TECHNOLOGIES USE IN AUTOMOBILE

TECHNOLOGIES USE IN AUTOMOBILE

HONDA ECO TECHNOLOGY:-

In keeping with its strategic approach of Mileage Up for maximizing customer satisfaction, Honda launched the all new Honda Eco technology in 2013, making the Most Fuel Efficient 2W in India!

The new Honda Eco Technology boosts fuel efficiency of Honda's products resulting in a Dream Mileage.

This revolutionary mileage benchmark is yet another milestone from Honda.

Forming the crux of the revolutionary Honda Eco Technology is the trio of improved combustion, significantly reduced friction and optimized transmission in Honda engine:

Reduced friction by offset crank, significant weight reduction of reciprocating parts, low tension piston ring and improved bearing oil seal.

Improved combustion with highly ignitable nickel spark plug and optimized inlet port.

By optimizing Pulley converter ratio & driving force, the power has been maintained & mileage has been increased.

TRIPLE SPARK TECHNOLOGY :-

Along with the announcement of the new Pulsar 200NS,came a new technology named Triple Spark technology. Which is being used in the new bike. In simple words, the triple spark technology is nothing but a engine with 3 spark plugs housed in it.

To make use of 3 spark plugs, the pulsar engine houses a pent roof combustion chamber which in turn allows to house 3 spark plugs in the engine chamber. Out of the three plugs, the primary plug is the center one and is mounted in an angle and enters the chamber at the top-center. The other two secondary plugs are mounted below, each opposite each other and one of them being vertically underneath the primary plug.

The secondary plugs fires a bit after the primary one has fired and the timings are controlled by the ECU depending on various parameters like throttle position, engine revs,load on engine and many other stuffs. According to Bajaj, these plugs gain a advantage in low-rev riding condition where it extracts the best economy.Compared to KTM Duke 200 in similar conditions it gives as much as 10-13kmpl more,however the difference vanishes at higher revs and high speed.

MPFI TECHNOLOGY:-

MPFI means – Multi-point Fuel-Injection system.

The term MPFI is used to specify a technology used in Gasoline/petrol Engines. 

For Diesel Engines, there is a similar technology called CRDI.

MPFI System is a system which uses a small computer or microchip, to control the Car’s Engine. 

A Petrol car’s engine usually has three or more cylinders or fuel burning zones. So in case of an MPFI engine, there is one fuel –injector installed near each cylinder, that is why they call it Multi-point (more than one points) Fuel Injection.

MPFI emerged an Intelligent way to do what the Carburetor does. In MPFI system, each cylinder has one injector (which makes it multi-point).

Each of these Injectors are controlled by one central car computer. This computer is a small micro-processor, which keeps telling each Injector about how much petrol and at what time it needs to inject near the cylinder so that only the required amount of petrol goes into the cylinder at the right moment.

HYDROGEN POWERED CAR

HYDROGEN POWERED CAR

A Hydrogen Powered Car is one that uses the gas hydrogen as a fuel source. There are basically two ways in which hydrogen is used:

1. Hydrogen is converted to electricity through the process of hydrolysis, powering electric motors driving the car along.

2. A conventional engine burns combustible hydrogen gas in the place of diesel or petrol. An adapted car engine drives the wheels around propelling the vehicle forwards/backwards, in exactly the same way as a petrol / diesel fuelled car.

THE MAJOR ADVANTAGE OF THIS CAR IS THAT THE EXHAUST OF A HYDROGEN POWERED CAR - WATER IS THE ONLY BY-PRODUCT.

A fuel cell is an essential part of a hydrogen car producing electricity to drive motors. It consists of three parts - the ANODE, CATHODE and CATALYST.

Hydrogen is fed under pressure into the ANODE where it produces electrons and they are conducted through the ANODE and around the external circuit driving the motors. Water is the only by-product and this is produced at the CATHODE.

One fuel cell is not enough to produce meaningful power, so cells are arranged in stacks

The CATALYST is essential as it starts the chemical reactions necessary to ‘free, electrons, creating electricity.

TOYOTA DEVELOPS HIGH EFFICIENCY FREE PISTON COMBUSTION ENGINE TO POWER ELECTRIC VEHICLE

TOYOTA DEVELOPS HIGH EFFICIENCY WITHOUT CRANKSHAFT (FREE PISTON) COMBUSTION ENGINE TO POWER ELECTRIC VEHICLE

There is probably no better chronicler into the full depth of American ingenuity than YouTube. Here one finds not just computer models for all manner of esoteric combustion engine designs, but actual working prototypes of them, often built by individuals. Big companies can also innovate here sometimes. A new free piston engine linear generator (FPEG) from Toyota Central in Maine is a case in point. 

The piston is called “free” because there is no crankshaft. On its power stroke, the piston dumps its kinetic energy into the fixed windings which surround it, generating a shot of three-phase AC electricity. It can be run sparkless through a diesel cycle or run on standard gasoline. What has folks excited is the claimed thermal efficiency for the device — at 42% it blows away the engines used in cars today. Toyota’s demo engine, just 8 inches around and 2 feet long, was able to generate 15 hp. A two-cylinder model would be self-balancing and have much reduced vibration.

  

Not surprisingly, the valves are electrically operated and can therefore be better used to fine-tune the power delivery through the full range of the stroke. Speaking of strokes, the video indicates a two-stroke design, which might present a few problems for a road-worthy design. For one thing, emissions would be suspect. Nonetheless Toyota imagines that a twin unit design pumping out 20 kW could power a light electric vehicle at a cruise speed of 120 kph (75 mph).

Toyota's FPEG, in colorLinear generators and linear combustion engines are nothing new. Shake-to-charge “Faraday” flashlights, smartphones, and even energy-harvesting backpacks are all standard fare, while single-acting direct power pistons have also seen action in applications as intriguing as power-assist boots for the Russian military. The trick is to get the two working efficiently in unison and that is the beauty of what Toyota appears has done. Considering that the piston is decelerated and re-accelerated at each end of the stroke, any mismatch between combustive power input and electromagnetic power extraction needs to be absorbed somewhere. Mechanical or air springs can help although there is still likely to be some efficiency loss.

At the risk of adding some confusion, the device is technically an alternator as it generates AC. As (most) electric cars use 3-phase AC induction or “AC-like” 3-phase brushless DC motors, they could potentially run directly from the output of this device, perhaps save for some intermediary voltage and current conditioning. However, like standard car alternators, there will likely be DC conversion to charge the battery pack — unless Toyota has also secretly perfected the AC battery. There is still plenty of room to innovate here. Linear alternators are similar in design to linear motors, but one does not simply reverse the cycle to swap one into the other — there are certain control functions that need to be imposed on how the coils are energized in a motor. However that does not mean a multipurpose linear electric power device could not be constructed.
