  2. Timing mark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_mark

    A timing mark is an indicator used for setting the timing of the ignition system of an engine, typically found on the crankshaft pulley (as pictured) or the flywheel. [1] These have the largest radius rotating at crankshaft speed and therefore are the place where marks at one degree intervals will be farthest apart.

  3. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    Analog multimeter Digital multimeter. A multimeter (also known as a volt-ohm-milliammeter, volt-ohmmeter or VOM) [1] is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. [2] [3] A typical multimeter can measure voltage, resistance, and current, [4] in which case can be used as a voltmeter, ohmmeter, and ammeter.

  4. Crankshaft position sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft_position_sensor

    In a diesel, the sensor will control the fuel injection. The sensor output may also be related to other sensor data including the cam position to derive the current combustion cycle, this is very important for the starting of a four-stroke engine. Sometimes, the sensor may become burnt or worn out - or just die of old age at high mileage.

  5. Portable appliance testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_appliance_testing

    A leakage current test is an alternative to the insulation resistance test. A deficiency of the insulation resistance test is that the DC voltage will not activate electromagnetic switches or internal relays etc. that are common in many modern power tools, computers, and TVs, etc. and therefore it can only test the appliance up to those components.

  6. Dynamometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamometer

    A chassis dynamometer.. A dynamometer or "dyno" is a device for simultaneously measuring the torque and rotational speed of an engine, motor or other rotating prime mover so that its instantaneous power may be calculated, and usually displayed by the dynamometer itself as kW or bhp.

  7. Fluke Corporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluke_Corporation

    Pomona Electronics is a company specializing in electronic test equipment and accessories. It was founded in 1951 by Joseph J. and Carl W. Musarra, who were brothers. [7] [8] Founded to manufacture test cable harnesses for examining television cathode-ray tubes. [9] the company started in a factory location around the size of a living room. [9]

  8. Manual transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

    In a vehicle with a manual transmission, the flywheel is attached to the engine's crankshaft, therefore rotating at engine speed. A clutch disc sits between the flywheel and the transmission pressure plate which is attached to the transmission input shaft, controlling whether the transmission is connected to the engine or not.

  9. Reaction wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_wheel

    A small reaction wheel viewed in profile A momentum/reaction wheel comprising part of a high-accuracy Conical Earth Sensor to maintain a satellite's precise attitude. A reaction wheel (RW) is an electric motor attached to a flywheel, which, when its rotation speed is changed, causes a counter-rotation proportionately through conservation of angular momentum. [1]
