ACIS, rival Conventional Weight Busi

Spark plugs developed by Federal-Mogul is - one of the largest automotive component manufacturers in the world - very exciting. Look at the picture, very different than with conventional spark plugs are in use today. Design or construction of the electrodes like a star. The result, sparks generated is also different, spreading in all directions.

Federal-Mogul as an inventor - is still being developed - called the spark plug with ACIS, short for Advanced Corona Ignition System. Yes, the ignition system of a sophisticated ring, or corona.

More and Save Money
Spark plugs that have been exhibited at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2011, the claim could radically alter the engine performance, fuel consumption is a more efficient 10 percent. "Enhancement of it is not obtainable by conventional spark plugs," explained President and CEO, Federal-Mogul, Jose Maria Alapont of the wonders of ACIS.

Described, the conventional spark plugs working with flowers memercikan fire (to burn the mixture of air and fuel that has been compressed) from a single point. After that, the combustion push the piston travels to the bottom dead point (TMB) in step effort.

In ACIS, ciptratan sparks generated greater. Because the sparks going on around the top of the spark plug electrodes to form a ring. The result, ionization or combustion takes place more quickly and efficiently.

Amazingly, directly occur in a broader scope. Consequently the next, with "plasma" which is very high, the air and fuel mixture will be more easily burned. In fact, the combustion process with a mixture of Miski can be done more easily, including burn back the recycled exhaust gas (EGR).

Fast and Steady
Sparks or corona rings in the form of ACIS occurs in a faster time (shorter) but steady. According Kristapher Mixell, Director of Powertrain Energy from Federal-Mogul, the conventional spark plugs it took two or three milliseconds to generate sparks while ACIS is only about 100-200 microseconds.

Ring of sparks can be designed, for example, had a diameter of 30 or 40 mm. With this addition, the combustion can be initiated throughout the combustion chamber. "This opens up new possibilities, combustion chamber shape to be more efficient," said Mixell.

Preventing Detonation
ACIS is also claimed to reduce detonation, the symptoms of burning mixture itself due to the temperature of fuel and air mixture of high (up) when compressed.

Detonation occurs prior to ignition. These symptoms occur because of the pressure waves from two separate sources of combustion, detonation and pembakran is triggered by the spark plug. When both combustion "collision" occurs a loud explosion.

In ACIS, it can be prevented because the sparks occur very rapidly and within the scope of a large room. Pembakran can be controlled.

High Compression
It is said also, ACIS allows the compression ratio is made higher. For example 14:1 on a machine without a turbocharger. As for the engine with the turbo, could be 12:1. Because the system is able to prevent the occurrence of detonation. With inipula, erosion of the electrodes can be reduced a result, the spark plug service life is also longer.

"The message pengiritan 10 obtained through tests on a system of direct injection gasoline engines equipped with turbochargers," said Mixell. Added, when this Federal-Mogul continues to develop the ACIS for machines with koill plug-ins or coil directly over the spark plug.

Nissan Introduces New Generation

Nissan today introduced the Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) latest generation of vehicles that will be used on 2.0 and 3.5 liter engine. Further, the transmission will also be used paa hybrid cars front wheels.

Nissan judge, new teknoligi is an important step to improve the work efficiency of conventional engines (motor fuel).

Irit 10 Percent
This new Xtronic CVT can improve fuel efficiency to 10 percent compared with the CVT is used today (compared with the same vehicle). Another advantage, gear ratio can be made to 7.0 and friction is reduced to 40 percent.

Incorporate new Nissan Xtronic stretcher with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) or the gearshift settings adjusted to the driver's style and road conditions. The result, this new transmission more responsive acceleration plus the increasingly fierce. The car is also more stable accelerated at high speed and reduce noise.
Planned, this transmission will be introduced first time in Nissan model to be marketed in the United States in 2012.

7.0 Comparison
To get a comparison of 7.0, a smaller diameter pulley shaft coupled with a belt (belt) the results of the latest engineering. Range comparison between the two pulleys are increasing but still small axial distance increments. The result, comparison of rotation of the engine displacement to the "output" transmission can reach 7.0, especially on the 2.0 liter engine. Nissan to assess this, first achieved accomplishments in the world.

Friction Down 40 percent
For this, Nissan uses a smaller oil pump. This method can be carried out for oil leaks that can occur dicegah.Tekanan oil can be deducted because of friction between the surface of the pulleys and the belt has to be reduced.

