Highly accurate cylinder pressure data can be acquired using a wall-mounted and water-cooled quartz piezoelectric transducer. However, this type of transducer does not satisfy the cost and packaging ...

With many auto racing formulae now requiring engines to last many races or a whole season, the new AVL DPM 800 (DPM stands for Dynamic Pressure Measurement) is a gadget many autosport race teams will ...

Some Enginology columns ago, we spoke about the functionality and benefits derived from in-cylinder pressure measurement in increments of crankshaft angles. In that discussion, we noted several useful ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 114, Section 3: JOURNAL OF ENGINES (2005), pp. 1370-1381 (12 pages) One of the major problems limiting the accuracy of piezoelectric transducers for cylinder pressure the ...

If all those engine goodies don’t result in cylinder pressure, performance is sure to disappoint, and there’s more to the story than you think. To celebrate HOT ROD's 75th anniversary, we teamed up ...

The whole idea behind why forced induction works has to do with one thing—pressure. The turbo generates pressure, the intake manifold contains that pressure and, as a result, you end up with a whole ...

The AST5300 wet/wet differential pressure sensor from American Sensor Technologies, Mount Olive, N. J., measures the difference in pressure between two points, and, when used with signal processing, ...

TESLA MOTORS has had great success with its Model S luxury electric car, which has outsold its petrol-powered equivalents since being launched in America last year. Even so, the prospects for ...
