GM Answers US President s Request with Two Hybrid Vehicles February 2, 2006 No Comments GM Logo

Just a day after America heard President Bush s plea for the development of alternative sources of energy in his State of the Union address, GM immediately came up with an answer. The corporation s answer: two new hybrid vehicles! wipro

The news came out Wednesday after GM confirmed earlier reports that it will start building two new hybrid sport utility vehicles%he Chevrolet Tahoe and the GMC Yukon%y the end of the year in Arlington, Texas, with the vehicles transmissions to be developed at a transmission plant in Baltimore, Maryland. But the two new vehicles are not just ordinary vehicles. These vehicles will make use of the two-mode hybrid technology. lap top

The two-mode hybrid technology is a technology developed by GM in partnership with Chrysler Corporation. The technology has been unveiled earlier in the North American International Auto Show with the Graphyte SUV and the Opel Astra Diesel Hybrid concept vehicles. Like most other hybrids, the two-mode hybrid technology allows vehicles to run in either gasoline or electricity. The difference is that the technology uses two motors together with the vehicle s engine and offers two modes of fuel optimization%he input split mode and the compound split mode. refurbished

The input split mode is designed for low speed driving and moderate load trailer towing. In this mode, the vehicle can run with just the engine, just the motor, or with both the engine and the motor. In any instance where one of the electric motors will be used to drive the vehicle, the other motor would serve as a generator. memory

The compound split mode, on the other hand, is designed to optimize fuel consumption at higher speeds. In this second mode, the two motors would operate selectively in motoring or generating modes depending on the vehicle speed. This mode also allows the electric motors to aid in the operation of other engine technologies like the Displacement on Demand or DoD. intel

With the two-mode hybrid technology, GM claims that the mileage of SUVs would increase by 25%. For the GMC Yukon, that would mean jumping to the 20 mpg range from the 16 mpg range. Well that s definitely a big fuel improvement. as400

Window Regulators: Manual and Power July 7, 2006 1 Comment

Among the many control components installed in every vehicle is the window regulator. The window regulator takes charge of the window glasses. This allows both the vehicle driver and the passengers to raise or lower the windows whenever they need to or feel to. Normally, the window regulator is most accessible to the nearest person closest to the particular window. And with the new cars of today, the window winding mechanisms allow th e driver to have full control over all the windows of the vehicle. printers

There are two basic types of window regulators: the manual window regulator and the electric window regulator. A typical manual window regulator set up raises or lowers the window using a hand crank. The rotation of the various gears activates the mechanical plate, thus raising or lowering the window glasses. The window bar and the linkage arm function as the support of the window glass. technology

The electric window regulator, also coined as power or automatic window regulator, basically does the same thing, except that everything is performed automatically in a touch of a button. A small electric motor integrated with the switching components of the vehicle activates the functional gears that raises or lowers the windows. mainframe

Power windows are great when they work. A bad power window motor or window regulator takes the fun out of driving. Motorists and passengers alike give utmost concern to comfort and convenience. Unfortunately, car window regulators sometimes give up the ghost, and you re stuck with a car window that won t open or close. Car window regulators and window motors can freeze up or get clogged and render your power windows useless. Worse, power window motors and window regulators are quite expensive to repair or replace. samsung
