  2. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

    All modern cars also use the starter solenoid to move the starter pinion into engagement with the ring gear of the engine. The starter solenoid is sometimes called the starter relay, but many cars reserve that name for a separate relay which supplies power to the starter solenoid. In these cases, the ignition switch energizes the starter relay ...

  3. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

    The term "solenoid" also often refers to a solenoid valve, an integrated device containing an electromechanical solenoid which actuates either a pneumatic or hydraulic valve, or a solenoid switch, a specific type of relay that uses an internal electromechanical solenoid to operate an electrical switch; for example, an automobile starter ...

  4. Boost controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_controller

    A 3-port solenoid-type boost controller A 4-port solenoid-type boost controller (used for a dual-port wastegate). The purpose of a boost controller is to reduce the boost pressure seen by the wastegate's reference port, in order to trick the wastegate into allowing higher boost pressures than it was designed for.

  5. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

    Solenoid valves. A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve.. Solenoid valves differ in the characteristics of the electric current they use, the strength of the magnetic field they generate, the mechanism they use to regulate the fluid, and the type and characteristics of fluid they control.

  6. Camless piston engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camless_piston_engine

    A camless or free-valve piston engine is an engine that has poppet valves operated by means of electromagnetic, hydraulic, or pneumatic [1] actuators instead of conventional cams. Actuators can be used to both open and close valves, or to open valves closed by springs or other means.

  7. Shutdown valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_valve

    In a solenoid-operated safety shutoff valve, a spring action closes the valve instantly when an electric current fails and the solenoid ceases to be energized. The solenoid circuit is generally arranged so that it is broken upon failure of any element of the system. This valve cannot be re-opened until the solenoid is again energized.

  8. Haynes Manual - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haynes_Manual

    Haynes Owner's Workshop Manuals (commonly known as Haynes Manuals) is a series of manuals from the British publisher Haynes Publishing Group. The series focuses primarily on the maintenance and repair of automotive vehicles and covers a range of makes and models, with manuals for over 600 car and 225 motorcycle models.

  9. Solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid

    A finite solenoid is a solenoid with finite length. Continuous means that the solenoid is not formed by discrete coils but by a sheet of conductive material. We assume the current is uniformly distributed on the surface of the solenoid, with a surface current density K ; in cylindrical coordinates : K → = I l ϕ ^ . {\displaystyle {\vec {K ...
