  2. Cold air intake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_air_intake

    Most vehicles manufactured from the mid-1970s until the mid-1990s have thermostatic air intake systems that regulate the temperature of the air entering the engine's intake tract, providing warm air when the engine is cold and cold air when the engine is warm to maximize performance, efficiency, and fuel economy.

  3. Warm air intake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warm_air_intake

    Warm air from inside the engine bay is used opposed to air taken from the generally more restrictive stock intake. Warmer air is less dense, and thus contains less oxygen to burn fuel in. The car's ECU compensates by opening the throttle wider to admit more air. This, in turn, decreases the resistance the engine must overcome to suck air in.

  4. Ram air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_air

    Ram air refers to the principle of using the airflow created by a moving object to increase ambient pressure, known as ram pressure. Often, the purpose of a ram air system is to increase an engine's power. The term "ram air" may also refer to: Parafoils, also called ram air parachutes, non-rigid airfoils inflated by wind

    The Rolls-Royce Spectre is a full-sized luxury electric grand tourer manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The Spectre was formally launched at Napa Valley , California in 2023. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The first deliveries of the car were made in the last quarter of 2023.

  6. de Havilland Spectre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Spectre

    The Spectre was a bipropellant engine burning kerosene and hydrogen peroxide. The power could be controlled from 10–100% delivering 8,000 lbf (35.7 kN) of thrust at full power. In the SR.53 it used the same fuel tanks as the turbojet engine and if run at full power was expected to consume the full load in about seven minutes.

    [nb 2] As air was drawn through the air intake, fuel was pumped into the airstream by the carburettor. [5] The first-stage impeller compressed the air-fuel mixture and this was then fed to the smaller second-stage impeller which further compressed the mixture. The impellers were driven by a hydraulically operated two-speed gearbox. [6]

  8. Meltdown (security vulnerability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meltdown_(security...

    Meltdown exploits a race condition, inherent in the design of many modern CPUs.This occurs between memory access and privilege checking during instruction processing. . Additionally, combined with a cache side-channel attack, this vulnerability allows a process to bypass the normal privilege checks that isolate the exploit process from accessing data belonging to the operating system and other ...
