A diagram of an aquaplaning tire Two vehicles aquaplaning through large puddles on the road's surface. Aquaplaning or hydroplaning by the tires of a road vehicle, aircraft or other wheeled vehicle occurs when a layer of water builds between the wheels of the vehicle and the road surface, leading to a loss of traction that prevents the vehicle from responding to control inputs.
Rain sensor on the windshield of a car. A rain sensor or rain switch is a switching device activated by rainfall. There are two main applications for rain sensors. The first is a water conservation device connected to an automatic irrigation system that causes the system to shut down in the event of rainfall.
Hydrolock most commonly occurs in automobiles when driving through floods, either where the water is above the level of the air intake or the vehicle's speed is excessive, creating a tall bow wave. A vehicle fitted with a cold air intake mounted low on the vehicle will be especially vulnerable to hydrolocking when being driven through standing ...
Vehicle dynamics is the study of vehicle motion, e.g., how a vehicle's forward movement changes in response to driver inputs, propulsion system outputs, ambient conditions, air/surface/water conditions, etc. Vehicle dynamics is a part of engineering primarily based on classical mechanics.
Inspect the car's most difficult-to-clean places, such as under the seats, gaps in panels in the trunk and behind the engine, looking for mud, debris or water lines.
A water main break has closed a road and intersection in Puyallup on Monday morning.. A vehicle hit a hydrant at Valley Avenue East and Milwaukee Avenue East, which caused the water main break ...
Seed dispersal by the slipstream of a passing car.. A slipstream is a region behind a moving object in which a wake of fluid (typically air or water) is moving at velocities comparable to that of the moving object, relative to the ambient fluid through which the object is moving. [1]
