Starter diagram provides an essential visual presentation of the starter system in an engine, detailing how the engine is initially turned over to begin its operation. The starter system initiates the engine’s operation by providing the necessary force to draw in air and fuel, compress it, and kickstart the combustion process. In this article, we’ll … Read more

Distributor Diagram: Ignition Timing Mechanisms For an internal combustion engine to operate efficiently, precise timing of the ignition process is crucial. The distributor plays a key role in managing this timing, ensuring that the fuel-air mixture in each cylinder ignites at the optimal moment. Below, we explore the key components and mechanisms involved in distributor … Read more

Centrifugal Advance Mechanism In the world of automotive engineering, precise timing is everything, and the centrifugal advance mechanism is a critical component that helps achieve this precision. This mechanism is found within the distributor body of an engine, typically beneath the contact-breaker baseplate, and plays a vital role in adjusting ignition timing based on engine … Read more

Keeping your car lights in good working order is really important. Not only can faulty lights be dangerous, but they might also get you into legal trouble. If you notice a light isn’t working and you’re sure the bulb is fine, the issue might be with the light unit itself. On modern car models, the … Read more

The electrical system of a car is designed to generate and transmit electrical energy to various systems and devices of a car. The car’s electrical system includes the following components: current sources, current consumers, control elements, and electrical wiring. All the aforementioned components of the electrical system are connected to a single on-board network of … Read more

The electricity is one of the most using energy in a modern car, because the car uses more and more electricity to work the ignition system and other additional electrical system and equipment. EV runs on the electricity, so the charging system is one of the main system in EV. Charging system provides the charging … Read more

Modern car has many electrics consumers but alternators are powerful enough to cope with the demand for current.  If the car has a dynamo, and its output is not enough, it will be better to swap a dynamo for an alternator. Before fitting the alternator (generator), you need remove the dynamo. It is not difficult, … Read more

The dipped headlights are the main thing when driving. The dipped-beam characteristics of the headlights should give an asymmetric dipped-beam pattern, which is made in a stretched visual range on the right side of the road. To increase the efficiency of the headlights, various complex forms are used (HNS, PD2). To improve lighting, gas-discharge lamps … Read more

It is conventionally assumed that ignition of a combustible mixture in a cylinder occurs when the piston is at top dead center (TDC). The combustion rate of the mixture in the cylinder is very high, but still a certain time is required for combustion. How ignition system works What is later ignition? But it is … Read more

A car battery is a type of battery uses in automobile or motor vehicles. It is used as a source of electricity for the on-board network of the car with the engine off or for starting the engine. The battery is used to power the control circuits and on-board network when the engine is not … Read more

The car’s on-board network is a car’s power supply network that unites sources and consumers of electricity. Cars and motorcycles are used an on-board DC network. Sources of electricity in the on-board network are a generator and a storage battery (battery). The main car electricity consumers: Storage battery by the charging; Field Generator ; Car … Read more

An ignition coil or a spark coil is an induction coil in car’s ignition system. It transforms the battery’s low voltage to the high voltage current needed to ignite the fuel. The low voltage current converts to high voltage current in the ignition coil. The ignition coil construction may differ in the number of turns, … Read more

The distributor’s main function is to route high voltage from the ignition coil to the spark plugs in the correct firing order by correct amount of time. How ignition system works Distributor and contact breaker unit consist of a voltage current breaker and high-voltage current distributor combined in one device. Ignition Distributor Construction P137 Ignition … Read more

Generator Construction The generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy needed to power all the electrical equipment of the car (except the starter) and to charge the battery. It is the main source of electricity for a car. There are two types of generator: alternator or direct current generator. We have to know how to … Read more

Spark plug construction Spark plug is a device that generates electric spark to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compresses air-fuel mixture. Spark plug should be strong and durable. Spark Plugs have the best thermal properties. The normal work of spark plug is providing by use next insulate materials: alumina (Al2O3), … Read more
