Beginner's Guide to Automotive Mechanics: Inertia, Energy, & Torque

AI Thread Summary
Lokesh seeks resources to understand automotive concepts, particularly inertia, energy, and torque in engines. He confirms familiarity with fundamental automobile operations, including engine and fuel systems. A participant suggests clarifying his specific interests in inertia, highlighting the relationship between energy and torque, and providing formulas for power in relation to angular speed and torque. Links to relevant e-books and forums are shared to assist Lokesh in building his foundational knowledge in automotive mechanics.

hey...this is lokesh. I am really interested in automobiles but the problem is that i am a beginner. I am just not able to apply the concepts of inertia energy and torque on engines. Can you please suggest me any e-books or links which would help me clear my basics? Please reply asap. Desperate to start on.

Do you know the fundamentals of automobile operation, such as engine, ignition, fuel system, exhaust, cooling system, charging system, etc?
 
Yes i do.

Then someone else will have to help you. If you were just a beginner, I was going to suggest Stokel.

Welcome Lokesh. Please specify the aspects of inertia in which you're interested (mass, momentum, kinetic energy, acceleration). Energy and torque of a motor are interrelated. Energy is work (force x distance). Power is the rate at which energy is produced or consumed (force x distance / time).

Power = angular speed * torque

[power] = watts (W)
[speed] = radians per second (rad/s)
[torque] = Newton-metres (N-m)
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
