Why does a motorcycle work this way? The motorcycle's wheels act like gyroscopes and create gyroscopic forces when moving at speeds above five miles an hour. One of the most interesting effects related to a gyroscope is a phenomenon known as precession. When a force is applied perpendicular to...
Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for adjusting the operating point of a friction clutch according to any one of claims 1 to 7, wherein the adjusting element (44) for adjusting the operating point of the friction clutch (10) is adjusted. Further, the present invention ...
000's of RPM so be cautious when you switch off it needs oil if it is going to survive. If you switch off the engine whilst the turbo is hot you will burn off the oil inside the turbo causing excessive friction and wear.
Double-Clutch The transmission shown here does not have "synchros" (discussed later in the article), so if you were using this transmission you would have to double-clutch it. Double-clutching was common in older cars and is still common in some modern race cars. In double-clutching, you ...
How does a clutch yo-yo work? The best yo-yos for doing tricks have what's called a centrifugal clutch. It's an extra mechanism of weights (shown here in blue) and springs (black zigzags) built inside the body of the yo-yo that makes it behave differently according to whether it's...
How does a synchromesh unit work? The synchromesh has an inner spline that coincides with the output shaft and then an outer spline thatallows an inner ring to move internally within the gear. This outer ring is designed to only mesh with the bulk ring once their speeds are matched, meshi...

How does an automatic gearbox work? Automatic gearboxes shift gear without any intervention from the driver, usually using hydraulic power. They typically combine a torque converter (instead of a clutch) with different gear sets. The torque converter connects the engine to the transmission, using ...
When you switch on the power, the outer part of the motor rotates, becoming a wheel (or wheels) that powers the vehicle forward.How does a brushless DC (BLDC) motor work? Photo: A small brushless DC motor taken from a computer's floppy disk drive and seen from outside (top) and ...
In this article, we'll explore how a CVT works in a typical rear-wheel driven car, answering several questions on the way: How does a CVT compare to a conventional, planetary automatic transmission? What parts does it have and how do those parts work? What advantages do CVTs offer over...
