Differential: a harmful and necessary

Differential car serves only one purpose - to redistribute torque during cornering. At this its useful function, in general, and exhausted. It is clear that the twists in the life of any car is a lot, and throw out a similar mechanism of transmission is not possible. Moreover, to fully replace the rather primitive construction not get nothing, despite the scientific and technological progress, "intelligent all wheel drive", so beloved by advertisers automobile, and a set of electronic "bloat" in the transfer of torque to the wheels. It is known that all genius is simple. And differential genius in its simplicity. Requires no maintenance, and nothing at all, except for lubricants. This site, as a rule, the resource is much greater than your vehicle, ie car, and gets to the landfill is absolutely perfect condition. Consider, of course, the average data. There are people who can "ruin" any mechanism for half an hour, but do not talk about them now. The machine is known, four-wheel drive. Here is where the problems begin. When you rotate each of them is in their radius. If a drive axle, the differential is needed too one - cross-axle, between the driving wheels. If not, the time on the right and left wheel will be the same if needed to pass different distances. Further, the following will occur: either the wheels will slip or break drives that quite likely, given the weight of modern cars. So a set of gears called the differential, promptly throws the excess torque between the wheels, helping to avoid breakdowns and dramatically improved manageability.

The history of modern motor sport: how it all began

The history of international motor racing began in the late XIX century, when millionaire and owner of the newspaper New Herald, James Gordon Bennett, organized in 1899, an annual competition International Cup, which went into history as the "Race for Prize Gordon Bennett". Despite the lack of experience in organizing events of this kind, International Cup competition had a fairly strict rules: each national Automobile Club could put no more than three cars, all parts of the machine must be manufactured in the country, which exposes it to competition; vehicle weight must be ranging from 400 to 1000 kg; distance races should be 550-650 km, and the match took place in one stage, the distance could be laid between the cities or on a closed track in the latter case, the length of a circle must be at least 125 km, the first lottery International Cup was supposed to hold Automobile Club. In the first race held on June 14, 1900, was attended by only five drivers - three Frenchmen, an American and a Belgian. The winner was the Frenchman Fernand Charron on the car Panhard-Levassor, second place went to his compatriot Lyon Girardeau. In 1901, the International Cup was attached to race Paris-Bordeaux, a distance which was 527 km. This time fortune smiled Leon Girardeau - he was the one who made it to the finish. Total superiority of the French put the fate of the International Cup in question. However, even in the next race, which was attended by a total of five riders (3 from France and two from England), was the first Englishman Selwyn Edge in a car Napier.

Brakes: need care

Brakes modern cars have lately become very, very diverse. When a disc front brake was considered to have bid for success, now the engine power from year to year increase, and to effectively slow down, disc brakes have a place and back. Diameter disk is constantly growing, changing design slides and the number of pistons acting on the brake pads. Materials mechanisms themselves are changing too. Now it is no surprise ceramic brake pads or Kevlar-Carbon. In this article I would like to share the experience of repair and preventive maintenance of brake systems of modern cars. Load boards and a performance test me, unfortunately, were not available, but work with many clients has helped make more or less objective picture. One of the most common complaints: "the brakes squeak." This happens for different reasons, but I would like to highlight three of them major. And not the fact that annoying whistling during braking will occur in only one of them, it is possible that several of them. The first reason: it is very hard or forged pads. Hard (relatively) blocks, as a rule, produce a very well-known manufacturers. Interestingly enough, often the price for them may exceed the original. They are meant active drivers. Nothing bad about them I can not say, but note that, referring to this version, you need to check all the brake system on the performance, or squeak can not be avoided. Another shortcoming of "hard" pads - accelerated wear of brake discs. Moving in the main city, to put such advice is not to anything.

