Introduction

Car engines have been drastically improved over the past eighty years that they

have been produced. Car engines have made life much easier. They provide a more

efficient method of traveling. People don’t know how much the world has changed, due

to the operation of the car engine. The car engine is a very complex piece of machinery.

It consists of a series of wires and different types of parts. The car engine is constantly

being improved to be more efficient and will revolutionize the future of transportation.

The car engine may be improved to be more efficient. The many different car

manufacturers are now developing new parts to make cars run safer for the environment

and for the people who drive them. That way they decrease the fatalities of car accidents.

The carburetor is being improved to use gasoline more efficiently so that the gas will run

longer. The drive train is being improved so that the gears will run smoother. Cars are

also being made with electric engines that run off of a battery.

One of the main parts on an engine is the carburetor. The carburetor sends

gasoline through a circulatory system to run the engine. It also cleanses the gasoline

before it enters the engine. The air filter takes the dirt away from the gasoline as it is

going through the carburetor. There are four main parts to a carburetor: The float

chamber, the venturi tube, the choke valve, and the throttle valve. (Kuns 44-45)

The float chamber is a small fuel storage tank in the carburetor. It receives

Anderson 2

gasoline from the fuel line. When the chamber is full, the float shuts the valve. The float

will drop as the gasoline is used by the engine. When the chamber is empty, the process

starts over. The float chamber keeps a steady mount of gasoline in it. Without the float

chamber, the carburetor would be useless because the gasoline would just overflow. (Fuel)

The Venturi tube is one of the most common components, it is where air and

gasoline are mixed. The shape of the Venturi tube looks much like that of an hour glass.

The air cleaner cleans the air of dirt and other unwanted substances before it enters the

engine. There are many little jets that accept the gasoline from the float chamber. The

first jet, the pump jet, is located in the first wide section of the carburetor. The second jet

is the main jet. It releases gasoline into the narrow section of the Venturi tube. When the

tube widens back up, that is where the idle jet would be found. The decrease of the

pressure in the narrow part of the tube, creates a vacuum that sucks gasoline from the

main jet and into the Venturi. (Fuel)

The choke valve controls the amount of air that enters the carburetor. Between

the air cleaner and the Venturi tube is where the choke valve is located. When an engine

is cold, it needs more gasoline and less air. A warmer engine needs more air and less

gasoline. The choke valve controls all of that when the engine is cold or warm. The

throttle valve regulates the amount of fuel-air mixture that enters the intake manifold. The

throttle valve is located in between the main jet and the idle jet. The fuel tank is a tank

that holds the gasoline. The gasoline is sucked from the fuel tank and into the carburetor

to make its process through the engine. (Fuel)

There are many different parts that make the car run. One of the major

components that allows the car to run is gasoline. The gasoline makes its way throughout

Anderson 3

the whole system. Without gasoline, the carburetor would not be able to keep up in good

shape. The metal would dry out and the carbon in the gasoline could not create a power

source.

The ignition starts the car. To start the car, the driver puts the key into the

ignition and turns it. This closes the switch which allows electricity to flow through the

battery to the electrical starter. (Under)

The transmission is another major necessity of the engine. The transmission can

adjust the proportions of torque and speed that it delivers from the engine to the drive

shaft. When it increases the torque, it decreases the speed. The torque is the amount of

pressure and power that the transmission puts out. When it increases the speed, it

decreases the torque. Thus, the transmission provides low speed with high torque and

high speed with low torque. It can also reverse the torque to allow the car to back up.

Almost every transmission varies torque and speed by means of gears. The power from

the transmission goes from the engine to the drive shaft, which carry’s it to the

Differential. The Differential also has a gear ratio to it. The higher the ratio the more low

end torque developed and lower top end. The lower the ratio the more top end speed

acquired. The power is delivered
