Automotive Developments 1600-The Dutch employed wind power to propel sail-mounted carriages which raced along at 20 mph and held scores of passengers. It is quite probable that both speed and load capacity were exaggerated. Later, small carriages were equipped with wind-mills, the mill vanes geared to the wheels. These were probably the first land vehicles to be propelled by
Sections Threaded fasteners and power screws Rivets Springs Sliding Bearings Rolling-Element Bearings Spur Gears Helical Bevel and worm gears Threaded Fasteners and Power screws Classes of Fasteners They may be classified into two broad categories: Removable and Permanent Removable Fasteners are defined as those that can be easily removed with hand tools and without damaging any parts. Ordinary nuts and bolts are typical examples

Here we'll discuss the basic idea behind an engine, and then go into detail about how all the pieces fit together and how to increase performance Internal Combustion Almost all cars currently use what is called a four-stroke combustion cycle to convert gasoline into motion. The four-stroke approach is also known as the otto cycle
