Diesel pusher A motorcoach with its engine in the rear, instead of the front. For many years, all such coaches featured diesel engines. Later, some manufacturers began placing their conventional gasoline engines in the rear, as well. In both cases, the generator is displaced to the front of the coach.
A modern diesel pile hammer is a large two-stroke diesel engine. The weight is the piston, and the apparatus which connects to the top of the pile is the cylinder. Piledriving is started by raising the weight; usually a cable from the crane holding the pile driver — This draws air into the cylinder. Diesel fuel is injected into the cylinder.
A locomotive with a diesel engine, but does not have traction motors, often used for external power for a rotary snow plow [233] Snake head A section of strap rail that has come loose and curled upward due to the weight of railway cars passing over it [234] Speeder, motorcar, trackcar, putt putt, or golf cart
The 1894 prototype Diesel engine used overhead poppet valves actuated by a camshaft, pushrods and rocker arms, [3] [4] therefore becoming the first OHV engines. In 1896, U.S. patent 563,140 was taken out by William F. Davis for an OHV engine with liquid coolant used to cool the cylinder head, [ 5 ] [ 6 ] but no working model was built.
SZ Taurus pushing a freight train on the grade between Koper and Hrpelje-Kozina in Slovenia.An SZ class 363 is leading the train. July 2007. A bank engine (United Kingdom/Australia) (colloquially a banker), banking engine, helper engine or pusher engine (North America) is a railway locomotive that temporarily assists a train that requires additional power or traction to climb a gradient (or bank).
A diesel locomotive with a crew cab permanently coupled to and acting as a controller for a similar slave diesel locomotive without a crew cab, primarily used for switching or shunting duties for large groups of rolling stock. Also known as master and slave. Crank pin A pin protruding from a wheel into a main or coupling rod. Crosshead
Tugboat diesel engines typically produce 500 to 2,500 kW (~ 680 to 3,400 hp), but larger boats (used in deep waters) can have power ratings up to 20,000 kW (~ 27,200 hp) [citation needed]. Tugboats usually have an extreme power : tonnage -ratio; normal cargo and passenger ships have a P:T-ratio (in kW: GRT ) of 0.35 to 1.20, whereas large tugs ...
The Wright Flyer, a “pusher” aircraft designed in 1903. In aeronautical and naval engineering, pusher configuration is the term used to describe a drivetrain of air-or watercraft with propulsion device(s) after the engine(s). This is in contrast to the more conventional tractor configuration, which places them in front.
