  2. Back-up beeper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-up_beeper

    A white-noise back-up beeper provides a less disruptive alert than the original pure-tone alert. A back-up beeper, also known as back-up alarm or vehicle motion alarm, is a device intended to warn passers-by of a vehicle moving in reverse. Some models produce pure tone beeps at about 1000 Hz and 97-112 decibels. [1]

  3. Electric vehicle warning sounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_warning...

    As a result of increased sales of full electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicles in several countries, some members of the blind community have raised concerns about the noise reduction when those vehicles operate in all-electric mode, as blind people or the visually impaired consider the noise of combustion engines a helpful aid while crossing streets and think quiet hybrids could pose an ...

    Contra-rotating propellers Contra-rotating propellers on the Rolls-Royce Griffon-powered P-51XR Mustang Precious Metal at the 2014 Reno Air Races. Aircraft equipped with contra-rotating propellers (CRP) [1] coaxial contra-rotating propellers, or high-speed propellers, apply the maximum power of usually a single piston engine or turboprop engine to drive a pair of coaxial propellers in contra ...

  5. Motor controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_controller

    A motor controller is a device or group of devices that can coordinate in a predetermined manner the performance of an electric motor. [1] A motor controller might include a manual or automatic means for starting and stopping the motor, selecting forward or reverse rotation, selecting and regulating the speed, regulating or limiting the torque, and protecting against overloads and electrical ...

  6. Tank steering systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_steering_systems

    The system is fully regenerative: all of the engine's power reaches the track either through the main driveshaft or the steering system; none of the energy is being lost to brakes or clutches. Additionally, since power is fed around the transmission to the steering system, in some designs the tank can be turned or even pivoted in place even ...

  7. Reverse-flow cylinder head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse-flow_cylinder_head

    However, the advent of fuel injection and electronic ignition has made most of the reverse-flow head's advantages redundant in a modern engine and as a result the design has lost its popularity. The reverse-flow head still enjoys some popularity among enthusiasts including Leyland Mini, Chrysler Slant-6, Holden and Ford Inline 6 fans.

  8. Roadway noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadway_noise

    Roadway noise is the collective sound energy emanating from motor vehicles. It consists chiefly of road surface , tire, engine /transmission, aerodynamic, and braking elements. Noise of rolling tires driving on pavement is found to be the biggest contributor of highway noise and increases with higher vehicle speeds.

  9. Regenerative braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_braking

    The motor fields are connected across the main traction generator (MG) and the motor armatures are connected across the load. The MG now excites the motor fields. The rolling locomotive or multiple unit wheels turn the motor armatures, and the motors act as generators, either sending the generated current through onboard resistors ( dynamic ...