"Cruiser" under number 80

In 1989, started selling the best SUV of all time - Toyota Land Cruiser 80. These trade-offs between road and off-road performance, comfort and aggregate consumer qualities, perhaps, has not offered to customers until at least one manufacturer. Now already in 2008, the car is out of production 10 years ago, but better still do nothing. There are fans of other brands, but when it comes to Land Cruiser 80, there is no attempt to belittle his undoubted merits. Warmest supporters of this extraordinary vehicle, of course, conquerors of extreme off-road. What's interesting is that the asphalt machine is not saved thanks to powerful engines and constant-wheel drive with center differential. At one time a budget option for Toyota with rear-wheel drive and the hard plug the front axle. But they are few, and they occur infrequently. 100-I series made a serious nod to the comfort, the 70-bit I like Defender or UAZ, and only "vosmidesyatka" got to "ten". On the European market offers 5 engines - 2 petrol, diesel and two turbodiesel. All petrol engines fitted with fuel injection. There was still carbureted version, but it was intended for the markets of the Middle East, is equipped with two air conditioners, stoves with low productivity. In general, not just what you need in Russia, so even the carburetor with an electronically controlled all the time edging clog our fuel. So, a little bit of power plants: Smallest and Low Power - 3FE - has, nevertheless, an impressive volume of 4 l, a good power (156 hp) and torque.

Common Rail: efficiency, dynamics and ... problems

Stricter environmental regulations and the desire for high efficiency have resulted in even this initial cost-effective system of internal combustion engines, as diesel, a small revolution. The market leader in fuel injection equipment, the company Bosch, in collaboration with European and Asian colleagues developed a new injection system called Common Rail, which means "common fuel line." Optimization of the fuel return means improved traction efficiency, a more complete fuel combustion and, consequently, the reduction of harmful impurities in the exhaust. These problems do not haunt the developers of automobile engines. In the gasoline versions of them are engaged in phase shifters, camshafts with two sets of cams, direct injection system. In the diesel versions manufacturers improve their new offspring, enhancing the already rather big pressure in its "common rail". Even in the recent past, headed by injection nozzles, which opened on the action of a shock wave in the fuel line, and closed under the action of the springs. The pressure in each tube that goes to the nozzle, creating high pressure fuel pump (high pressure fuel pump), operated by, usually a toothed belt from the crankshaft. Now the fuel rail total. The pressure at which it is maintained, - about 1800 bar and injectors are opened under the command of the control unit. Is it good in terms of power, noise and toxicity? Very good! First, the old diesels the amount of injected diesel fuel "walk" because of the different revolutions of crankshaft and mechanical injection scheme.

Power bumpers: an elephant in a china shop

One of the stages in the preparation of an SUV to travel on the road - to set the reinforced bumpers. The choice of firms engaged in mass production and installation of such devices is extremely small. And among them is necessary to distinguish those who offer reinforced bumpers for intimidation, and those whose bumpers come to help in difficult situations. Power bumper can be installed only by a frame vehicle, the remaining bodies impact of it will be weaker. Bumper mounted on vehicle for mitigation of impacts or collisions. Conventional bumpers that are mounted on cars for a "civilian" trips in urban areas, the maximum absorb the impact force, thereby reducing damage to the car from a collision. Manufacturers did not intend that the bumper will keep beating on the branches, bushes, trees and even rocks, and therefore in such circumstances, the factory bumpers will not last long. Dzhipery found out - if so with civil bumper not really run away (that is, especially not go far over bumps and potholes), you can replace it reinforced. Especially, it is convenient to owners of cars frame, which can not use the jack rack, since there is no direct access to the frame - they can raise the car behind the bumper. But all is not rosy, the power of bumpers has its disadvantages, namely the serious consequences in case of collision with objects more durable than the trunks of young trees. Unfortunately, not all reinforced bumpers, due to its stiffness can absorb impact energy with a strong object.

Adjusting the headlights

From a headlamp aiming depends on safe driving. Incorrectly configured front optics can cause an accident, it is dangerous not only for others but for the driver. Even when purchasing a new car to test how the light of his headlamp, or it threatens unclimbed safety standards. You can seek help from professionals who in a few minutes will set up everything right, but you can take control and own. Untuned beam of light from the car driver says lack of culture. As the operation of the light from the lamps gradually dim. This may be due to a malfunction of the generator and voltage regulator. When the battery is not charging enough or, conversely, too much of it begins to boil the electrolyte. From a strong voltage light bulbs burn out faster. Another reason for the dim light - dirty or corroded reflector or plaque on the inner surface of the bulb (with the lamp more than 50 thousand km of the emission efficiency is reduced by 20%). On modern cars headlights are sealed, there does not penetrate the moisture and dust, which greatly improves the light output. And earlier with moisture, corrosive, fought pouring into the spotlight of red brake fluid. Then began to use the least harmful Plexiglas nozzles on glass, but soon from these "points" had to be abandoned because they scatter the light beams and cause heating, followed by burning of the reflector. Each vehicle, depending on the year of its release, marks, and sometimes even a model, management control starts when light is in different places.

