Not exact matches

The layer of air reduces friction

Our balloon hovercraft reduces friction by blowing air from the balloon between the CD and surface to hold them apart.

Breast Shells help prevent friction from clothing, reducing discomfort and promoting healing through air circulation.

Helps prevent friction from clothing, reducing discomfort, and allows air circulation around the nipple.

In the past, teams have suggested a variety of reasons for unusually long runouts, including having the material floating on a cushion of air (à la an air hockey puck) or gliding atop a friction - reducing layer of water or ice.

Such transmission tweaks include reducing the engine's time spent operating at a very high rotational speed to lower mechanical friction, or reducing time spent with an open throttle to lower air friction in the cars cylinders.

Those tiny wheels that look so impossibly small when contrasted with the Leaf's slab sides sit on low - rolling - resistance tires that reduce friction and disturb less air as they roll down the road.

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.

Other features include low friction internal components, improved air intake and exhaust systems, lighter and smaller parts to reduce weight and improve aerodynamics, and updated software that means the electric drivetrain is used up to 60 per cent more than the system found in the third generation Prius.

The engine features innovative plasma - sprayed bores replacing cast iron liners for reduced friction, lighter weight, enhanced cooling, power output and fuel efficiency; a symmetrical independent intake and exhaust manifold system featuring twin high - performance IHI turbochargers; a secondary air management system for improved cold - start emissions performance; a thermostatically controlled oil - cooling system; an oil scavenger pump to maintain oil flowing to the turbochargers; and a lateral wet and dry sump oiling system.

Efficiency - improving measures include optimised underbody air ducting, wheel bearings with a lower friction coefficient and tyres with reduced rolling resistance.

Within the engine bay, Pangilinan made the modifications many entry - level tuners choose for the most cost - effective power gains, such as an AEM cold air intake, ARK Performance exhaust, turbo downpipe, and friction - reducing Lucas Oil.

The ability to easily slip through the air, combined with low rolling resistance tires and the reduced friction in the optimized Hybrid Blue Drive powertrain, significantly reduces the amount of energy required to maintain highway speeds.

The new oil pan baffle shape reduces agitation and hence friction, while new air - to - oil coolers for the engine oil and transmission fluid increase track suitability.

In the less obvious department, Honda have made a few changes to the CVT gearbox, reduced engine friction and added further efficiency to the air conditioning system.

Make sure that your car tyres have the right air pressure because overinflating tyres reduces the area of contact with the road, resulting in loss of rolling friction on wet surfaces.
