Only eight companies are the automotive sector in Albacete province, counting the vehicle manufacturing activities, the manufacture of bodies and trailers, manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment and other manufacturing components and parts. Not included, of course, businesses engaged in the repair of vehicles. The statistic is part of a comprehensive study on the situation of companies involved in the manufacture of vehicles and their components, a document prepared by the Observatory of Occupations of Public Employment Service (SEPE). The eight companies involved in Albacete are five bodies, trailers, and three dedicated to the manufacture of parts and accessories for vehicles.

These eight companies employing fewer than 300 workers in the province. 272, in particular, according to the study, performed with the hiring figures of 2010. Although the sector has no weight in Albacete has in other places, people employed in these companies are now over. In the last year the Social Security members in any of these activities have grown by 6.7%, and in particular is an increase that occurs in workers in manufacturing parts, components and accessories. Albacete no workers employed in vehicle manufacture or production of electrical and electronic equipment.

We have changed this year but the consequences of the economic crisis are still noticing. This Sunday we will stop in the field of automotive .2011 has been rated by professional dealers and a horrible year for the sector. The figures are not only endorse this view. Vehicle registrations in Euskadi have fallen 25.83% in 2011. From 9:00 am analyze these data with Juan Maria Lopez, Secretary General of the Automobile Association of Gipuzkoa and Anthony Ugarte, LEJAUTO Manager, PEUGEOT dealer.

Leading is not doing mathematics with the notes, but to go perfuming the score”. Juanjo are the words of Ocon, Director of the Youth Orchestra of Euskadi leading spraying essence of patience and work in the EGO for over ten years. Chat with him this Sunday starting at 10:30 h.

After the January 6, after the holidays, our body still suffers gastronomic excesses, constipation or heartburn . It is good time to start again to properly manage food, since it will help Dr. Javier Andrés Novales of San Juan de Dios Hospital in Santurce on Sunday from 9:30 am Death is one of the taboo subjects in our society , especially if you link the world of children. How can you tell a child that his grandmother, a neighbor or Amatxu are gone forever? Remove the fear and deal with this reality is what has claimed the professor of the UPV-EHU Arna Txabi l in his thesis” The treatment of death in children picture book.” With Charles on Sunday from 11:00.

On December 24 Navarra School of Theatre confirmed that the Government of Navarre funding cut by 90%, a decision that has already generated the first consequences. From the 9th of January, the school has been forced to suspend the activity of the room and part of the teaching profession. In Euskadi Weekend Today we’ll talk with Javier Perez Eguaras, Technical Director of Navarra School Theatre, on the future of the center.

This week we learned that the film ” The spark of life ” at the Berlinale will be out of competition.

locking differentials, the distribution of torque between the two axle shafts is always in proportion to its speed.

The Torsen differential torque sensitive is the only splits torque independently of the speed of each axis.
Audi is one brand of wheel-drive vehicles to bet that most of the Torsen differential. Although some of their models are also equipped with the Haldex system Torsen differential advantages are obvious compared to the alternatives, the distribution of force capable of directing each of the wheels is its main strength.

The economic cost of mounting this kind of difference is the main problem of vehicle manufacturers.
The brunt of this differential is also a reference point to which the manufacturers to decide for other AWD systems.

The 2010 Range Rover is equipped with an advanced Adaptive Dynamics system that further enhances the ride quality unsurpassed feature of the Range Rover, with a higher level of refinement and body control.

This is the first system in the world produced in series using a predictive technology to continuously optimize the configuration of the shock absorbers according to the broadest range of possible conditions. The conventional damper units have been replaced by Patronymic Valve Technology ™ high-precision adjustment valves incorporate constant.

Predictive technology continuously adjusts the shock absorbers at each wheel between a configuration “soft” comfort-oriented, and a setting “hard” that provides firm body control, the damping pressure is controlled at each wheel 500 times per second . The system optimizes the control gear and the body and immediately responds to the demands of the prevailing driving style and terrain, both on road and off-road driving situations.

The conventional variable damping system are programmed with up to five damping curves, although most have two or three. The unique system control unit of Adaptive Dynamics Land Rover is designed to operate very differently. Instead of measuring what has happened, the system acts Range Rover predictive mode, adjusting the damping to how the car will behave, based both on what the driver is asked to do as the forces and accelerations acting on the vehicle.

Instead of conventional shock absorber system utilizes Adaptive Dynamics units incorporate precision-damper valve technology for continuous adjustment, Bilstein DampTronic unit.

The key to continuous and proactive control of the damper is the electronic control unit in his heart, something unique to Land Rover. Nanosecond nanosecond Adaptive Dynamics gets the best performance possible in every driving situation.

* Minor speed of rotation as the rotors rotate at 1 / 3 of the shaft speed, main engine parts move more slowly than a conventional engine, increasing reliability.
* Lower vibration: since the internal engine inertia are very small (no crank or flywheel, or piston travel), only the small vibrations in the eccentric are expressed.
* Less weight: due to the smaller number of components forming the engine compared to the piston and are generally built as two or three engines of 600cc or 700cc rotors each, helps achieve a lower final weight of it.

