Initially it aimed at protection of trees but later the campaign turned to be a wide movement for alternative development.

True History of Kelly Gang

Peter Carey, 2000 The New York based Australian writer Peter Carey's historical novel that got him the 2001 Booker is the story of the legendary Ned Kelly, Australia's most famous outlaw who was executed as a murderer and a horse thief in 1880. The story is revealed in the form of letters written in a distinctive vernacular to his baby daughter that he never sees. Born to very poor Irish immigrants, a conspiracy of circumstances makes him an outlaw who is a murderer in the eyes of the British police and an endearing national hero to most Australians. This exhilarating and panoramic work has the force of a classic 1 Western and keeps alive the aura surrounding the legend of Ned Kelly.

Bottoming

When a suspension system reaches the limit of its travel (in compression}, the vehicle is Said to have bottomed. When this occurs. the suspension usually hits the bump stopper and the load from the suspension is transferred to the chassis of the car with a bone-jarring crash. A common occurrence In rallies and. unfortunately. on our roads too

BOUNCE

Wholly vertical motion of car on its springs as it passes over bumps in the road. as distinct from pitch and roll

Bonus Load

The increase in a tyre’s lead capacity That becomes available as a result of running it at a maximum speed below that specified by its speed rating. Bonus load is sometimes exploited with caravan or trailer tyres in which case It is not safe to exploit the tyres full speed rating.

Boost Pressure

The pressure built up by the spinning turbine in a supercharger or turbocharger that helps push more air Into the engine. it. is calculated over and above atmospheric: pressure and measured in pounds per square inch (psi ) or bar and sometimes indicated on a boost pressure gauge.

bore

The inside diameter of a cylinder is its hare and is usually measured in millimeters. sometimes in inches.

Bottom Dead Centre

When a piston is at its lowest point of travel in the cylinder bore it is said to be at bottom dead centre. This position is used to describe some valve opening and closing events, which are specified as occurring so many crankshaft degrees before or after bottom dead centre {SBDC and ABDG respectively}.

Blower

Another name for a supercharger, an engine driven method of forced induction. Also used to describe the blower or fan unit of an air-conditioning unit.

Bmep

Brake Mean Elective Pressure is the mean pressure available in a cylinder throughout the firing stroke at a piston {from Tap Dead Centre to bottom Dead Centre}. it ranges from 125psi for an inefficient rotary engine to 250psi for a racing engine. By contrast. the peak combustion pressure Is more to the tune 0f 1600psi.

Body in white

Motor industry term for the structural core of a car body. Shorn of non• load• bearing parts such as exterior panels. boot lid. bonnet and doors.

Big End

The connecting rod links the piston to the crankshaft and transmits the Power derived from the combustion process in the cylinder. The big end is the large circular link at the bottom of the con rod that is attached to the crankshaft. The opposite end. attached to the piston pin. is the little or small end.

Bio-diesel

Alternative fuel in which diesel is partly replaced by processed vegetable oils. The bio-diesel fuels available in Europe generally contain only 5 per cent FAME [fatty acid methyl ester) derived from crops but many modem diesel engines are compatible with blends of up lo 30 per cent

Block

An abbreviation for cylinder block, it is the strong metal casing inside which lhs individual cylinders are placed.

Blow-By

Air-fuel mixture or the burned gases from the combustion chamber can leak past the piston rings due to wear. faulty fitting or excessive piston ring gaps. This blow- by often shows up as oil contamination or dilution of engine oil.

Bevel Gear

A bevel gear is used to transfer motion between two or more shafts that are at an angle to on e another. Bevel gears are usually found in differentials, where the shafts are perpendicular to each other.

Bhp

Actual horsepower, measured on a dynamometer which acts as a brake. as opposed to horsepower calculated from some arbitrary formula for taxation purposes. It is a unit of measurement devised in steam-engine days and based on the work capacity of a large dray horse - hence the abbreviations PS [Pferde-Starke or horse strength} in German and CV in French and Italian (Cheval-Vapeur. Cauallce Vapote). Always look for net or DIN figures as these give the output of the engine as installed in the car, rather than with items such as the cooling fan and alternator removed. The British {bhp} and metric (PS or CV} measures are similar but not identical, the latter being nearly 1.5 per cent smaller. but are often wrongly treated as interchangeable.

Bias-Belted Tyre

Obsolete form of lyre that combines the angled casing plies of 21 cross ply tyre with lhe circumferential tread ply car plies of a radial tyre.

Bell Housing

The line running around 21 cars body that is formed by the bottom edges of its glass panels and the bur-mat and trunk.

