Fate Participate in Racing
Lotus driver, Karun Chandhok was already a standard level of safety in Formula One (F1) reached a maximum at this time so no need to be increased again.
Many parties called for the standardization carried out a review of safety at every level of racing. It was triggered by two tragic events on the track that claimed the lives of two riders at once, Dan Wheldon of Indy Car event as well as in the international MotoGP Marco Simoncelli.
As an actor in the world of racing, Chandhok refused if that sort of thing applied in F1. According to standardize the level of safety in road racing jet is sufficient. If the parameters of existing re-raised, he was afraid that it will actually make the race run less attractive.
Chandhok also stressed that the race is like playing with destiny. For him, although any high safety standards are applied, then the risk remains the worst is always looming.
“If too many safety considerations are not running the race interesting. Fate had a big role in the race,” said Chandhok told ESPN F1, Tuesday, October 25, 2011.
“The FIA has implemented adequate safety standards. But there is always a risk remains. See, many people were killed on the road as well on the track F1,” complete the driver of Indian origin.
Simoncelli’s Body Buried on Thursday
Simoncelli’s body buried on Thursday
The funeral Italian rider Marco Simoncelli who was killed in Malaysian MotoGP at Sepang Circuit, Sunday, October 23, 2011, will be held on Thursday, October 27, 2011, in Coriano, Italy, the place where the family lived Simoncelli.
As reported by bikermagz.com, Tuesday, October 25, 2011, before the burial, family Simoncelli will hold a Mass at the Church of Santa Maria spirits in Coriano.
Super Sic bodies, nicknamed Simoncelli, will be flown to Italy on Wednesday night Malaysian time. In this way Simoncelli also participated in assisting his father, Paul, and Simoncelli girlfriend, Kate.
Simoncelli corpse
first in Malaysia and the new results out a week later. However, the Embassy of Italy helps autopsy so that the time could be shortened. Moreover, Simoncelli had awaited her mother’s body as well as Scarlett’s sister Martina.
The fans continue to take action Simoncelli condolences by placing flowers in the garden city of Coriano, Italy, the home rider who has curly hair.
In a small town inhabited by about 10 thousand inhabitants, the fans also displaying posters with the number of motorcycle Simoncelli (58).
When a new race at the Sepang Circuit 2 laps into last Sunday, Simoncelli fell on bend 11. Clash violently with the two drivers behind him, Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi, unable to be avoided. Had collapsed on the track, with a state without a helmet, life Super Sic helpless.
Simoncelli breathed her last at a very young age, exactly 24 years 9 months 3 days. Throughout the two seasons working at the MotoGP, 250cc world champion in 2008 has not even tasted the sweetness of lifting the trophy on the highest podium.
Super Sic is the best achievement at reaching the podium in third position MotoGP Czech Republic on 14 August. And when he secured the runner-up in the Circuit Phillip Island, Australia on October 16, 2011.

Engine technology experts
Often we meet at that time, cars with fuel consumption levels wasteful: one liter is only for three miles. Surprisingly, people do not give a damn and it regarded the incident as much, since the price of gasoline at that time arguably still cheap. The machines are “hooked gasoline” that time, among them the truck General Motors Company (GMC) and Chevrolet made the United States, it sells. Let wasteful of petrol, no problem! Plus, the road conditions at that time that many have not been paved, requiring a powerful machine that can give spontaneous labor as trucks above. But such circumstances turned 180 degrees at this time, after the price of fuel (BB) and soaring crude oil inventories are also thinning. Engine technology was immediately forced to fight economical, as it is society who are used to being pampered various facilities also continue to demand that new cars are increasingly efficient.
Engine technology experts also say: one should not more efficient engines, but nonetheless must be powered. So, can we see how the automotive engine industry pace with new technologies, and simultaneously progressing quite impressive. Not to mention the added factor that highway roads are getting smoother. The demand for an efficient car powered BB but also increasingly becoming a reality. Large trucks, which had been using gasoline, now more use of diesel fuel that is cheaper, but more efficient and produce greater power. These changes are happening so fast. Not uncommon, in a relatively short time, new technologies have emerged to improve engine performance.
