Educational Horsepower: Engine Design and Construction in the Classroom

摘要

There is something about an engine that attracts attention. Perhaps it is the rumbling noise of the Harley Davidson 1200 twin, the power of a supercharged V-8 under the hood of a muscle car, or the synchronized roar of a couple of Cat 3208s in a race boat. Maybe it is the mechanical beauty of the cam, crank, pistons, and valves, all moving in unison, or perhaps it's the intoxicating smell of fuel, oil, and exhaust. Whatever "it" is, engines have fascinated "gear-heads" for centuries.
