What causes sponginess in hydraulic braking system?
It could be several things, anything from a bad master cylinder, air in the system, or maybe a leak.
Why is Canavan disease called spongy degeneration of the brain?
Canavan disease is sometimes called spongy degeneration of the brain since it is characterized by a sponginess or swelling of the brain cells and a destruction of the white matter of the brain
How do you adjust clutch on 1995 Dodge Dakota 2 5L?
they are non-adjustable units That is true, but if there is sponginess in the pedal, there may be a leak in the SLAVE CYLINDER. The slave cylinder is not repairable and must be replaced as a whole unit. It is mounted to the drivers' side of the transmission. The unit is opearated when the clutch is pushed in. To check if the unit is low, check the resavoir that is under the hood next to the brake fluid/master cylinder. The cap on mine says to use DOT 3 brake fluid.
Why are sponges damp when you open the package?
Sponges are moist because manufacturers wet them just before packaging. Typical cellulose kitchen sponges get hard, wrinkled, and crusty-looking when dry. But adding about half of an ounce of water restores them to new heights of consumer-friendly glorious sponginess. The only reason that sponge packages are airtight is to keep the moisture in, and the water used is purified and distilled. This is done to make sure that there are no bacteria sealed in with the sponge. Otherwise, the moisture would be a potential breeding ground for all sorts of nasty stuff, and the sponge would be spreading germs instead of cleaning them up.
Is it possible to make a cake without flour and use vital wheat gluten instead?
No. Vital wheat gluten is the primary ingredient of wheat gluten (seitan), used by vegetarians as an alternative to meat. You can use a little vital wheat gluten to increase the gluten content of cakes, but you cannot make cakes solely with vital wheat gluten. Wheat gluten is used to provide stickiness or sponginess when using whole grains that have insufficient gluten by themselves, or to increase the chewiness of breads. Pure gluten flour or vital wheat gluten or powdered gluten, however, is intended for those who wish to make their own wheat gluten from scratch. It is often mislabelled as gluten flour, which itself has more gluten than flour but not enough to make seitan. See related links, below, for more information.
Why do many streams continue to flow during long periods when there is no precipitation?
Water is held in the soil and seeps out over time. Earth/soil holds water depending on its absorbancy ('sponginess'). Even though the ratio of the volume of water seeping out from a volume of soil is generally quite small, it is compounded by the catchment area of the stream - and hence there is a flow of water in the stream for some time after precipitation. The amount of water in a stream is a factor of the the amount of water being released by the soil, depth of soil, whether there is a non-permiable layer undergound that feeds the catchment, the size of the catchment and amount of recent precipitation. You could experiment to create streams of different water flow long after precipitation by filling in a valley between two mountains with various types of clay, soil, gravel, sand etc and notice the difference of stream flow in each case after precipitation. Of course, such an exercise would take many months/years to undertake and many millions, if not billions of dollars. There might also be government legislation and local environmental groups who might oppose such an activity.
What are the common materials in the cotton of a pack of vitamins?
Cotton is known for its flexibility, execution and normal solace. Cotton's solidarity and sponginess makes it an optimal texture to make garments and homewares, and modern items like coverings, tents, lodging sheets, armed force garbs, and surprisingly space explorers' clothing decisions when inside a space transport. Cotton fiber can be woven or weaved into textures including velvet, corduroy, chambray, velour, pullover and wool. Cotton can be utilized to make many distinctive texture types for a scope of end-utilizes, incorporating mixes with other normal strands like fleece, and engineered filaments like polyester. Notwithstanding material items like clothing, socks and shirts, cotton is additionally utilized in fishnets, espresso channels, tents, book restricting and recorded paper. Linters are the exceptionally short strands that stay on the cottonseed subsequent to ginning, and are utilized to create merchandise like gauzes, swabs, certified receipts, cotton buds and x-beams. The cotton build up from one 227kg parcel can deliver 215 sets of denim pants, 250 single bed sheets, 750 shirts, 1,200 shirts, 3,000 nappies, 4,300 sets of socks, 680,000 cotton balls, or 2,100 sets of fighter shorts.
How do you bleed disc brake of motorcycle?
Similar to a car. Clean off the master cylinder cover and the caliper bleed screw. You will need a small jar, a length of narrow bore plastic/ribber tubing that fits tightly on the nipple of the bleed screw, a container of new, appropriate, brake fliud. Place the jar on firm ground by the wheel cylinder to be bled. Put one end of the tube on the bleed screw nipple and the other end in the jar. Put a small amount of brake fluid in the jar to cover the end of the tubing. Place cloths over paintwork (brake fluid strips paint) and remove the master cylinder lid. Using a properly fitting spanner, loosen the bleed screw anticlockwise a full turn. Keeping the fluid in the master cylinder topped up at all times, operate the brake lever to the full length of its travel. Hold the lever position and close the bleed screw. Release the lever. Repeat several times until no further bubbles issue from the tubing. Ensure bleed screw is tight, remove the tubing and refit the bleed screw cover (if fitted), check for correct fluid level check for no sponginess in the brake lever operation and replace the master cylinder cover. Immediately clean up any spillage with soapy water. Dispose of used fluid in accordance with local regulations. NOTE: If changing the fluid completely, proceed as above but leave the bleed screw open and operate the brake lever several times until the master cylinder is empty. Replace the fluid abd bleed the system as above until there are no further bubbles and the fluid runs clear. NOTE: An 'eeze-bleed' or similar one man device is used, it is not necessary to close and open the bleed screw. TIP: If you can't get rid of the air, remove the bleed screw and put grease on the threads. Replace the bleed screw and carry on.
