High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A torsion spring is a spring that works by torsion or twisting; that is, a flexible elastic object that stores mechanical energy when it is twisted. The amount of force (actually torque) it exerts is proportional to the amount it is twisted. There are two types. A torsion bar is a straight bar of metal or rubber that is subjected to twisting (shear stress) about its axis by torque applied at its ends. A more delicate form used in sensitive instruments, called a torsion fiber consists of a fiber of silk, glass, or quartz under tension, that is twisted about its axis. The other type, a helical torsion spring, is a metal rod or wire in the shape of a helix (coil) that is subjected to twisting...

The recent introduction of stringent emission requirements together with economic pressure has led to a particular focus on increasing powertrain efficiency. This has seen the incorporation of real-time measurements to predict system behaviour and engine condition. Accurate models for all components are thus important. This work investigates the consequences of some common assumptions made in low frequency torsional powertrain models, and proposes improved models where appropriate. In particular, piston-to-cylinder friction, (crank/gudgeon) offset, and tyre torsional behaviour were studied. It was found that piston-to-cylinder friction can increase the inertia variation of an engine mechanism. Offset also modifies its nonlinear...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Toussaint Louverture International Airport (IATA: PAP, ICAO: MTPP) is an airport located in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, serving as main international gateway of the country. As of January 2010 it was temporarily placed under the control of the United States Air Force, due to major international relief efforts following the Haiti earthquake. It is currently one of 2 operational airports near the epicentre of the earthquake, the other being Jacmel Airport, formally under the control of the Canadian Forces. In the 1940s a military and civil airfield, Bowen Field, was established near Baie de Port-au-Prince providing passenger air service by Compagnie Haitienne de Transports Aeriens. It served as an...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A tow hitch (or tow bar) is a device attached to the chassis of a vehicle for towing or a towbar to an aircraft nose gear, or paired main gears. It can take the form of a tow-ball to allow swiveling and articulation of a trailer, or a tow pin and jaw with a trailer loop—often used for large or agricultural vehicles where slack in the pivot pin allows the same movements. Another category is the towing pintle used on military vehicles worldwide. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии принт-он-деманд после получения заказа.

Car navigation and tourist information services have been recognised as two of the most useful applications of location-based services. Currently, the only shortest-distance path is provided by commercial products where the current shortest path algorithms only support the single-objective decision model. However, path selection is a multiple criteria decision process. This book describes a multiobjective path optimisation (MOPO) model. Three single-objective path optimisation (SOPO) models, cumulative distance, passed intersections and number of turns, were taken into account to establish a more precisely decision-making model for path selection. Techniques and algorithms such as Dijkstra's and path genetic algorithms for solving the...

Biomass-derived Low Calorific Value (LCV) gas represents one of the best alternatives for fossil fuels. It is very attractive, because it is CO2 neutral. However, the raw gasifier producer gas contains a high content of fuel-bound nitrogen (FBN), which results in high NOx emissions after its combustion. The NOx emissions compromise the neutral aspect of the biomass derived LCV gas. Reducing the conversion of FBN to NOx has been one of the main challenges for researchers working in the field of LCV gas combustion. In this work, reducing NOx by primary measures was adopted. For this purpose, a newly designed combustor called Winnox-TUD was developed after a series of primary experiments. The winnox-TUD, a three air stages combustor was...

The Town class destroyers were warships transferred from the United States Navy to the Royal Navy and the Royal Canadian Navy in exchange for military bases in the Bahamas and elsewhere, as outlined in the Destroyers for Bases Agreement between Britain and United States, signed on 2 September 1940. They were known as "four-pipers" or "four-stackers" because they had four smokestacks (later classes of destroyers typically had one or two).Some went to the Royal Canadian Navy at the outset. Others went on to the Royal Norwegian Navy, the Royal Netherlands Navy, and the Soviet Navy after serving with the Royal Navy.

Toy weapons are toys that mimic real weapons, but are designed to be fun for children to play with and not dangerous. Some are essentially similar to the real thing, but less powerful. Weapons for cutting and stabbing have dull blades usually in plastic. Weapons formerly made out of metal and wood are now often made of a lighter material such as plastic. Toy guns either cannot really shoot projectiles or just soft ones such as cork shooting pop guns or Nerf darts with limited velocity.However, cap pistols use caps with extremely small amounts of explosives for the sound effect. Toy hand grenades do not contain explosives except for a cap. BB guns are often called toy guns, but their shots can cause bodily harm. Данное...

The Toyota MR2 is a two-seat, mid-engined, rear wheel drive sports car produced by Toyota from 1984 until July 2007 when production stopped in Japan. Sales in the USA ended in 2005. There are three different generations of the MR2. These have often been classified as MKI with angular, origami-like lines, the MKII which had styling that some compared to Ferrari sports cars, and the MKIII which somewhat resembled the Porsche Boxster. It was designed to be small, with an economical powerplant, but sporty in style and handling. In its first five years, 163,000 MR2s were produced, making it the most successful mid-engined two seater in the world. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга...
