2. Vehicle snorkel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_snorkel

   A vehicle snorkel is the land-based equivalent of the submarine snorkel which allows submarines to use diesel engines while submerged. [1] Snorkels, when used by vehicles with air-breathing internal combustion engines , sometimes allow limited deep wading capability for river crossing or amphibious landing operations, particularly in the case ...

3. Chevrolet small-block engine (first- and second-generation)

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_small-block...

   Additionally, the engines came equipped with a functional cold air induction hood on the 1983-1984 Trans Am, a dual snorkel air cleaner assembly on the 1983-1986 Camaro Z28 and IROC-Z and 1985-1986 Trans Am, a large, single snorkel on the 1983-1988 Monte Carlo SS (also, rare optional dual snorkel in 1987-1988), an aluminum intake manifold, high ...

4. Deep wading - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_wading

   This makes it different from the less extreme "wading" done by many off-road vehicles which are simply fitted with a snorkel that is higher than the normal engine air intake, roughly level with the top of the cab. In these cases, the crew compartment is not watertight, and the snorkel provides air only for the engine.

5. Intake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intake

   For an automobile engine the components through which the air flows to the engine cylinders, are collectively known as an intake system [4] and may include the inlet port and valve. [5] An intake for a hydroelectric power plant is the capture area in a reservoir which feeds a pressure pipe, or penstock , or into an open canal.

6. Inlet manifold - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inlet_manifold

   Carburetors used as intake runners A cutaway view of the intake of the original Fordson tractor (including the intake manifold, vaporizer, carburetor, and fuel lines). An inlet manifold or intake manifold (in American English) is the part of an internal combustion engine that supplies the fuel/air mixture to the cylinders. [1]

7. Air-independent propulsion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-independent_propulsion

   AIP is usually implemented as an auxiliary source, with the traditional diesel engine handling surface propulsion. Most such systems generate electricity, which in turn drives an electric motor for propulsion or recharges the boat's batteries. The submarine's electrical system is also used for providing "hotel services"—ventilation, lighting ...

8. Two-stroke power valve system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_power_valve_system

   A stroke is the action of a piston travelling the full length of its cylinder.In a two-stroke engine, one of the two strokes combines primarily the intake stroke and the combustion stroke, while the other stroke primarily combines the compression stroke and the exhaust stroke, though technically since both ports are exposed during both the combustion and compression strokes, some reversion ...

9. Willys MB - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willys_MB

   The kit contained flexible hoses for both the exhaust and the air intake, as well as proper waterproofing equipment. Westinghouse developed a T1 air compressor, to be used in conjunction with special tires, to deflate the tires off-road, in soft mud or snow, and be able to pressurize them again after.