Furthermore, used oil with a special formulation, which is a low viscosity. Friction was reduced. For this, 60 percent of the oil pump components are modified.

Shift Control (ASC)
ASC constantly monitors the movements of the driver through the acceleration (pressing the gas pedal) and vehicle speed. ASC then selecting the optimal gear ratio according to the driver's working conditions. Amazingly, the driver can determine the engine speed and the speed of the car when berakseleasi.

Hybrid Cars
Nissan also considered, the new CVT technology is ideally suited for hybrid cars with front wheel motion, both in terms of cost and packaging. Combined electric motor, two new-generation Xtronic CVT clutch, lithium-ion and 2.5-liter supercharged engine, can be packaged in a compact. It is not necessary to design a special body, it can even accommodate a 3.5-liter.

Airbag Jacket Create "Bikers"

Mid-November 2010, Dainese has launched a racing suit has the air bag bags (airbags) are used in between the rider Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo. When the rider fell off the bike, airbags that protect the shoulders, chest and back.

Now, racing equipment manufacturers from Vicenza, Italy began to sell it to a free market for bikers. Only, the shape is not a racing outfit, but the jacket is called the D-air airbag can be used for touring or everyday activities.

Working system of air sacs is very dependent of the information sent by the accelerometer sensor mounted on the top of the front forks and chassis. This device detects the event of collision or motor slip. When an accident, a wireless sensor sends information to trigger the air bag jacket and a capacity of 12 liters fully developed.

Patron of this body have the same technology with racing suit before, capable of absorbing impact energy to 90 percent of conventional jacket. When an accident, air bags inflate with a speed of 45 milliseconds (faster than the blink of an eye). Dainese bandrol not want to mention how every single jacket airbag berteknolgi D-water, but just want dipanjang at the Milan Motorcycle Show (Esposizione Internazionale Motociclo Ciclo e accessori / EICMA), 8-13 November 2011.

machines that use both technologies

Mated Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Timing technology Electronic (MIVEC) to Auto Stop & Go (AS & G). The goal, to machines that use both technologies are more economical fuel consumption. According to Mitsubishi in a release, the first machine that would combine the two technologies is 4J10 capacity of 1.8 liters.

This engine will be paired on a compact SUV, RVR (name in Japan) or ASX Outlander Sport in some countries). Other models are also equipped with this technology is the Galant Fortis sedan Sport (outside of Japan called the Lancer or Lancer EX) and Galant Fortis Sportback (Lancer Sportback) 5-door hatchback. With the combination of both technologies, the three models mentioned, earlier, more efficient fuel consumption 12 percent (tested with the Japanese method).

New MIVEC
MIVEC is a time machine with the lid open and can be arranged in accordance with the workload and spins. While the U.S. & G, automotive engine technology die a few seconds the car stopped and immediately live again once the accelerator is pressed!

MIVEC technology is not new. Each manufacturer provides its own name. VTEC and Honda to name a more sophisticated version is the i-VTEC, while Toyota VVTi and VVTi-L is more sophisticated.

Well, the new Mitsubishi MIVEC assessed, it works the same concept but used VVTi-L engine single overhead camshaft (SOHC). High-lift valve setting is set continuously. Likewise, long opening, opening and closing time.

MIVEC Lama
Mitsubishi MIVEC was first used in 1992. It was used two systems. First, the system is composed difference in the level and duration of opening the valve lift in accordance with engine speed or not is not a continuous-mernus. One again, (used on the machine 4B10) system valve open-close time changed continuously.

The new MIVEC engine used in the 4J10, is gambungan two systems above. This can be done because at one mechanism could be used to alter the level of suction valve lift, which determines the time and duration of valve opening. It allows three of the diuba change simultaneously and continuously.

The result, a new MIVEC produces n ideal control valve and reduce "pumping losses" (pumping losses). This can be done by using time (timing) luntuk suction valve controlling the volume of air suction channel groove there.

Furthermore, using the new MIVEC engine SOH - weights and fewer number of components - obtained better efficiency.

AS & G
Mechanisms idle-stop destination for save fuel consumption. You do this by turning off the engine when the car stopped at a red light. This technology previously only used Mitsubishi on models with manual transmission and sold in Europe. The model uses the ASX and Lancer.

AS & G's latest, mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Other changes, using a 12 volt battery is more durable and converters DC / DC (to prevent interference with audio sound systems and Navitas system when the engine is turned on).
