  2. Holden V8 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_V8_engine

    The complete engine assembly from fan to flywheel and all auxiliaries weighed in at 460 lb, around 12% less than the design target, while net output for the higher compression (9.0:1) version fitted with a 2-barrel carburettor [b] was 185 hp (138 kW) with 262 lb.ft of torque, which matched or exceeded the targets set for the larger 308. The ...

  3. Blocked rotor test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocked_rotor_test

    It is also known as short-circuit test (because it is the mechanical analogy of a transformer short-circuit test), [1] locked rotor test or stalled torque test. [2] From this test, short-circuit current at normal voltage , power factor on short circuit, total leakage reactance , and starting torque of the motor can be found.

  4. Induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

    An induction motor or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor that produces torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding. [1] An induction motor therefore needs no electrical connections to the rotor.

  5. Forced induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_induction

    At 18,000 feet (5,500 m), the air is at half the pressure of sea level, which means that an engine without forced induction would produce less than half the power at this altitude. [5] Forced induction is used to artificially increase the density of the intake air, in order to reduce the loss of power at higher altitudes.

  6. Induction regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_regulator

    Schematic of wiring an induction regulator. Power source is connected to R-S-T rotor terminals. Output voltage is N+1-2-3 terminals. Diagram of electrical phasors for an induction regulator. An induction regulator is an alternating current electrical machine, somewhat similar to an induction motor, which can provide a continuously variable ...

  7. Internal combustion engine cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine...

    Cooling system regulation includes adjustable baffles in the air flow (sometimes called 'shutters' and commonly run by a pneumatic 'shutterstat'); a fan which operates either independently of the engine, such as an electric fan, or which has an adjustable clutch; and a thermostatic valve or a thermostat that can block the coolant flow when too ...

  8. Acoustic Control Induction System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Control_Induction...

    The ACIS/TVIS System. Acoustic Control Induction System, or ACIS, is an implementation of a variable-length intake manifold system designed by Toyota.. Simply put, the ACIS system uses a single intake air control valve located in the intake to vary the length of the intake tract in order to optimize power and torque, as well as provide better fuel efficiency and reduce intake "roar".

  9. Thermal management (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_management...

    CPU heat sink with fan attached A heat sink (aluminium) incorporating a heat pipe (copper) All electronic devices and circuitry generate excess heat and thus require thermal management to improve reliability and prevent premature failure. The amount of heat output is equal to the power input, if there are no other energy interactions. [1]