How do you replace rear brake pads on a 2010 Chrysler town and country?
1. Jack up vehicle & remove tire 2. Remove the two caliper bolts/pins that are holding caliper to caliper bracket (13mm sockets, I believe). 3. Pull caliper off of rotor. 4. Remove old pads. 5. Douse everything with brake cleaner. Be sure to get the back side of the rotor (and be careful not to spray yourself in the face). 6. While waiting for the brake cleaner to dry, inspect your rotors for grooves, warping, or other damage (If you need to replace the rotors, there are 2 bolts holding the caliper bracket onto the wheel hub. The rotor should then just slide off the lug nuts towards you). 7. Lubricate and install new pads (the pad with the wear sensor goes on the back side of the rotor. 8. Compress the piston by screwing it back into the housing. DO NOT use a C-clamp on the rear calipers (you'll just bend your C-clamp). If you look at the caliper piston, you'll see notches along the edge. These are to accommodate a special tool that attaches to a ratchet. If you don't have the special tool, I've found that a pair of pliers/needlenose work just fine: just open the pliers, stick the tips into the notches, and turn clockwise to compress. It's rather tedious, and you'll have the pliers slip & fall on the floor a dozen times per caliper, but it works. 9. Once the calipers are compressed, reinstall the caliper assembly over the rotor & new pads. 10. Line up the holes and install the caliper pins (some say use Loc-tite, but I've never had a problem with not using it). Tighten the pins snugly. You may need an open-end wrench to hold the "tube" between the caliper and bracket the pin goes through (sorry - I don't know what that part's called). 11. Reinstall tire, lower vehicle back to the ground, then torque the lugnuts. 12. Start the van. While still in park, pump the brakes several times until all the "sponginess" is out of them. It may take up to a dozen strokes to compress the caliper piston back against the new pads. 13. Test the new brakes fully - plenty of stops, especially in reverse. Also, apply the parking brake & see if they hold the vehicle immoble while revving gently just over idle speed. 14. After you've driven the vehicle a while (20 miles or so), double-check the torque on the lugnuts.
If you are low in coolant is that bad That does not mean there is a leak...correct Just add More?
If you are low on coolant, the coolant likely is leaking somewhere. Diagnostic procedures for coolant loss are as follows: Inspect the radiator cap for cracks or fissures in the rubber seal, or simply replace with a new, correctly rated and designed radiator cap for your make/model of auto. The radiator cap is designed such that it deliberately vents when the temperature of the radiator causes pressure to go above a certain threshold. If you operate your vehicle in hot country, and do not increase the revolutions of the engine too much, this is likely the problem. In this case, simply add more liquid after checking the antifreeze concentration to correct the antifreeze mixture. Check for visible leaks around the radiator hoses (the large tubes coming from the radiator at the front of the car) and inspect for excessive 'sponginess' and lack of normal rebound. Make certain that your auto has sufficient fluid in the overflow reservoir, which is usually located on the right hand side of many domestic autos, near the radiator. A tube will extend from the radiator to this overflow system. This allows the system to regain the fluid level when the radiator cools. In addition, check this overflow unit for cracks and damage, and signs of leakage. (discoloration on nearby paint/metal, 'splash marks' or calcum evaporate deposit on the outside of the unit. Inspect color of oil on the dipstick. If this oil appears milky, cloudy, or 'curded' you likely have an internal leak in the engine. This often comes from the 'head gasket', which is the gasket that seals the 'head' where the valves and came are located. This is often accompanied by white smoke from the exhaust of your car. Inspect radiator liquid for evidence of oil (a scum of oil or sheen on the surface) Again, this can be part of a head gasket issue. Inspect the water pump for leakage around the central shaft, as well as around the base of the water pump. The water pump will usually have one of the radiator hoses leading to it. On some vehicles (the Mercury Lynx and Ford Escort, for instance) this will be located behind an engine panel, and may require special tools or extra work to access. Check heater lines for integrity. Many older vehicles used rubber heating lines, which eventually will fail. In addition, if you smell antifreeze commonly within the vehicle, check the internal heater core's attachment lines, and the flow valve. (common points of failure) More rarely, there can be more severe internal engine damage, but this would be indicated by scraping noises, 'clunking' and screeching within the engine. This can most easily be diagnosed by automotive mechanics. As a point of advice, mixtures of different types of antifreeze (green versus orange) is not a good idea. The green antifreeze contains a relatively short-lived corrosion inhibitor that is base in PH, and the orange contains one that is acidic.
