    Automotive Why engine efficiency drops for light loads?

    RogueOne... Not to worry, my skin is pretty thick, I don't offend easily.. Nor was it my intention to slight you in any way.. We both obviously have a different approach when we answer questions from people.. Somewhere in my collection of files I hold a couple pieces of paper from an...

    Automotive Why engine efficiency drops for light loads?

    Not going to argue yours or his points for a second.. I was only trying to give a non technical answer to a simply stated question.. I can go farther into detail of design and operations of the IC engine, as I'm sure both of you gentlemen are able, I just didn't see where the question warranted...

    -40 to 70C Degrees Special Refrigerator

    Not all the technology we have today is here because inventors followed the rules of physics, it is here because inventors were not afraid to step outside the box.. I agree that regular physics is challenging to learn and can be even more challenging to master.. So then you will be content to...

    How to make 3-phase contactor to chatter?

    Berkeman is 100% correct even tho your experiment is Academic in nature.. That said, there is no reason for that contactor to ever chatter if everything is wired correctly to begin with.. NEC requires the coil of the contactor be powered from the source power feeding the contactor.. This is done...

    -40 to 70C Degrees Special Refrigerator

    You're going to make me do an experiment to find out aren't you.. I am not sure Radiant Transfer will work since there is nothing in a vacuum for the radiant source to act upon... I am new here, but I'm liking this site a whole bunch... It makes me think.. The more you know, the more you'll...

    Automotive Why engine efficiency drops for light loads?

    RogueOne... Com'on guy, you're picking fly poop out of pepper... Of course the design parameters for an engine to go into a particular type of automobile are far more extensive than what I described... I was mearly attempting to give a non-tech answer to the question... Didn't intend to ruffle...

    -40 to 70C Degrees Special Refrigerator

    Can you have any kind of heat transfer, hot or cold, in a vacuum??

    Automotive Why engine efficiency drops for light loads?

    Congratulations to the first three answers, you missed the obvious, easy answer.. Its simple, it requires a calculable amount of horse power/torque to propel a vehicle of a certain weight and air resistance down the road at 50 mph or 60 mph or speed of the factories choosing.. The engine for...

    Water level accuracy for squaring a car frame

    Seems to me you are getting all kinds of advice on how to do things.. Mostly good honest advice but doesn't do much to help your situation.. That said, I may as well throw my 2 cents worth in also excepting I've probably got a little more experience at this than they do having built 5 Pro Street...

    Automotive How can porting and valve design improve engine performance?

    The key to any port design is velocity of the intake charge.. The procedure is simple so DON'T get carried away... The ledge under the intake valve, looking back into the port, needs to be blended back into the bowl of the port..This blending can be taken out to the size of the intake valve seat...
