Who invented the automatic gear shift and the supercharge system for internal combustion engines?

Ferdinand Porsche invented the first supercharged Mercedes-Benz SS & SSK sports cars in Stuttgart, Germany in 1923. In 1832, W. H. James invented a rudimentary three-speed transmission. Panhard and Levassor are credited with the invention of the modern transmission - installed in their 1895 Panhard. On April 28, 1908, Leonard Dyer obtained one of the earliest patents for an automobile transmission. The first Automatic transmission in an American car was Oldsmobile.


You were told your 07 ford focus does not need antifreeze is this true?

No. All internal combustion engines need a cooling system.


What can fix nitrogen into oxides of nitrogen?

A common route to combine oxygen and nitrogen is in combustion engines such as industrial furnaces and automotive engines. this is due to the high temperatures and free oxygen and nitrogen gases in the system.


What is electronic ignition system?

An ignition system is a system for igniting a fuel-air mixture. It is best known in the field of internal combustion engines but also has other applications, e.g. in oil-fired and gas-fired boilers. The earliest internal combustion engines used a flame, or a heated tube, for ignition but these were quickly replaced by systems using an electric spark.******Are you asking about the difference between EI and a points and condenser type system?


How many types of engineering?

The engine are classified based on combustion (ignition), fuel used, cooling, application and constructions. Based on the combustion type : 1. External combustionengines and 2. Internal combustion engines Based on fuel used : 1. Diesel engines, 2. Petrol engines, 3. CNG engines and LPG engines Based on cooling system : 1. Air cooled engines and 2. Liquid cooled engines Based on applications : 1. Statinary engine 2. Rocket engine and 3. Automobile engine Based on construction : 1. Inline engines, 2. Opposed engines, 3. Rotary engine, 4. V-engines and 5. W engines


Which type of engine use a compression ignition system?

Diesel engines use a compression ignition system. In these engines, air is compressed to a high pressure and temperature, causing it to ignite the fuel injected into the combustion chamber without the need for spark plugs. This process allows diesel engines to be more fuel-efficient and produce more torque compared to gasoline engines.


What does a car's exhaust system do?

When the internal combustion happens inside the engines cylinders, a "by product" is made. This is called exhaust. An exhaust system takes that from the engine out the back of the car through metal piping.


What are the basic important components of IC engine?

The air intake system, carbourator or fuel injection system, combustion chamber, ignition source (spark or compression), and exhaust port or valve. This is very broad you could find much more by specifics looking into 4 stoke gasoline engines, 2 stroke gasoline engines, 4 stroke Diesel engines, and 2 stroke Diesel engines.


Who invented a system that used electric power rather than steam engines to run trains?

Why cant you do fuel injection cleaning on a rotary engine?

Fuel injection cleaning is generally not performed on rotary engines because they utilize a different combustion process and fuel delivery system compared to traditional piston engines. Rotary engines rely on a unique rotor design and apex seals, which can be sensitive to certain cleaning agents. Additionally, the design of rotary engines often means that the fuel is atomized and mixed directly in the combustion chamber, making traditional fuel injector cleaning methods ineffective or potentially damaging. Instead, maintenance typically focuses on the overall engine condition and the lubrication system.
