For many years the way to control spark-related engine knock was to downshift or ease off the throttle. Modern computerized engines now control it by simply retarding the timing. With that in mind, ...

To better understand the origins of noise, we need to think about how the rotation movement takes place. When a stepper motor performs a step, it does not stop immediately but continues to move ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc., is helping engineers stay ahead in motor control design with its online motor control resource ...

When Ford introduced the Mustang in April of 1964, the base powerplant was the Falcon's 170ci six with 101 horsepower and 156 lb-ft of torque. Later that year, in August, Ford updated the Mustang's ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

'Forget the musclecar era, this is the golden age of horsepower. Never in the history of high performance has it been easier and less expensive to make killer power. Face it, 500 hp is the new 400 hp, ...

A fundamental difference between gasoline and diesel engines is that a gasoline engine uses spark ignition while a diesel engine uses compression ignition. Before we delve deeper, let's understand how ...

Your engine’s spark plugs are one of its smallest and most important, parts. We look at some of the best. The engine in your car, truck, or crossover operates on the simple principle of capturing the ...

Spark plugs play a key role in keeping your engine running, since it's that little jolt of electricity that ignites the fuel/air mixture in a motor's cylinders. And that little spark has to be ...
