Definitions and ExplanationsWhat is Fuel Injection? Fuel injection is the process of introducing fuel to an engine’s cylinder by means of a pump or atomizer. This process of injecting fuel was originally applied on diesel engines because diesel fuels are more viscous and are difficult to put in the cylinders with the presence of compressed air. In [...]
What is Cryogenic Engine? A cryogenic engine is an engine that is designed to run on liquid fuels that require extremely low temperatures to remain liquid. Cryogenics is the study of extremely low temperatures and its effect on the materials that it is applied to. When the gases used on a cryogenic engine are stored [...]
What is MMT Transmission? MMT Transmission or Multimode Manual Transmission is offered by Toyota Company. MMT Transmission is a sequential manual transmission that makes use of the conventional manual transmission. However, the clutch is controlled electronically. Multimode Manual Transmission should not be mistaken as the same as the Multimode Automatic Transmission. MMT Transmission cars are [...]
What is Die Cutting? Die cutting is a process commonly used in the paper and plastic industry to create different shapes out of several sheets. The purpose of which is for mass production. Machines are made to cut through sheets of paper or plastic and form various shapes and sizes, and in large quantities. In [...]
The creation of the engine was a big step in powering a lot of what we need to do. The engine has greatly impacted the way we power our day to day lives. Over the years, engines have gradually evolved and today we have the four stroke internal combustion engine as well as the diesel [...]
What Exactly is SWL and WLL? The working load limit or WLL, the safe working load or SWL as well as lowest and highest rated loads discussed the definition of safe working load. The SWL has been the premise associated with engineering, specifically intended for weight transporting machines, for several years. It had been typically [...]
What is TCS in cars? TCS in cars refer to the “Traction Control System”, and it involves a system that provides the car more traction or road grip even when the car is accelerating and/or taking a corner. Basically, a TCS system aims to prevent wheel spin in conditions wherein the car is moving fast. [...]
What is VTEC? VTEC stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control. It involves mechanical and electrical components of a particular valvetrain system developed for Honda car engines. Its basic concept involves two profiles for the camshaft setup in which the VTEC system is able to electronically choose either camshaft with increased efficiency. This [...]
What does DOHC mean? DOHC or Double Overhead Camshaft refers to the car engine’s valve train with two camshafts. This valve train layout or configuration is common in cars today, replacing the previous version – SOHC or Single Overhead Camshaft. Engines with the DOHC layout are said to generate more power and increase fuel efficiency. [...]
What is VW DSG? VW DSG refers to Volkswagen’s Direct-Shift Gearbox system which was designed by BorgWarner and initially launched on production cars in 2003. The DSG system involves a dual-clutch technology with multiple shafts on the manual gearbox. This particular system works as one unit with “full” or “semi” automatic control. It is said [...]
What is GVWR? GVWR or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating refers to the maximum amount of weight that a particular vehicle can hold. Manufactures of vehicles like trucks and trailers use GVWR to inform people of how much weight the actual vehicle can carry at any given time. The weight measured here includes the actual weight [...]
DSG gearboxes refer to direct-shift gearboxes that have a dual-clutch transmission system without the standard clutch pedal. A DSG gearbox can also be operated as a fully automatic clutch system or semi-manual gearbox. DSG gearboxes can be found in so-called automatic cars, and it allows for easier gear shifting when compared to other transmission systems. [...]
What is a JWT Pop Charger? A JWT Pop Charger refers to a short ram aftermarket air intake system produced by JWT or Jim Wolf Technology. These particular air intake systems are called Pop Chargers because they basically boost the performance of cars that run on internal combustion engines. JWT, or Jim Wolf Technology, is [...]
