Abstract:- There are so many vehicles that came to influence in the existing world. Their operating systems are based on usual fossil fuels system. At the present sense the fossil fuel can exceed only for a certain period after that we have to go for a change to other methods. Thus we have made an attempt to design and fabricate an ultimate system (solar cycle) which would produce cheaper and effective result than the existing system. This will be very useful needs of the world. An attempt is made in the fabrication of solar powered system for a two-wheeler. The drive system of the normal cycle is not altered. This system is two in one system. The cycle is operated either by pedaling manually battery and motor driving mechanism. Index Term: Dynamo, Throttle, Pedaling, Battery, Sprocket I. Introduction:- All vehicles that are in the market cause pollution and the fuel cost is also increasing day by day. In order to compensate the fluctuating fuel cost and reducing the pollution a good remedy is needed i.e. our transporting system. Due to ignition of hydrocarbon fuels, in the vehicle, sometime difficulties such as wear and tear may be high and more attention is needed for proper maintenance.

    Shelby Prototype Sunbeam Tiger

    Shelby Prototype Sunbeam Tiger Shelby Prototype Sunbeam Tiger, at the National Auto Museum, 2012. This document is to provide an overview of the Shelby American built, “Prototype” Sunbeam Tiger. Within the document, for clarity and accuracy, this car may be simply referred to as the “Shelby Prototype Tiger.” Though there is a good amount of detail within this piece, it is only a brief synopsis of what has been collected by the past owners of this vehicle. Past owners, period and marque experts have assisted in an effort to provide the most accurate informational document. There is additional documentation and memorabilia that goes with this vehicle, but not all of it will fit into a single, somewhat concise document. Original Idea and Construction at Shelby American The early 1960s had shown that the Sunbeam Alpines had been enjoying reasonable success in the US, both as a competent production sports car, but also in competition against various other small bore adversaries in SCCA road racing. Rootes Group (Sunbeam’s parent company) West Coast Sales Manager received a bit of feedback from Jack Brabham, after a race and win in a Sunbeam Alpine, to suggest a more powerful engine in the Alpine chassis. Garrad garnered sufficient interest from a few executives at Rootes Group (though not Lord Rootes himself), and approached Shelby about building a prototype. Originally constructed in the Shelby American shop on Princeton Drive in Venice, in early 1963, this car became the model example that more than 7,000 production Sunbeam Tigers followed. The Princeton Drive location is where the Shelby Cobras, the Shelby Racing Cobras and first 20-odd GT350’s were built, before Shelby moved to the larger warehouse at Los Angeles Intl.

    impost Making the Imp H.J. Cyril Weighell, O.B.E., Wh.Sch., C.Eng., M.I.Mech.E., M.I.E.T. The following article on the Imp’s early production planning is by ‘Old Rooter’ Cyril Weighell. Now aged 93, Cyril has lost his eyesight and is recovering from a major operation, though is still pin-sharp in mind as is evident from the quality of this article which was dictated and sent in by Imp Club member and ‘Old Rooter’ Mike Andrews to whom I am most grateful. GP Preamble The Second World War had just begun and on 1st January 1940 I commenced a five-year student apprenticeship with Vauxhall Motors. This was duly completed and several years of experience in production engineering research followed before I was assigned to Vauxhall’s expanded Production Engineering Department for Vauxhall’s new vehicle ranges. Subsequent promotion to Senior Production Engineer put me in charge of planning production of the new engine and transmission ranges for new car and truck models. This included responsibility for jig and tool specification and design as well as specifying and negotiating the purchase and proving of all the machine tools and equipment required. Car and truck vehicle assembly operations were an interesting and demanding added assignment. In 1954 this provided an opportunity to visit General Motors factories in the USA to study manufacturing techniques and, particularly, their developments in the fields of CAD and automation. The wide experience gained in this time proved to be extremely valuable in the years that followed. The Beginning In 1959 an advertisement for a Group Planning Engineer for the Rootes Group led me to Devonshire House where Geoffrey Rootes and Group Production Director, George Shrigley, made me an offer I could not refuse.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received: 14 March 2020 Revised and Accepted: 8 July 2020 ABSTRACT: The main objective of this paper is to represent a method for powering the electric car with a dynamo using wind energy. We want to solve the major disadvantage faced by an electric vehicle that is the discharge of the battery in case there is no power source. In case there is no power station nearby then electric vehicle can’t reach its desired destination. To solve this problem dynamo can be used. Dynamo is a device that converts mechanical energy into electric energy. Hence by using this property of a dynamo, this problem can be solved. The description of this technique is placing a dynamo behind the radiator and fan in front of the radiator. A hole is created at the centre of the radiator to connect the dynamo with the fan using a shaft. Due to locomotion of a car fan will rotate and current will be produced with the help of a dynamo. This technique has one more benefit that is efficiency of heat dissipation from the radiator will increase with the help of a fan.

