and made to remove rain, snow, ice and debris from a windshield. Most cars have two wipers on the windshield, and they may have one on the rear window and one on each headlight. A wiper generally consists of a metal arm; one end pivots,
According to AAA’s Foundation for Traffic Safety, poorly secured loads are responsible for more than 25,000 crashes and approximately 90 fatalities in developed countries each year. And on top of that, there are all those nonfatal injuries to drivers behind you and damage to their vehicles.
Electric cars are limited as to the distance that they can be driven before complete battery failure; the average range is only about 100 miles.
A rotating internal combustion engine using spark or compression ignition manufactured with current metals/machining processes for motorcycles, automobiles, shipping, and aircraft. An attached compressor (twin screw) feeds air injectors, supplying the rotor chambers.
Pyramidal rotor chambers are placed around the rotor circumference allowing multiple firing impulses per revolution,
Autonomous vehicles require multiple optical sensors, such as cameras or LIDAR, in the car’s body on all sides. Today, such sensors are mostly used for parking assistance.
In automated driving, the accurate function of these sensors is required to ensure safe driving. Contaminants such as dirt, dust,
