BASIC TRAINING ON TYRES TYPES: 1. Solid tyres e.g. Wheel barrow, forklifts 2. Pneumatic tyres – air is the load carrier i. Bias/ cross ply Passenger - 2 -6 nylon cord plies Vans – 6 -8 plies No of plies determines load capacity ii. Radial Components - rubber, fillers, steel, nylon, plasticizers, chemicals for vulcanization, antioxidants. TYRE TERMS 1) Tread - has unique characteristics ranging from wear resistance, cut resistance, heat resistance, low rolling resistance

engine and then listen to its rev as if it were a tiger yawning after a long nap. The power that comes through the steering wheel and gearbox brings back memories of a rocket ship. In the back of my mind I am hearing the count down at the NASA Space Launch Pad...3...2...1.GO. Driving this car can be compared to riding a furious bull during a rodeo, if your hands are not on the wheel you can feel this car pulling away, screaming and jumping to be free. If you can control this beast you can make cuts in

DATA AND RESULTS Diagram A Diagram B (Computation of the distance of F2) 48 cm = center T1= (F1) (d1) = (0.1kg) (9.8 m/s²) (0.38m) = 0.37 N-m T2= (F2) (d2) = (0.2kg) (9.8m/s²) (0.19m) = 0.37 N-m Torque 1 and Torque 2 are equal. Therefore, we are mathematically correct in diagram B. Diagram C (Computation of the weight of meter stick) T1= (F1) (d1) = (0.1kg) (9.8m/s²) (0.15m) = 0.147 N-m or 0.15 N-m T2= (F2) (d2) = (0.2kg) (9.8m/s²) (0.12m)

“On-Board diagnostics generation two has greatly increased the emission control system self-testing capability of the power train computer.” (ASE 22) Although some people think technology makes automotive technicians lives easier, they would be wrong, the computer may be doing more of the work but it is harder to work on these new and improved modern vehicles because it requires more technical and computer skills rather than only mechanical skills. Just because the technology is making it easier

In this project, we had to make a car that had at least three wheels and could only be powered by a balloon. The first step was to create a design, I had started by creating a design but, rethought the design throughout the days we were allowed to work on the car in the class. My final car was inspired by other students but, I changed the car to have three wheels instead of four. I then used CD’s as the wheels and taped the balloon to multiple straws to keep it in place. Then, two sticks taped together

“Drip, drop, tink. Drip, drop, tink.” The light pitter patter of rain was the only thing I heard before I gracelessly forced the rickety shed open. There beheld my beautiful, brand new, blue Rotary Cruiser bicycle. Well that is what I wish I could tell you; in all reality what I was gazing upon was a cheap, tired, rusty Peugeot mountain bike. My heart wished with all of its might that I possessed a Rotary Cruiser. Unfortunately my mother thought I “needed” to know how to ride a bike in the first

The act of juggling was used for entertainment and began several years ago. For beginners, this enactment is considered to be complex. In fact, when I attempted to juggle years ago, it was a complete disaster due to inexperience I had. However, with the principles I learned in my motor learning class, it turned out to be a success. The first principle I used to learn this skill was skill transfer. There are basic motor skills associated with juggling such as tossing and catching. I found many similarities

On September 6, 2011, McAfee released a report titled “Caution: Malware Ahead,’ specifically detailing potential threats to the car industry. As consumers call for more and more connectivity in their lives, car manufacturers are following suit. Manufacturers are providing more and more ways for consumers to remain connected from Bluetooth technology to mobile hotspots in vehicles. This connectivity, along with the complexity of cars today, directly contributes to many major systems and subsystems

violence that comes about from being upper class. When Owl Eyes is wrongly accused of crashing the car, the drunk driver claims the steering wheel broke off. Fitzgerald writes, “Half a dozen fingers pointed at the amputated wheel – he stared at it for a moment and then looked upward as though he suspected that it had dropped from the sky” (60). When the steering wheel comes off, Fitzgerald
