A spark causes the engine's piston to go down and rotate the crankshaft. As the throttle pedal approaches the floor, more air is taken in, causing the crankshaft to rotate more quickly. This is what allows your car to accelerate when driving. However, If you're driving your car and losi...
Not too long ago Ford patented an 11-speed automatic transmission. Are they out of their minds, or is there some legitimacy to this madness?Engineering Explained Updated: 10 Oct 2024 Just because companies do something does not mean it’s necessarily a great idea from an engineering stan...
What happens when your car is out of alignment? Effects. Driving a vehicle with improper wheel alignmentcan cause uneven wear on the tires. If the problem is not corrected soon enough, a vehicle's tires could suffer premature wear and tear, making them unsafe. Correct alignment problems immedi...
If there’s a problem with the TPS, your car may start to accelerate randomly, misfire, or have trouble starting. This, in turn, causes super high or fluctuating RPM, and the only solution is a total replacement of this component. Dirty Fuel Injectors As the fuel tends to get dirty afte...
Not only does your car vibrate, but drivers can also get into an accident for uncontrollable movement. Yet again, every problem has its own way to resolve. Understanding the wheel can help you fix them on your own.With a balancerAlong with a bubble balancer, there are some tools you ...
To first deal with the elephant in the room, yes, the XF does look jolly similar to the smaller XE, a car we’re currently running as a long-term test vehicle. I’ve always been unsure about making two cars in a range look so damn similar, but there’s no denying they’re a han...
How does the lifespan of EVs compare to ICE vehicles of the future? How quickly will battery technology advance to boost the performance of both modes of transportation? Several factors will impact EV residual values, such as how fast battery technologies are changing and how quickly these...
The axle spins while the body of the car does not, creating friction. This friction adversely affects the motion of the vehicle, slowing the spin of the axle during and after the release of the mousetrap. The greater the friction between axle and body, the shorter the distance of travel. ...
But as organizations accelerate their AI efforts, they need to take extra care, because as any police officer will tell you, even small potholes can cause problems for vehicles traveling at high speeds. AI marketing: What does the future hold?AI marketing uses artificial intelligence and ...
None of this is conjecture. It’s physics – and politics. An EV city car that isn’t expected to be capable of going much faster than about 50 MPH or going much farther than about 50 miles does not need a huge, hugely heavy and hugely expensive energy storage device. And because it...
