2. Ford Model A engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_A_engine

   The Ford Model A engine was used to power various industrial machinery, some with very unusual adaptations. For example, Gordon Smith & Co. (Bowling Green, Kentucky), developed a portable air compressor conversion of the Model A engine, which used cylinders 1 and 4 normally, for motive power – but used cylinders 2 and 3 for air compression ...

3. Serpentine belt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpentine_belt

   Serpentine belt (foreground) and dual vee belt (background) on a bus engine Belt tensioner providing pressure against the back of a serpentine belt in an automobile engine. A serpentine belt (or drive belt [1]) is a single, continuous belt used to drive multiple peripheral devices in an automotive engine, such as an alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, air ...

   This is a list of auto parts, which are manufactured components of automobiles.This list reflects both fossil-fueled cars (using internal combustion engines) and electric vehicles; the list is not exhaustive.

5. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_(mechanical)

   Belt replacement is an obvious solution, and eventually the mandatory one (because no belt lasts forever). Often, though, before the replacement option is executed, retensioning (via pulley centerline adjustment) or dressing (with any of various coatings) may be successful to extend the belt's lifespan and postpone replacement.

6. Flywheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel

   The efficiency of a flywheel is determined by the maximum amount of energy it can store per unit weight. As the flywheel's rotational speed or angular velocity is increased, the stored energy increases; however, the stresses also increase. If the hoop stress surpass the tensile strength of the material, the flywheel will break apart.

7. Fluid coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_coupling

   The most prominent use of fluid couplings in aeronautical applications was in the DB 601, DB 603 and DB 605 engines where it was used as a barometrically controlled hydraulic clutch for the centrifugal compressor and the Wright turbo-compound reciprocating engine, in which three power recovery turbines extracted approximately 20 percent of the ...

8. Stuart Turner (company) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Turner_(company)

   This was not a model but a fully enclosed single-cylinder commercial power unit of 1 to 1.5 HP designed to drive generators or fans or pumps. It stood 22 inches tall with a 10-inch flywheel and weighed about 120 lb. Preston Services [21] have stated that there were both slide valve and piston valve versions, only 247 were made between 1934 and ...

9. Crankshaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft

   Crankshaft (red), pistons (gray), cylinders (blue) and flywheel (black) A crankshaft is a mechanical component used in a piston engine to convert the reciprocating motion into rotational motion . The crankshaft is a rotating shaft containing one or more crankpins , [ 1 ] that are driven by the pistons via the connecting rods .