If the first lot of engines with low RPM which is characterized by a long Conrod (sekher handlebar), so now the car using the engine with a handlebar sekher short, which allows the engine spinning at high RPM. The result, increased engine power but are also more economical BB. The machines are physically present seems small, but in performance it produces power that is so great. If the entry system to be further investigated, it appears that the effort or concentration of technology experts is directed at the engine fuel intake system. Components in this section is engineered such that BB is usually 25% of heat energy to drive the engine, can be improved. For example, mubasirnya 34% are discarded through the exhaust, 32% sucked back by the engine cooling system, and others by 9% may be reduced. The number of valve hole reproduced, it is necessary to accelerate the entry BB and air. Penggerap valve mechanism is also a lot of engineering experience. We become accustomed to hearing the engine with 16 valves (valve) for the 4-cylinder and 24 valve 6-cylinder. Then followed with a machine that uses a cam shaft (noker as) more than one, name popularity DOHC (Double Overhead Cam shaft) or twincam.
Variable Timing-Intelligent (VVT-i)
more and more machines that use this system. Toyota, recently introduced a valve drive mechanism, particularly in the cam shaft. New technologies to regulate the lid open and the fuel intake valve, can be categorized as an automotive engine technology advances are significant. Valve drive technology – named Variable Timing-Intelligent (VVT-i) will increase the engine power is greater, but still economical use of BB. Who has a twin cam engine, which consists of a cam for moving the fuel intake valve, and cam the other to the former combustion exhaust gases, the operation is “irregular”. Unlike the machines of conventional DOHC. Cam shaft that drives the intake valve BB, engineered in order to move the variable compared with the movement of the cam shaft used a constant exhaust gas. Cam shaft on this one, when pressing the opening of the valve, depending on the operation of the engine RPM. He was a minute faster, soon could be slower between 30 degrees to 60 degrees, adjusted for RPM and engine load. In this way, the engine at high RPM, the fuel intake valve will open earlier or more quickly that BB got more chance of entry into the combustion chamber / cylinder. Conversely at low rpm, open the input valve is slowed so that the amount of weight that goes not much.
In this way the engine becomes very efficient and economical. The development of the machine at the moment requires, that the economic engine in the use of BB but engine power is still great. Often, it seems impossible it was done, though in fact managed to become a reality. Corolla DX, for example, with 1300 cc engine and is loaded coolers (AC), more wasteful use of BB when compared with the Great Corolla “grandchildren”, which uses a machine with the contents of a given cylinder 1600 cc air-conditioning load, and power steering. It has been more economical with a larger engine, 1600 cc, the Corolla is more powerful as well when compared with DX. Even more advanced designs, even though the car looks small but the room inside it feels loose. In addition to both of the above, today’s modern engines are also required to meet the requirements of environmentally friendly, does not damage the environment. That is, the combustion engine exhaust gas contains no CO and NOx are high. By reducing the inefficiencies of the heat removed through the exhaust of the combustion engine, the toxic gases are discharged to the outdoors is also a smaller percentage of its volume. The car is equipped with VVT-i, combustion can be optimized.
Stand of VVTI
Stands (Variable Valve Timing – intelligent) is a series of devices / tools to control the camshaft drive (nok). The point is to adjust the exposure time of the valve with the engine condition. So that could be obtained optimum torque at each speed level. While saving fuel and reducing exhaust emissions.
At the Toyota engine, this system was applied to the intake valve. The exposure time can vary in the range of camshaft 60 degrees. For example, at the start, a cold engine and stationary machines with no load, the timing was reversed 30 degrees.
This method would eliminate the overlap. Ie events in and exhaust valves open simultaneously at the end of the disposal measures for the new intake valve will open some time after the exhaust valve is fully closed. Logically, in this state machine do not need extra work.
By closing the exhaust valve, no fuel is wasted when sucked into the combustion chamber. Fuel consumption is so efficient and more friendly lingkungan.Sedangkan machine when there are loads, timing will be advanced 30 degrees. The degree of overlapping will increase. The goal is to help push the exhaust gas heat plus a mixture of fuel and air intake. In addition, the time compression also increases because the intake valve closes too early. In effect, the volumetric efficiency is better.
To make it happen, there’s VVT-i controller on the intake camshaft timing gear. This tool consists of housing (house), then in it there is room to move the vane oil (propeller).
Propellers were connected to the camshaft. Inside there are two paths to each of oil of oil chamber in the house VVT-i controller. From a different path this oil, vane will set the valve opening time.
Advanced timing advance positions obtained by filling the oil into the space behind each blade vane. So that the vane will move forward and position the timing too advanced 30 degrees. Own the oil pressure supplied by the Oil Control Valve camshaft timing is governed by the engine ECU.
