Maintaining Your Tires Keeps Your Car Healthy
We often ignore our tires unless they're flat. But they play a vital role in the overall condition of your car. Maintain them properly, and you'll save money on repairs and on fuel costs.Keeping your tires properly inflated ensures that they wear longer and can prevent accidents. Your car likely has a card or sticker attached to the door edge or the inside of the glove box door. The right amount of air your tires need is specified here.
In case your car doesn't have this sticker, you can check your owner's manual.Serious accidents can happen if your tires are under-inflated or overloaded. One of my tires blew-out on me and caused an accident. Luckily I was on a little traveled country road and was going slowly. I hate to think of what might have happened if I had been in major traffic.Buy your own quality tire gauge. You can't tell if tires are inflated properly just by looking.
And the air meters at your service station may not be correct!Ask your auto supply dealer for a tire gauge calibrated up to 80 PSI. They'll know what you mean, even if you don't.Take a moment at the beginning of each month to check your tire pressure (don't forget the spare! Uhm, you do have a spare tire, don't you??) Check them before you get in the car to drive. Write down the actual under-inflation amount for each tire. Take this info with you to the service station.Now measure the inflation again and record these numbers. (Don't worry, this only takes a couple minutes.) Now inflate the tires to a level that equals the warm pressure (that you just took) plus the first under-inflation amount.
(called the "cold" inflation pressure)If the above instructions sound intimidating or confusing, take your car to a shop and give them the "cold" pressure numbers. They'll put the correct amount of air in your tires for a minimum fee ? sometimes they'll not charge you at all.The leading cause of tire failure is under-inflation. So make a habit to check them once a month.Overloading your vehicle can lead to tire failure, too. Just because you have a pick-up truck doesn't mean it can carry an infinite load.Schedule a tire check into your calendar each month and you'll save money, save fuel, and perhaps, even save your family from a car accident..

Motorcycles are becoming more popular because of its convenience and relatively inexpensive cost compared to automobiles. They are capable of the same speeds as cars and can also be licensed for use on public highways.Owners and drivers of motorcycles opt for these motorized, two-wheeled vehicles as transportation because aside from it being an inexpensive alternative to cars, they can be easily maneuvered and they deliver higher fuel economy. In addition, they take less space for parking. No wonder a lot of Asian countries have more motorcycles than cars.And for drivers who love speed, motorcycles are great vehicles because they can accelerate more quickly than an automobile. Nevertheless, motorcycles are not for everybody.
Riding and controlling this vehicle requires skill and extra caution especially during difficult maneuverings on wet or slick surfaces.But when you do get the urge to ride a motorcycle, you would want to learn a lot of information on the vehicle, like "Where...

How To Calculate Transmission Losses
Chassis dynamometers are the devices that measure the power and torque of an engine, without removing it from the vehicle's chassis.
A chassis dynamometer has one or two steel drums, called rollers, and the vehicle's wheel is placed between them.
But, after the engine's installation in the vehicle, it connects to several other items and devices, and it has to drive them, which absorbs some of its power. When the engine is tested with an engine dynamometer, which measures the power straight from the engine, it will show readings that are higher than the ones collected from a chassis dynamometer. In some cases, the power 'at the wheel' was 2 thirds from the power measured at the engine. Also, the fact that the rollers are made of steel is important, because the tires may slip, an the results will be quite altered in this situation.
Many of the parts from the transmission system absorb a small amount of the the engine's power. This is called...
