Erik Buell Racing's first efforts were directed toward production of complete, race-only motorcycles and parts based on the Buell 1125R production model, under license from Harley-Davidson, [4] to support privateer racers. On July 1, 2013, Hero MotoCorp, a motorcycle manufacturer based in India, acquired 49.2% stake in the company for $25 ...
The Buell Blast is a motorcycle that was made by the Buell Motorcycle Company from 2000 to 2009. The Blast was conceived as an entry-level motorcycle to attract newcomers to motorcycling in general and to Harley-Davidson in particular. As such, the design goals were low cost and ease of operation and maintenance.
Buell bought the parts and tooling from the failed Barton concern and developed the RW 750 for his own use and for sale to private entrants. [24] The engine was a liquid-cooled two-stroke square four. [23] [24] Buell's development resulted in a more competitive racer, but production ceased when the AMA discontinued the Formula One class.

The steam blast is largely self-regulating: an increase in the rate of steam consumption by the cylinders increases the blast, which increases the draught and hence the temperature of the fire. Modern locomotives are also fitted with a blower , which is a device that releases steam directly into the smokebox for use when a greater draught is ...
A blast valve is used to protect a shelter, such as a fallout shelter or bunker, from the effects of sudden outside air pressure changes. A nuclear weapon creates a shock wave, which may produce sudden pressure changes of more than an atmosphere (about 1 bar) even several kilometres from the detonation point.
The 322 Fireball V8 in a 1956 Buick Century. Buick's first generation V8 was offered from 1953 through 1956; it replaced the Buick straight-eight.While officially called the "Fireball V8" [1] by Buick, it became known by enthusiasts as the "Nailhead" for the unusual vertical alignment of its small-sized valves (Originally it was known to hot-rodders as the "nail valve", because the engine's ...
