The Heart of a Car

Automobile. Define as a vehicle that move itself, rather than being pulled and pushed by separate animal or another vehicle. So where does the ability came from? We know that the vehicle consume energy in state of fuel or gasses but how do they convert sort of energy into mechanical energy hence moving the car? What does make the energy conversion done. Quite simple answer. The engine did. How?

Let’s get into the heart of a car.

Lots of parts isn't it? And that make your car moving.Quite sure someof you are being eager to know all of the parts and their function. Yet, It will consume a lot of time to explain each and every single piece of the parts. So, it is necessary for you to find other resources as well since our main point here is to provide you the fundamental needs in order to understand how valves works letting the engine run. Cut it short, in this post we are going to provide you some information regarding to four stroke cycle which is used in most cars nowadays including the legendary B16A Honda VTEC engine and also most of Toyota engine.

The ­principle behind any reciprocating internal combustion engine: If you put a tiny amount of high-energy fuel (like gasoline) in a small, enclosed space and ignite it, an incredible amount of energy is released in the form of expanding gas.. For example, if you can create a cycle that allows you to set off explosions like this hundreds of times per minute, and if you can harness that energy in a useful way, what you have is the core of a car engine!

Almost all cars currently use what is called a four-stroke combustion cycle to convert gasoline into motion. The four-stroke approach is also known as the Otto cycle, in honor of Nikolaus Otto, who invented it in 1867.
