Need help regarding automatic transmission

AI Thread Summary
Automatic transmissions differ significantly from manual transmissions in terms of efficiency and design. Articles suggest that continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) generally do not match the efficiency of manual transmissions, which can reach up to 98% in certain gears. The efficiency of CVTs is often proprietary, making it difficult to compare directly. Additionally, manual transmissions do not require water cooling, while some CVTs do, indicating lower efficiency. Understanding these differences is crucial for preparing a presentation on automatic versus manual transmissions.

can i have a basic idea of preparing ppt about automatic transmission...what an all should be included in it
 
The following website has a good discussion of the various types of continuusly variable transmissions (CVTs)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continu...e_transmission
None of the CVTs have efficiencies as high as manual transmissions: about 96% in all but the 1:1 gear which is about 98%. Manufactirers of CVTs will not disclose the efficiencies of their designs; it is proprietary.

Note that manual transmissions in standard automobiles do not require water cooling. If a particular CVT requires water cooling, that is proof that it is less efficient than a manual transmission.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
