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.

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.!
