Basic information about cars
Cars are a rather complicated layouts and worth to each control you have knowledge of the most relevant information in this regard. First of all, take a look at the information on the basic elements of the construction of the car. These include not only the engine and steering wheel, but also many related parts, for example, with the propulsion system. More than one part of the car is completely black magic to people not connected in any way with the automotive industry. Some knowledge in this area is necessary, for example when driving course, but a lot of people quickly forget obtained message. It is worth it to remember, especially because it's easier, we can use the machine as we know it.
Risk when buying used cars
Used cars are mostly purchased vehicles. Associated with them, however, a certain risk. Although a large part of the parameters of the vehicle is in the documents attached to the car, there are also such parameters, which often indicate the actual state of the car, but still are often counterfeited by selling such cars. One of the most important parameters to which we should pay attention when buying a used car is the amount of kilometers driven by it. Many retailers indulges in illegal manipulations in this area, and then sold their equipment is in much worse condition than shown in the offer.
Historical design
Historical design
Dugald Clerk developed the first two cycle engine in 1879. It used a separate cylinder which functioned as a pump in order to transfer the fuel mixture to the cylinder.6
In 1899 John Day simplified Clerk's design into the type of 2 cycle engine that is very widely used today.13 Day cycle engines are crankcase scavenged and port timed. The crankcase and the part of the cylinder below the exhaust port is used as a pump. The operation of the Day cycle engine begins when the crankshaft is turned so that the piston moves from BDC upward (toward the head) creating a vacuum in the crankcase/cylinder area. The carburetor then feeds the fuel mixture into the crankcase through a reed valve or a rotary disk valve (driven by the engine). There are cast in ducts from the crankcase to the port in the cylinder to provide for intake and another from the exhausst port to the exhaust pipe. The height of the port in relationship to the length of the cylinder is called the "port timing."
On the first upstroke of the engine there would be no fuel inducted into the cylinder as the crankcase was empty. On the downstroke the piston now compresses the fuel mix, which has lubricated the piston in the cylinder and the bearings due to the fuel mix having oil added to it. As the piston moves downward is first uncovers the exhaust, but on the first stroke there is no burnt fuel to exhaust. As the piston moves downward further, it uncovers the intake port which has a duct that runs to the crankcase. Since the fuel mix in the crankcase is under pressure the mix moves through the duct and into the cylinder.
Because there is no obstruction in the cylinder of the fuel to move directly out of the exhaust port prior to the piston rising far enough to close the port, early engines used a high domed piston to slow down the flow of fuel. Later the fuel was "resonated" back into the cylinder using an expansion chamber design. When the piston rose close to TDC a spark ignites the fuel. As the piston is driven downward with power it first uncovers the exhaust port where the burned fuel is expelled under high pressure and then the intake port where the process has been completed and will keep repeating.
Later engines used a type of porting devised by the Deutz company to improve performance. It was called the Schnurle Reverse Flow system. DKW licensed this design for all their motorcycles. Their DKW RT 125 was one of the first motor vehicles to achieve over 100 mpg as a result.14
