Saw this baby at last month My Auto Fest car show which ran from 10-13 November 2016 at the Mines International Exhibition & Convention Centre (MIECC). This very artistic-looking Mercedes A200 AMG Line seems to have the element of an eye-catcher.
Is this car for sale? Nope, it's not I am afraid, though I kinda wish it was. The paintwork is just nothing short of bizarre.
For centuries, internal combustion engine (henceforth will be called ICE) has been the staple source of motive power in mainstream transport, ranging from cars, motorcycles, aircraft and several more. Several different types of ICE in existence include piston engine, jet engine and rotary engine.
I was at the recent BMW Innovation Day at Desa Park City and stumbled upon this working cutaway model. It was a sight to behold watching how the moving hardware interact with one another, that I could not help it but brandish my camera and record this video.
The video above depicts how a 4-stroke motorcycle piston engine works. It is still the same principal as a 4-stroke piston engine found in cars (Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow). You can see from the video how the piston and valves interact with each other.
I had a short chat with presumably a mechanic manning the booth. According to him, this is a new water-cooled engine with wet clutch system (old engine was an air-cooled system with dry clutch system). In case you are wondering what is that big round disc spinning in the crankcase, that is the wet clutch the mechanic was referring to. It is bathed in oil, hence 'wet' clutch. Before I bore you with more technical details, do enjoy the video!
