  2. Carburetor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor

    In order to ensure an adequate supply at all times, carburetors include a reservoir of fuel, called a "float chamber" or "float bowl". Fuel is delivered to the float chamber by a fuel pump or by gravity with the fuel tank located higher than the carburetor. A floating inlet valve regulates the fuel entering the float chamber, assuring a ...

    Holley Brothers Company advertisement for carburetors in the Automobile Trade Journal, 1916.. Holley's history starts in Bradford, Pennsylvania, in 1896 when teenage brothers George (1878–1963) and Earl Holley built a small, one-cylinder, three-wheeled vehicle they dubbed the "Runabout", with a top speed of 30 mph.

  4. Float chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_chamber

    Float chamber (left) of an updraught carburettor, showing the float (4) and valve (5). A float chamber is a device for automatically regulating the supply of a liquid to a system. It is most typically found in the carburettor of an internal combustion engine , where it automatically meters the fuel supply to the engine.

  5. Amal (carburettor) - Wikipedia

    This led to fitment problems on twin carb installation. Amal introduced a "chopped" version of the 376 and 389 without the float chamber so twin carburettors could be fitted. Both carbs were fed from the float chamber of the left hand carb. [16] Triumph twins used two chopped monoblocs and a remote float chamber mounted centrally behind the carbs.

  6. Desmodromic valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmodromic_valve

    Valve float was analyzed and found to be caused largely by resonance in valve springs that generated oscillating compression waves among coils, much like a Slinky. High speed photography showed that at specific resonant speeds, valve springs were no longer making contact at one or both ends, leaving the valve floating [ 12 ] before crashing ...

  7. Canadair CL-415 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadair_CL-415

    The Canadair CL-415 (Super Scooper, [2] later Bombardier 415) and the De Havilland Canada DHC-515 are a series of amphibious aircraft built originally by Canadair and subsequently by Bombardier and De Havilland Canada.

  8. Valve float - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_float

    Stiffer valve springs can help prevent valve float and valve bounce but at the expense of increased friction losses, higher stresses, and more rapid wear in the valvetrain. Various techniques have been used to offset the effect of stiffer springs, such as dual-spring and progressive-sprung valves, roller-tipped tappets, and pneumatic valve ...