    Fall 2020 the Oily Rag The Newsletter of the Vintage Sports Car Club of Calgary 1 Editor’s Comments I must apologize for the lateness of this issue. As I have mentioned in the last issue, my Jaguar has been out of service as it receives repairs and the replacement of the entire exhaust system due to the damage caused when I ran over a starter or al- ternator that had fallen off the truck ahead of me. I therefore I haven't been able to participate in the club drives which have taken place over the summer. As the Oily Rag is the club’s newsletter, I have put off issuing this issue as I have not received any re- ports as to how these events have transpired and therefore one of the main rea- sons of the newsletter existence was missing. I must admit to calling for more participation should have occurred several weeks ago and I was remiss in do- ing so. Recently I put out a plea to the Club’s Executive to please submit some photos and possibly a short article to describe the latest Club outing which was a re- peat of our annual Fall’s Colour tour. I was very pleased to receive several photos from Keith Wilford, Sterling Rempel and Chris Gorrie who not only sent in several photos but also authored an article that is enclosed in this issue! Hopefully the wonderful fall weather that has been the norm in September will continue through October which will allow me to reclaim my Jaguar and enjoy driving this amazing car until at least Halloween! It is my fervent wish that you and your family and co-workers are all doing well.

  • Monitoring Internal Combustion Engines by Neural Network Based Virtual Sensing

    Monitoring Internal Combustion Engines by Neural Network Based Virtual Sensing

    Monitoring Internal Combustion Engines by Neural Network Based Virtual Sensing R.J.Howlett, M.M.de Zoysa, S.D.Walters Transfrontier Centre for Automotive Research (TCAR), Engineering Research Centre, University of Brighton, Brighton, U.K. Email [email protected] Abstract Over the past two decades the manufacturers of internal-combustion engines that are used in motor vehicles have been very successful in reducing the harmful side-effects of their products on the environment. However, they are under ever-increasing pressure to achieve further reductions in the quantities of polluting gases emitted by the engine, and a decrease in the amount of fuel consumed per kilometre. At the same time, vehicle characteristics that are desirable to the driver must not be compromised. Satisfying these diverse requirements requires precise engine control and comprehensive monitoring of the operational parameters of the power unit. Engines are highly price- sensitive, and it is desirable to achieve the increased level of measurement that is required for enhanced control without additional sensory devices. Thus, the indirect estimation of quantities of interest using virtual-sensor techniques, without direct measurement using dedicated sensors, is a research area with considerable potential. Intelligent-systems techniques, such as neural-networks, are attractive for application in this area because of their capabilities in pattern- recognition, signal analysis and interpretation. For this reason, the use of neural-networks in the monitoring and control of motor-vehicle engines is an area of research which is receiving increasing attention from both the academic and commercial research communities. A virtual-sensor technique, the Virtual Lambda Sensor, is described here which uses a neural-network for the estimation of air-fuel ratio in the engine.
