In 1924 French firm Le Cyclo introduced a gear-shifting bicycle with a two sprocket freewheel, which let riders to go uphill with more ease. In the late 1920s, Le Cyclo began using both front and rear derailleurs in combination with a double chainring, giving the bicycle twice as many gears. In the early 1930s, Le Cyclo invented a four sprocket ...
Modern automatic transmissions also have a wheel speed sensor input to determine the true speed of the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is going downhill or uphill and also adapt gear changes according to road speeds, and also whether to decouple the torque converter at a standstill to improve fuel consumption and reduce load on running ...
Example energy flows for a late-model (pre-2009) midsize passenger car: (a) urban driving; (b) highway driving. Source: U.S. Department of Energy [4] [5] Most of the fuel energy loss in cars occurs in the thermodynamic losses of the engine. Specifically, for driving at an average of 60 kilometres per hour (37 mph), approximately 33% of the ...
The Electric Brae is a road on which cyclists pedal hard to ride downhill, then rest while coasting uphill. Even a car in neutral will look like it's starting to roll up the hill.
a thermostat to control temperature by varying the amount of coolant going to the radiator; a fan to draw cool air through the radiator. The combustion process produces a large amount of heat. If heat were allowed to increase unchecked, detonation would occur, and components outside the engine would fail due to excessive temperature. To combat ...
The cold sting of a car guy – a New Jersey kid who fell in love with autos at 3 years old when he got Hot Wheels cars from his dad – being handed his walking papers via email would grab the ...
This is a most convincing site: for a distance of about 40 meters (yards), the uphill-going road changes inclination to become very slightly downhill, before it becomes uphill again. Within this stretch of the road, the car will move slowly (which adds to the spookiness of the situation) on its own, and then it will come to a halt.
