What is a Turbo-charger?

 Turbo-charger  is a turbine-driven forced induction device that increases an internal combustion engine's efficiency and power output by forcing extra air into the combustion chamber.
              The difference between a turbocharger and a conventional supercharger is that a supercharger is mechanically driven by the engine, often through a belt connected to the crankshaft, whereas a turbocharger is powered by a turbine driven by the engine's exhaust gas.

The above is the Typical outline of the working of Turbo-charger.

                      In aircraft engines, turbocharging is commonly used to maintain manifold pressure as altitude increases.Since atmospheric pressure reduces as the aircraft climbs, power drops as a function of altitude in normally aspirated engines. Systems that use a turbocharger to maintain an engine's sea-level power output are called turbo-normalized systems. Generally, a turbo-normalized system attempts to maintain a manifold pressure of 29.5 inches of mercury (100 kPa).

         The turbocharger has three main components:

1. The turbine, which is almost always a radial inflow turbine (but is almost always a single-stage axial inflow turbine in large Diesel engines)
2. The compressor, which is almost always a centrifugal compressor
3. The center housing/hub rotating assembly.

BIOMETRIC CAR LOCKS

The switch we’ve seen in recent years from keys to keyless entry and start will be followed by a switch to key-fob-less entry and start. You’ll be able to unlock and start your car without anything more than your fingerprint (or maybe your eyeball, but fingerprint readers are more likely than retina scanners). Sound a lot like the latest form of cell phone security? It should, because it’s exactly the same concept.
Already leading car makers like BMW have produced the protype of this security in M5.But it is yet to be launched for commercial use.

MARUTHI SUZUKI BALENO RS!!

   For all those who want a comfort car with  'Turbocharger' powered here it is, the new BALENO RS is going to  hit the roads by the end of this october. 
Maruti Suzuki had showcased Baleno RS for the first time at the 2015 Motor show in Geneva, featuring the latest technology Boosterjet turbocharged 1.0-litre petrol engine and the same was displayed at the 2016 Auto Expo in India as well. The Baleno hatchback has already got a strong hold in the Indian car market with its superior styling and comfort features, and the efficient 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel engine options on offer. Maruti Suzuki Baleno RS 2016 is going to be a global launch with its production being carried out at the Manesar plant in India. Maruti Suzuki would be aiming to get a strong market for the Baleno series in the international market with the impressive performance of 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel engine versions.

Engine Specs and Mileage:

    Maruti Suzuki Baleno RS features a 3-cylinder, 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbocharged petrol engine, delivering power of 112 PS and torque of 175 Nm, and a 1.2-litre dual-jet petrol engine with SHVS micro hybrid tech, as featured in Ertiga and Ciaz diesel in India. The Baleno RS transmission system will feature a 5-speed manual gearbox. A CVT automatic gearbox variant is also speculated.  

          Maruti Suzuki Baleno RS mileage figure with the 1.0-litre engine is expected to cross the 25 kmpl mark. The 1.2-litre dual-jet petrol engine version of the international edition can deliver up to 22 kmpl on average.(src:carwale.com)

NOW AIRBAGS CAN STOP CARS!.

Worlds best car manufacturer MERCEDES-BENZ is working on creating an airbag that can stop the moving car.

                         These airbags deploy underneath the car which will stop the vehicle.This is because of the friction coating these airbags have in it and this coating makes the car to slow downand make the vehicle stop .This airbags lifts the car for certain centimetres above the ground this incase provides safety for the passengers inside.This type of airbag is not available for public usage right now but Mercedes is working on it and they are at the final stage of the process and very soon we can see an airbag deploying underneath the car.!
