  2. Rotary-screw compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary-screw_compressor

    Principal view of the pumping action of a twin-screw pump with a six-lobe female screw and a five-lobe male screw. A compressor (as opposed to a pump) would be shaped the same way, except that the shape of the lobes would change along the length of the screw, so that the volume of the trapped pockets would get squeezed smaller as they get closer to the exhaust port.

  3. Rotary valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_valve

    A rotary valve (also called rotary-motion valve) is a type of valve in which the rotation of a passage or passages in a transverse plug regulates the flow of liquid or gas through the attached pipes. [1] The common stopcock is the simplest form of rotary valve. Rotary valves have been applied in numerous applications, including:

  4. History of the internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_internal...

    1957: The first working prototype of the pistonless Wankel engine (sometimes called a rotary engine) is built by German engineer Felix Wankel. 1957: First usage of electronic fuel injection (EFI) in a production passenger car, using the American Bendix Electrojector system. 1967: The Rolls-Royce RB.203 Trent becomes the first three-spool engine ...

  5. Starter (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_(engine)

    An automobile starter motor (larger cylinder). The smaller object on top is a starter solenoid which controls power to the starter motor and engages the Bendix drive.. A starter (also self-starter, cranking motor, or starter motor) is a device used to rotate (crank) an internal-combustion engine so as to initiate the engine's operation under its own power.

  6. Air compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_compressor

    Air compressor supplies air into a nail gun.. An air compressor is a machine that takes ambient air from the surroundings and discharges it at a higher pressure. It is an application of a gas compressor and a pneumatic device that converts mechanical power (from an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in compressed air, which has many uses.

  7. Bendix drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bendix_drive

    A Bendix drive is a type of engagement mechanism used in starter motors of internal combustion engines.The device allows the pinion gear of the starter motor to engage or disengage the ring gear (which is attached to the flywheel or flexplate of the engine) automatically when the starter is powered or when the engine fires, respectively.

  8. Bendix-Stromberg pressure carburetor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bendix-Stromberg_pressure...

    The venturi creates a low pressure that changes with the velocity of the air. As the air pressure in chamber A is decreased with greater airflow, the diaphragm is pulled toward the carburetor body. Chamber A also contains a spring that opens the fuel metering valve when the air flow is absent. [14]

  9. Axial compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_compressor

    Though valve position is set for lower flow rate say point G but compressor will work according to normal stable operation point say E, so path E-F-P-G-E will be followed leading to breakdown of flow, hence pressure in the compressor falls further to point H(). This increase and decrease of pressure in pipe will occur repeatedly in pipe and ...