Conversely, to retard the condition (backward), the space in front of the vane will be filled and the position of timing back. Meanwhile, if required at standard conditions, there is a pin that will lock the vane position remains in the middle.
Actually there are more sophisticated system, called VVTL-i (Variable Valve Timing Lift-Intelligent). In addition to playing time of valve opening, high, too differentiated.
Stand of VTEC
stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Controlled Honda innovation results from this show different mechanisms. The main difference is the inclusion of movement of the valve (intake valve). In the 16 valve engine, there are two each intake valve and exhaust in each cylinder, consisting of four cylinders.
VTEC is applied only on the intake valve. In this valve controlling the efficiency of the engine more powerful. The assumption, the disposal does not require a variable valve opening for the more smoothly the exhaust, engine work will be more lightly.
In VTEC engine, both intake valves do not always move together. For example, at low speed there is only one valve is opened. Opening was relatively small because the characters are punched camshaft valve is suitable for low round. This condition is considered appropriate for the machine. Because of the low rounds do not need a lot of air supply. In addition, there could be air turbulence to help mix the fuel. Machine so economical, efficient, environmentally friendly too.
As engine speed increased, the need for air supply is also increasing. Directly answered by the second valve. Larger opening for nok chamshaft have a higher degree of character. Fun, had joined the first valve to open wider. This is due to any of the pins connecting the rocker arm and push the pin. Automatic pin was going to lock the second rocker arm. Because the second rocker arm driven by rooftop higher duration camshaft, so follow the movement of the first valve.
In addition there are also VTEC i-VTEC (intelligent VTEC), which also features forward and rewind mechanism of ignition. Certainly the results more leverage to improve engine efficiency
Internal combustion engine
In the ignition system, the use of distributors is no longer the favorite. Aka direct-fire ignition immediately became more optimal choice. Indeed in its development, two-cylinder driven by a coil. Then, in the next stage, each coil is directly connected to the spark plugs in each cylinder, so the spark plugs for the lighter aka occur directly and become more efficient combustion.
While the diesel engine, its development was quite experienced jumps, even the latter form is like a gasoline engine.
Multikatup systems, fuel delivery is more perfect (left). Variable valve, the valve opening according to engine speed (right)
Direct Injection Similar to gasoline engines, the diesel drinkers also change the fuel supply system. This time using a direct injection system on the combustion chamber. Of course this is thanks to the injector nozzle technology capable of working with high pressure, so that the spray diesel fuel into the combustion chamber becomes very fine mist.
The use of engine management ECU as well as applied, the system is called common-rail, a fuel rail on a gasoline engine that delivers fuel to be sprayed on each nozzle injector in each cylinder.
VGT (VARIABLE GEOMETRY TURBO)
Turbocharger on diesel engines has long applied, the intent of utilizing exhaust gases to improve engine performance. Now, with the development of this turbine, the system allows direduksinya VGT turbo-lag. VGT, using fins in the house snail can arrange suitable opening round of the engine. In effect, the attraction will continue to take place optimally in each round.
fuel injection system
Development of the machine began to creep into the fuel injection system, ignition system then became more sophisticated and grown steadily until now. But compared with gasoline engines, diesel drinkers kitchen runway arguably has developed drastically over the last 20 years.
Starting from the indirect ignition system, then a direct injection, the technologies applied to diesel engines continue racing with the use of devices applying energy enhancers, and certainly become more efficient about the use of fuel.
3 petrol engines, developed quite striking as follows.
MultiPoint INJECTION
This technology makes the engine more efficient by using one injector for each cylinder. Gasoline direct injector spray mist of gasoline into the combustion chamber. In effect, the more perfect carburetion on each cylinder, with fewer gasoline supply, fuel consumption is also more economical.
HLA (HIDRAULIC Lash ADJUSTER)
This device replaces the estrangement slit valve adjustment system. Make estrangement valves always in a condition suitable to the needs of the machine. Driven by hydraulic system, where the oil pressure into the setter of each booster valve. Automatic, even more minimal maintenance to the machines that adopting this system.
MULTIVALVE
At the end of ’80 is already applied on multiple machines with more than 2 valves on each cylinder. However, its development became more widespread again by using 4 valves per cylinder. In effect, the supply of fuel or exhaust gas becomes more and can be channeled to the optimum.
Plus, with variable valve timing, ie the time open / close valves are adjusted with the rotary engine. Various names given to these systems, such as the BMW VANOS, later VVT-i and VTEC. Of course, although in principle the same, how each one different from each other.
