2. Regenerative braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_braking

   In the 2014 season, the power output of the MGU-K (The replacement of the KERS and part of the ERS system that also includes a turbocharger waste heat recovery system) was increased from 60 kW to 120 kW and it was allowed to recover 2 mega-joules per lap. This was to balance the sport's move from 2.4-litre V8 engines to 1.6-litre V6 engines. [41]

3. Noise, vibration, and harshness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise,_vibration,_and...

   The sources of noise in a vehicle can be classified as: Aerodynamic (e.g., wind, cooling fans of HVAC) Mechanical (e.g., engine, driveline, tire contact patch and road surface, brakes) Electrical (e.g., electromagnetically induced acoustic noise and vibration coming from electrical actuators, alternator, or traction motor in electric cars)

4. Compression release engine brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_release_engine...

   A compression release engine brake, compression brake, or decompression brake is an engine braking mechanism installed on some diesel engines. When activated, it opens exhaust valves to the cylinders, right before the compression stroke ends, releasing the compressed gas trapped in the cylinders, and slowing the vehicle.

5. Engine braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

   A compression release brake (also known as a Jacobs brake or "jake brake"), is the type of brake most commonly confused with real engine braking; it is used mainly in large diesel trucks and works by opening the exhaust valves at the top of the compression stroke, so the large amount of energy stored in that compressed air is not returned to ...

6. Retarder (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarder_(mechanical...

   Exhaust brakes are simpler in operation than an engine brake.Essentially, the exhaust pipe of the vehicle is restricted by a valve.This raises the pressure in the exhaust system, forcing the engine to work harder on the exhaust stroke of its cylinders, so again the engine is acting as an air compressor, with the power required to compress the air being withheld from the exhaust pipe, retarding ...

7. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disc brakes. Loss of stopping power, or fade, can be caused by friction fade, mechanical fade, or fluid fade.

9. Break-in (mechanical run-in) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break-in_(mechanical_run-in)

   At idle speeds on a new engine poor machining tolerances could prevent the lifter from spinning and destroy the camshaft. After 20 minutes of wear, or "self machining" at higher engine speeds they would typically be able to spin freely. In the past, the engine break-in period was very important to the overall life and durability of the engine.
