A regular generator’s alternator feeds straight to the control panel, so the energy produced from internal combustion powers whatever item plugs into it directly . There are no protective electrical devices or voltage regulators on a regular generator. The energy produced in a regular portable gener...
In a series hybrid, the gasoline engine turns a generator, and the generator can either charge the batteries or power an electric motor that drives the transmission. Thus, the gasoline engine never directly powers the vehicle. Hybrid Car Performance The key to a hybrid car is that the gasoli...
Here's everything you need to know about an alternator replacement. What Is An Alternator? The alternator in your car converts mechanical energy from the engine into electrical power for multiple systems in your car. Effectively a generator, the alternator recharges the car's battery and also...
For example, the Honda Civic and Accord offer a responsive, well-programmed handling that eliminates the “rubber band effect” – a condition when the RPM is high but the vehicle takes time to catch that speed.Below are 2 of the most highlighted CVT transmission brands, Honda vs Nissan and...
But not all emergency medical equipment falls into the category of not being absolutely necessary. If you have a family member who is on oxygen, their oxygen generator or pump might be necessary for their survival. That means either having enough oxygen in tanks to get them through or being ...
In order to keep up with a changing environment, mobile organisms must be capable of deciding both where and when to move. This precision necessitates a strong sense of time, as otherwise we would fail in many of our movement goals. Yet, despite this intrinsic link, only recently have rese...
Hello Barry…. I was afraid to very fast, but 2000 rpm put us at 25mph. I did open up to full throttle for a few seconds to check top end….2900 rpm and if I held it there I’m sure it run at 40mph; had lots of power. The pitch was at .095 at the leading edge of site...
serve as the car’s main power train, plus a motor with a small gas engine that would work as a generator, creating electricity to keep the vehicle going when the battery was depleted. But even that hybrid design forced GM engineers, to a remarkable extent, to become cavemen rediscovering ...
So when it was time to start what I had labeled in my head as “the Tesla post,” I knew this was going to be one of those posts. To understand if and why Tesla Motors matters, you have to understand both the story of cars and the story of energy—two worlds I somehow am simult...
the better the alignment, the smoother/less vibration, the longer the bearings last. Then we get into vibration measuring. We used IRD brand equipment for mobile measuring in the field. The turbine/generator had fixed sensors that went straight to the control room ...
