  2. Computer fan control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan_control

    Some fans will not work at such low voltage at all, while some other fans may run at +5 V once they have started rotating at a reasonable speed. [ citation needed ] Another method of reducing the fan speed [ 5 ] is by moving the 5 V wire in the classical Molex power connector in the place of the Ground wire going to the fan, thereby delivering ...

  3. Antilag system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antilag_system

    The anti-lag system (ALS) is a method of reducing turbo lag or effective compression used on turbocharged engines to minimize turbo lag on racing or performance cars. It works by retarding the ignition timing and adding extra fuel (and sometimes air) to balance an inherent loss in combustion efficiency with increased pressure at the charging side of the turbo.

  4. Computer fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan

    Fans may be controlled by sensors and circuits that reduce their speed when temperature is not high, leading to quieter operation, longer life, and lower power consumption than fixed-speed fans. Fan lifetimes are usually quoted under the assumption of running at maximum speed and at a fixed ambient temperature.

  5. Turbo button - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button

    Some computers have wired the turbo button in a way that if the button is pressed in, the computer is running in the slower speed. While the turbo button can be configured this way, this is not the intended way of using the button, as the computer is intended to run at full speed when the button is pressed in, hence the name turbo.

  6. Turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger

    Cut-away view turbocharger (turbine section on the left, compressor section on the right) In an internal combustion engine, a turbocharger (also known as a turbo or a turbosupercharger) is a forced induction device that is powered by the flow of exhaust gases.

  7. Variable-geometry turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-geometry_turbocharger

    If the aspect ratio is too large, the turbo will fail to create boost at low speeds; if the aspect ratio is too small, the turbo will choke the engine at high speeds, leading to high exhaust manifold pressures, high pumping losses, and ultimately lower power output. By altering the geometry of the turbine housing as the engine accelerates, the ...

  8. SpeedFan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpeedFan

    SpeedFan is a system monitor for Microsoft Windows that can read temperatures, voltages and fan speeds of computer components. [3] It can change computer fan speeds depending on the temperature of various components. [1] [4] The program can display system variables as charts and as an indicator in the system tray.

  9. Wastegate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

    big turbo/low boost = bigger wastegate; big turbo/high boost = smaller wastegate; small turbo/low boost = bigger wastegate; small turbo/high boost = smaller wastegate; However, exhaust flow is an effect of power. So, another decision chart should look like this. [citation needed] big turbo/small engine/small power = small wastegate