Disadvantages
* Emissions: it is more difficult (though not impossible) to meet the standards of emissions.
* Maintenance Cost: not being so widespread, costly maintenance.
* Consumption: thermodynamic efficiency (power-consumption ratio) is reduced by the elongated shape of the combustion chambers and low compression ratio.
* Hard sealing: it is very difficult to isolate each of the 3 sections of the rotating cylinder, which must be impervious to each other for a smooth operation. In addition it is necessary to change the sealing system every 6 years or so, its strong wear.
* Synchronization: synchronization of various components of the engine should be very good to prevent the explosion is to start before the rotary piston is in the proper position. If not, push the ignition on the one desired, and can damage the engine. Read the rest of this entry »

The Wankel engine is a type of internal combustion engine invented by Felix Wankel, which uses rotors instead of pistons reciprocating engines.

Wankel rotary engine designed in 1924 and received his patent in 1929. During the 1940s he devoted himself to improving the design. There was a considerable effort in developing rotary engines in 1950 and 1960. It was particularly interesting to function in a smooth, quiet and reliable, thanks to the simplicity of its design.

Or Wankel rotary engine, named after its creator Dr. Felix Wankel is an internal combustion engine works in a completely different way of reciprocating engines.

In a reciprocating engine, the same volume (cylinder) are made on 4 different jobs – intake, compression, combustion and exhaust. In a Wankel engine are developed the same 4 times but in different places of the housing or block, is like having a dedicated cylinder for each stroke, the piston moving continually from one to another. More specifically, the cylinder is an 8-shaped cavity within which is a triangular piston performs a rotation center variable. This piston communicates its rotary motion to a crankshaft that is within, and which rotates as a single center. Read the rest of this entry »

Systems of gasoline direct injection was employed for many years coupled mechanical injection systems for diesel engines to gasoline engines or gasoline. They consisted of a mechanical pump that pushes the gas through a duct to a nozzle placed in the combustion chamber. But this system was soon dropped because of its high cost. Other injection systems that have been applied to automobiles have been indirect injection. In this case, the nozzle is not placed in the combustion chamber but in the intake manifold.

For over a decade, Mitsubishi first and then other brands such as Renault and Volkswagen have returned to this technology, which now, thanks to advances in electronics and mechanical technology is far more viable.

Features
The main difference with indirect injection systems is the placement of the injector. But it is not the only one. By placing the nozzle into the combustion chamber, it is necessary to provide fuel when making stages of admission or compression. While on a indirect injection, the fuel input could be done at any time (with the throttle open or closed). Having to be the injection of very precise (time and amount) have not been able to implement this type of power system until the technology has allowed. Read the rest of this entry »

The multitronic is a continuously variable transmission. It combines the dynamics and the saving of a manual gearbox with the convenience of the automatic transmission. Through its relationships and its continuously variable adaptive control assignments, the multitronic always uses the optimum range of engine speeds.

The smooth and powerful acceleration multitronic resulting system is a huge advantage over conventional automatic transmissions, and because the motor operates close to its optimum point of operation, fuel consumption is typically less than a box of manual changes.

A string of sheet steel works in tension in an oil bath between two pairs of bevel gears of varying diameter, which form the drive. The chain consists of more than 1,000 pictures and 75 pairs of rings, it can transmit torque of up to 330 Newton meters. If the faces of the two bevel join or separate, this causes the chain plates move toward the inside or outside of the pairs of bevel gears and, therefore, a continuous adjustment of the gear ratio to get the optimum in every driving situation.

America is a nation on wheels. In almost every part of the United States, people rely on automobiles for their transportation needs. For many people, an unexpected car defect may mean you can not get to go to work or to educate themselves easily. But sometimes defects are much more serious car. When the brakes of a vehicle safety belt, or other important components are defective, automobile accidents would be survivors in a normal car can prove fatal.
Perhaps the most crucial component of any car is its brakes. Brakes insurance are absolutely essential to keep a vehicle under control. Even in relatively slow traffic in the city, a sudden loss of the ability to slow, even a partial loss, can result as a shock. Our bodies are not built to withstand impact forces of car, so low speed collisions can cause injuries such as whiplash and shock.

Defective Seatbelts placed almost as great a risk as faulty brakes. Although brakes are essential to maintain control of a car, seat belts become the most important part of a vehicle much at the time of impact. Seat belts have a long-proven method of security that has been used for nearly a century in various ways to save millions of lives. A defective seat belt not only fails to restrain the occupants of a vehicle, can still cause loss of limb or death.
The failure of the car seat is one of the prime causes of accidental death for children. It is dangerous for a young child riding in a car without a car seat, as they can slide down the seat belts and car seats are not always properly designed. Each component of a car seat is supposed to be designed to strict standards of security and certainty, but that does not prevent some manufacturers from selling products that are inadequate.

People who have been injured by automobile defects and their families have the right to seek compensation for your medical expenses, for losses and suffering. To make a complaint, they can offset the impact of his serious wounds in their lives to get on with their lives.

Whether you have paid large amounts for a luxury sports car, or that its investment has been modest in a used car to go to work and walk with the family this weekend. Keep the vehicle in the best conditions will always be a major concern of the owner, who strive for a balance between protection, performance, fuel economy and cost. Select the right oil for your engine is one way to accomplish this.

It may seem that this is something simple. Generally it is, but we must take into account some considerations before choosing oil for your engine. Their driving habits, age and condition of your engine, and the time you plan to own the car before selling it.

Engine Condition. An engine that leaks from seals, gaskets, not a good candidate to use synthetic oils or high quality and cost. Putting your car an expensive oil will not solve the problem of leakage and better protect your engine. The lack of lubricant will inevitably affect the engine performance and the frequency of filling level can cause pollutants from entering the engine, accelerating wear and worsen the condition. In these circumstances, it is best to act proactively and directly attack the cause of failure – Change seals and gaskets in your engine. Read the rest of this entry »
