Sentences with phrase «mechanical friction»

The newly designed engine block reduces mechanical friction to the level of a gasoline engine.

As a result, the 3.0 - liter V6 twin - turbo engine combines low mechanical friction and fast - revving response.

By downsizing from the present 2.2 L engine and extensively reducing mechanical friction in each section, a friction level equivalent to present gasoline engine models was achieved.

The result was a 365 - pound car that looked something like a flounder on bicycle wheels but was capable of moving at 50 mph on less than two horsepower, thanks to a near - complete absence of mechanical friction and a minimum of air friction.

Other upgrades are redesigned internals to cut mechanical friction losses by the piston skirts, other reciprocating parts, and the car gets a new oil pump to circulate low viscosity oil.

In EV Drive operation, when the battery - powered drive motor is used for either acceleration or regenerative braking, a clutch disengages the stopped gasoline engine from the drivetrain to eliminate efficiency loss from mechanical friction in the engine.

OK, so again: ASIDE from all losses and mechanical frictions etc., etc., expended in displacing horizontally without gaining or losing potential gravitational energy, there is a NEW CONDITION with the moved mass.

Reduced mechanical friction in the engine — due to lighter pistons, conrods and other parts, and low - tension piston rings — decreases energy loss.

This outstanding achievement is thanks to a thorough reduction of mechanical friction, improvements to Mazda's unique idling stop system «i - stop», and precisely controlled continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Just as these earlier engines have always been respected for their lightweight aluminum construction and low mechanical friction — making them smooth, durable and highly responsive — the 3.0 - liter V6 twin - turbo engine follows its performance - oriented predecessors with a more compact and lightweight design, while maintaining a performance focus.

It improves fuel economy by approximately 5 %, due to a complete redesign that significantly reduces mechanical friction, a revised torque converter and clutch with minimized slip, and an optimized lock - up mechanism.

The engine block is newly designed to reduce mechanical friction and achieve an optimal air - fuel mix, and a direct fuel injection system is employed due to the wide variety of spray profiles that are possible, enabling the maximum expansion ratio to be achieved.

This allows the engine block and cylinder heads to be cooled independent of one another, the main thermostat controlling the flow of engine coolant to cylinder heads above 88 °C to reduce knocking, and an engine block thermostat shutting off coolant flow above 105 °C to reduce mechanical friction and aid efficiency.
