The Electric Vehicles use batteries as a power source. These batteries need to be charged periodically to cater to the power requirements of the vehicle. Charging restores the batteries to their original state and helps them regain their stored energy once again. But charging an EV can be a time-consuming process. Also, the lack of charging infra is preventing the users from buying Electric Vehicles. In recent days many companies have started investing in the development of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations to help people find charging solutions for their EVs. These stations utilize some v ..read more

GIF Credits: Imgur The engine is the most important component of a vehicle. It is known as the powerhouse of the automobile. It converts the chemical energy of the fuel into mechanical energy, which propels the vehicle. Most of the vehicles today are fitted with internal combustion engines.  The engines are classified into various types based on certain criteria. Some of those criteria are: 1. Mode of combustion 2. Fuel Used 3. Number of strokes 4. Number of cylinders 5. Arrangement of cylinders  6. Type of cooling etc. There are numerous other criteria and henc ..read more

The vehicles are one of the major sources of air pollution. They release many gases which are degrading the quality of the air we breathe in. These harmful pollutants are not only affecting the human health but also disturbing the overall environmental setup by causing disasters like global warming. According to a report of WHO, air pollution was responsible for 4.2 million deaths worldwide in 2016. According to some other reports, vehicular emissions account for about 15 percent of India's total air pollution. For India, the concerns are at their peak, since it has some of the most pollut ..read more

The word petroleum is derived from the Latin words petro meaning 'rock' and oleum meaning 'oil'. It forms under the ground and extracted by drilling oil wells. The petroleum fuels like Petrol, Diesel and Natural Gas the main source of power today. They serve as fuel for automobiles, machines, factories, powerplants, aeroplanes, ships etc. The petroleum products are also used as raw materials in industries like cosmetics, drugs, chemicals, fertilizers and lubricants etc. Each and every economic activity in the world is dependent somehow on petroleum products. The world economy has got s ..read more

Spark Plugs are the most important components of the vehicle's ignition system. They are used in SI or gasoline engines to ignite the air-fuel mixture. This small component is so vital for the vehicle that it can not even start without it.  The Spark Plugs generate spark by the phenomenon of Electric breakdown. They covert the high voltage from the ignition coil to spark which helps in the combustion of charge inside the engine.  Table Of Contents How Spark Plugs Work? The spark plug consists of a steel shell or covering. Inside the shell, lies a central electrode. The ..read more

The invention of the wheel of one of the greatest invention of mankind. For a long time, the wooden and metallic wheels were used. These wheels served their purpose well and remained popular for long. But these wheels were unstable and prone to break on jerks. Also, they were not able to absorb the road shocks and were not useful from safety and comfort point of view. Later, the engineers improvised these wheels by putting a layer of rubber on their surface. This experiment proved to be quite useful and paved the way for the invention of pneumatic tyres. The development of pneumatic tyres a ..read more

Any vehicle which can be powered by two or more sources is called a Hybrid vehicle.  A very common example of the Hybrid vehicle is the Mopeds, which are powered by Engine and pedal both. Alternatively, you can think of an electric bike, which can be powered by an electric motor or can be pedalled mechanically. Other examples may have a combination of Fuel Cell and a battery, IC engine and pneumatic air or IC engine and hydraulic motor. All these Hybrid vehicles use two different power sources and combine them together to improve the performance of vehicles. Most of these systems ..read more

We will not stop until every car on the road is electric                                             Elon Musk Engineers all over the world are striving hard to develop emission less cars. The Electric Vehicles or EVs have emerged as a hope for them. The EVs has proven their potential to completely replace the IC engine cars.  EVs are powered by batteries, which can be charged easily by electricity.  These vehicles are emission-free and do not release any pollutant ..read more

Engines have very large number of moving components. These components move relative to each other and bear huge amount of friction. This friction generates heat and is responsible for wear and tear of the Engine Components. In many cases, the wear and tear may get so severe that it starts affecting the engine performance. Also, the heat generated due to friction may get such higher that, it may even weld the contact surfaces together. Hence, we need to prevent the direct contact between the moving components of the Engine. This is done by providing proper lubrication to the engine component ..read more
