The Briggs & Stratton Vanguard Big Block V-Twin is a series of American piston engines, designed and produced by Briggs & Stratton of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin for use in commercial applications. They have also been adapted for use as ultralight aircraft engines.
The Briggs & Stratton Gasoline/Electric Hybrid Car – In 1980, at the tail end of the energy crisis, Briggs & Stratton developed the first gasoline-electric hybrid automobile concept car. "The Hybrid" was designed by Brooks Stevens , had six wheels and was powered by a twin-cylinder 16 hp (11.9 kW) Briggs & Stratton engine and a large bank of ...
A link between a gas turbine compressor and its engine can be shown with lines of constant engine temperature ratio, ie the effect of fuelling/increased turbine temperature which raises the running line as the temperature ratio increases. One manifestation of different behaviour appears in the choke region on the right-hand side of a map.
A choke left closed after the engine has warmed up increases the engine's fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions, and causes the engine to run rough and lack power due to an over-rich fuel mixture. However, excessive fuel can flood an engine and prevent it from starting. To remove the excess fuel, many carburetors with automatic chokes ...
The rate does not depend on the downstream pressure at all. All other terms are constants that depend only on the composition of the material in the flow. Although the gas velocity reaches a maximum and becomes choked, the mass flow rate is not choked. The mass flow rate can still be increased if the upstream pressure is increased as this ...
The Briggs & Stratton BlockZilla motor is a more advanced form of the earlier Raptor motor. The block is built up to handle more power. This means that the block is about 6 lb (2.7 kg) heavier and has much more structural integrity. Also the exhaust and intake ports are set on an angle.
In electronics, a choke is an inductor used to block higher-frequency alternating currents (AC) while passing direct current (DC) and lower-frequency ACs in a circuit. A choke usually consists of a coil of insulated wire often wound on a magnetic core, although some consist of a doughnut-shaped ferrite bead strung on a wire.
In military strategy, a choke point (or chokepoint), or sometimes bottleneck, is a geographical feature on land such as a valley, defile or bridge, or maritime passage through a critical waterway such as a strait, which an armed force is forced to pass through in order to reach its objective, sometimes on a substantially narrowed front and ...
