Nice catch, on the "align honing" problem with gear drives, but IH used gear drives, in their gas engines for years, with no wear issues. Not exactly a fair comparison, since they're commercial powerplants, built to take tremendous abuse, but I think any thermal issues would still show up. Ford 300's are also extremely tough. The real issue was noise - it's very, VERY slight, but people hear a noise they aren't used to and they freak out. Buick had to discontinue it's amazing 2-speed torque converter, because owners got nervous about the slight whining noise.
KNOWLEDGEABLE,The Engineering Post Very helpful information tutorial video 👍 From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧 ⏰️ 16:11 Good Afternoon. 🌧 🌦 🌂and more ⛈️ ☔️ 🌩
I have a VW Fox 2019 with 39k km. Should I verify the timing belt in the next service due to time even if I'm not experiencing any problems with the vehicle?
its time to change back.. these 3 letter light are dangerous to the oncoming driver. Especially on two lane back roads in the county..I flip anyone the bird tat had more then 3 sets of head lights on at the same time..and why are all the head lights in one lamp assembly..?? you can't change one bulb..the whole lamp has to be replaced..
We have 2015 Nissan Sentra the Car service us for almost 12 years one day I felt the run of the Car is kinda slow on reverse and drive forward the I took it to Nissan service shop they checked it then after that the technician told me they need to change the transaction oil come to the shop the next day I drive the going to shop the is not running k Like used to it run funny I got to Nissan entrance gate of there parking lot then stop I don't know the Car transmission is a CVT am a old school I don't know that kind of transmission and am looking for the transmission deep stick to check the trans oil it don't have that all I See is the engine deep stick thats all we pay for transmission oil change for $ 565 something dollars after that the Car can't Run no more after the damn oil change then we tread that to Altima 2020 Nissan then we use it for couple of months I heard the CVT TRANSMISSION OF THE ALTIMA NISSAN IS NO GOOD the I received a email to Nissan to tread the Altima to 2024 Nissan rogue we just it a week ago my wife she's not having hard time getting out to her seat and getting in not like the Altima I put 2 pillow additional on her and she's having a hard time getting out to the Car this to 2024 Nissan rogue is easy for her and the Car still need to break in and I need to drive it more to freeway we just use the Car in the City thank you Nissan rogue 2024
The proof will be in the costs. A well cared for regular automatic transmission typically lasts the life of the car. If the CVT can become just as reliable and efficient, for the same or less cost, it may have more promise.
Drive a CVT-equipped vehicle, 50 miles down a highway at a constant 60 mph, to work and back, for 5 years, and see if there is any effect on the surface of the 'pulleys' of that CVT? There will be grooves where the belts were stuck at while driving at 60 mph for extended periods of time. With an e-CVT you won't have that damage.
This video was not written by an engineer. Most of the terminology was wrong, the different metals are only chosen because of their melting point, hardness and heat transferring properties. Electric conductivity has nothing to do with it. Infact some parasitic resistance is desired because it reduces the current trough the ark and this results in a longer, more stable spark, in less radio interference and less strain on the coil pack and it's electronics. Resistor spark plugs are very common these days, but the parasitic resistance can also be in the cables or in the plug connector. 5 Kohms is the most common value.
Starting from "No part is the best part" philosophy of Elon Musk, it is my personal opinion that we are adding weight and complexity to EV for normal use. It could however be useful when extreme performance would be needed, But it is a costly exercise for a normal every day use EV. Besides I suspect, if it had undeniable advantage I feel certain this technology would already be in use in Tesla EV.
Wow interesting thank you so much, so does this means in the long run in few years we must see torch lights laser beam torch light the be excellent can't wait to buy one😮😊
I'm surprised ,you haven't told if adaptive lights has been used in very early 70's Citroen SM. In this car has been implemented many advanced technologies as proportional steering power force based on car speed. But thanks for your job. 👍
I prefer tge concept of L.E.D headlights if they had the colour temperature of halogen lamps... I have always loved the warm glow of a yellowy lamp, our street lamps used to be sodium vapour lamps and they were far superior to the dim L.E.D ones of today, but think that is the local council cranking down the power..
I've had two Vespa's with LED lights. My first one had a square headlight, which was terrible. I literally couldn't see at night, even with the high beams on. My second Vespa had the exact same LED light, but in a circular housing. The difference was insane. I could see so much more, just because of the shape. But the light was exactly the same!
One consideration that's not talked about is human activity and environment factors. What age or environment has the tranmission been exposed to during the 100k or more drive time?