Why are people afraid to get behind the wheel?

To get the right vehicle control, not everyone immediately gets behind the wheel and confidently dissects along the roads. Starting hard drive almost everything and are struggling with difficulties all differently. Someone takes a few trips to adapt to road conditions, and somebody will not be enough a few months behind the wheel. Where does the fear of driving and how to overcome this barrier? Here is an example from personal experience: When I first put behind the wheel, I was about 6. The pedals I have not got out, but gladly took to turn the steering wheel on that chubby-Rafiq reacted instantly - rode toward the bushes. They all laughed, saying, girly and not realized that she got in his hands. The following experiment was obtained in 12 years - I moved well and went forward, but until shift gear, my mother's Tavria suffered on the tree. And again it ended in a joke, they say, too early yet. And fear no no! Only disappointment, why do not give me to try again? I can not fix the problem, why the first attempt to put an end to training? Of experience driving school can collect the material in a separate article, so that the judge about it before practice driving. Instructor, unfortunately, did not care for "free" students, so the exams I did not know some of the exercises. Not just from him could hear, they say, with the girl what to take, will deal on the road, when the ride will be. And my fellow students, who have never had affairs with cars, gave ... the printed manual, which was written as to touch and change gear!

Modern engines. Part 1

Most recently began selling a very interesting car - Mazda 3 MPS, apparently not very different from the usual "treshki. But the internal filling, compared with the civilian version, differs substantially. Still, front-drive car for the first time can be seen in action and try new engine - MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo with a capacity of 260 liters. with. and a torque of 380 Nm, available already from 3000 rpm. The new management program is responsible for not only the injection and ignition systems, but also the throttle and turbine bypass valve on certain conditions. Excess capacity, a relatively high compression ratio for turbo engine - 9.5, and direct fuel injection makes turboyamu almost invisible. Gasoline is injected under high (115 bar) pressure in the combustion chamber, creates a positive cooling effect, which enhances the volumetric efficiency. Therefore, torque, developed MZR 2.3, more than a similar engine with a standard multi-point injection. The system of variable valve timing to optimize S-VT angles of opening and closing valves in accordance with the regime of motion. Direct injection allows a more homogeneous mixture around the spark plug to avoid gaps in the cylinders. Turbocharger - also a new design, relatively light weight counterparts, which allows it to spin up faster and increase the power characteristics. For the power plant of this size are impressive power and torque, so the materials for the manufacture of MZR 2.3 to appropriate. Block and cylinder head fabricated using advanced precision molding (know-how from Mazda).

Lotus Elise - stands only to see ...

Choosing a sports car production is now so great that even the most discerning buyer can not uniquely select one of the models, which would have been better than everyone else. Each firm is a manufacturer trying to choose their own unique vision to create a sports car. Some try all the effort and resources directed to gain power and engine capacity, the other to improve the aerodynamic qualities of a car, others do not chase high-speed performance, and try to give the car more elegant and expensive look. In such a complex and ongoing struggle for leadership of the individual links are cars Lotus. In 1953, when Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman founded the company «Lotus Ingeniring Co» and created the first model of the Lotus Seven, no one imagined how far will the idea of ??the seller of used cars. Despite the unsuccessful attempts to Chapman to race the last are optimistic and increasingly keen on designing sports cars. Chapman's cherished dream was to create cars for the Formula-1, launched in 1957, when he created «Lotus-12" - the first car designed specifically for F-1. However, only in 1963 by Colin Chapman and the company «Lotus Ingeniring Co» is finally worldwide fame and notoriety. To set up in 1961 «Lotus-25", racer Jim Clark won the Formula-1 races and became world champion. Since then, Lotus cars have come to recognize in the world. Then followed many ups and downs, but one thing remained unchanged - Lotus cars always hit the audience with their design solutions and design innovations.
