  2. Maximum brake torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_brake_torque

    Maximum brake torque (MBT) is the use of optimal ignition timing to take advantage of an internal combustion engine's maximum power and efficiency.. There is always an optimal spark timing for all operating conditions of an engine.

  3. Electrical discharge machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_discharge_machining

    Electrical discharge machining (EDM), also known as spark machining, spark eroding, die sinking, wire burning or wire erosion, is a metal fabrication process whereby a desired shape is obtained by using electrical discharges (sparks). [1]

  4. List of guitar tunings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_guitar_tunings

    This tuning also matches standard vihuela tuning and is often employed in classical guitar transcriptions of music written for those instruments, such as, for instance, "La Canción Del Emperador" and "Diferencias Sobre Guardame Las Vacas" by Renaissance composer Luis de Narváez, or music inspired by this style, such as "Pavanna" and "Bicycle ...

  5. Ignition timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_timing

    Pressure in cylinder pattern in dependence on ignition timing: (a) - misfire, (b) too soon, (c) optimal, (d) too late. In a spark ignition internal combustion engine, ignition timing is the timing, relative to the current piston position and crankshaft angle, of the release of a spark in the combustion chamber near the end of the compression stroke.

  6. Engine tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_tuning

    Engine tuning is the adjustment or modification of the internal combustion engine or Engine Control Unit (ECU) to yield optimal performance and increase the engine's power output, economy, or durability. These goals may be mutually exclusive; an engine may be de-tuned with respect to output power in exchange for better economy or longer engine ...

  7. Wasted spark system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasted_spark_system

    A wasted spark system is a type of ignition system used in some four-stroke cycle internal combustion engines. In a wasted spark system, the spark plugs fire in pairs, with one plug in a cylinder on its compression stroke and the other plug in a cylinder on its exhaust stroke. The extra spark during the exhaust stroke has no effect and is thus ...

  8. Spark testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_testing

    Spark testing of tool steel Spark testing of mild steel. Spark testing is a method of determining the general classification of ferrous materials. It normally entails taking a piece of metal, usually scrap, and applying it to a grinding wheel in order to observe the sparks emitted. [1]

  9. Guitar tunings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_tunings

    The open D tuning (D–A–D–F ♯ –A–D), also called "Vestapol" tuning, [29] is a common open tuning used by European and American/Western guitarists working with alternative tunings. The Allman Brothers Band instrumental " Little Martha " used an open D tuning raised one half step, giving an open E♭ tuning with the same intervallic ...