Belleville washer

Unlike conventional washers that are completely flat, Belleville washer has a slightly conical shape that gives It e sprung like characteristic when it is compressed. Belleville washers are commonly used as springs or in bolted joints that need to be given a flexible quality.

Beltline

The line running around at cans body that is tanned by the bottom edges of its glass panels and the bonnet and trunk.

Bendix drive

Invented and patented by Vincent Bendix in 1910. a bendix drive Is a gear that is connected to the starter motor and engages the engines flywheel at low revs and disengages. it when the revs increase.

baulk ring

The mechanical component of a synchromesh gearbox that prevents gears from Shifting prematurely thus giving the driver time t0 Select the desired gear.

Bead

Every tyre's sidewall ends in a thick cable called a bead. Along with the pressure of the air, this helps the tyre stay fast with lhe edge of the steel wheel or the rim. Because the bead does not stretch, the wheel rim has a cavity into which it can be worked. BELL HOUSING The bell-shaped cover between the engine proper and the transmission case. It covers the flywheel and clutch or. in the case of an automatic. the torque converter.

Bar

One bar is roughly the pressure experienced at see level. lt's the same as 14.5 pounds per square inch (psi} or 0.99 atmospheres and is 1he metric unit used to measure pressure. it is used to describe turbo boost or the pressure generated in a fuel injection system.

Bathtub Combustion Chamber

Also known as a hemispherical or 'hemi' combustion chamber. it has a dome shaped top or 'head' that made it more efficient than the preceding ‘flathead' design when Chrysler started producing it In 1951. Because of its dome shape. the hemi chambers valves were installed further apart than In a flathead chamber, which gave engineers more room to make them bigger. With the exception of some models from Chrysler. the hemi design Is not used except In drag and stuck ear racing.

Ball joint

A flexible ball-and-socket joint used primarily in front suspension units because it can accommodate a wide range of angular motion. The ball joint offers relatively free movement between components while holding them together.

Balancer Shafts

Generally employed in pairs. these are contra- rotating shafts, geared together and carrying opposed balance weights. They can be driven at engine speed to cancel out primary reciprocating imbalance, as in old Ford W engines and some three-cylinder units. More usually driven at twice engine speed to smooth out vibrations caused by secondary imbalance. as found in four-cylinder Mitsubishi engines.

Balance In Engines

The process of canceling out the forces created by imbalance in rotating components and by the reciprocation of pistons and conrods. imbalance creates internal stresses In engine structure and causes unwanted external vibrations that are fed into the body shell — bad for reliability as well as comfort. Rotational imbalances are easily corrected: but balances of reciprocating masses are much more difficult. Reciprocating imbalance can be categorized mainly as primary [oscillating at engine speed} and secondary (oscillating at twice engine speed}. The best approach is to balance the motion of one piston against that of another - thus straight-six, VS and V12 engines can have perfect primary and secondary balance. An ordinary In-line four is in primary balance only - hence the use of balancer shafts.

Baffled Sump

The oil pans or sumps of same competition engines have thin metal plates or baffles that reduce the amount the oil as sloshed around under hard comering and other heavy gravitational forces. This stops the engine being starved of oil when running at high rpm.

backfire

When a fresh unburned charge of fuel combusts in the exhaust system due to leakage from an open exhaust valve. It is known as backfire. It is sometimes heard on trailing throttle as a car slows down.

Backbone Chassis

A Structure. often in the form of a large-diameter tube, running down the centre of a car, with seats and suspension on each side. which takes all the major chassis leads of a car. Used for the Volkswagen Beetle and extensively by Lotus. it is a sensible arrangement fur an open spans car but It Is not the most effective route to maximum torsional stiffness. monocoque chassis are more widespread.

Back Pressure

When there is some form of resistance to the free flow at the exhaust from the cylinder head, the resultant condition is known as back pressure. This can be a result of a badly made exhaust system or due to lhe pour condition of either the catalytic converter or the mufflers.

AMT (Automated Manual Transmission)

An otherwise conventional manual gearbox in which clutch operation and gear selection are performed by actuators under electronic control. Gear changing can be fully automatic or controlled by the driver via either a stick mechanism or up /down paddles behind the steering wheel. In addition to offering faster gear changes an AMT has the advantage that it retains a manual gearbox's inherent high efficiency.

ampere

An ampere is the unit used to measure electrical current. The number of amperes is equal to the voltage in the electrical circuit divided by its resistance.

Alternator

alternative fuels

Any automotive fuel other than petroleum-derived diesel or petrol (gasoline) Examples include alcohol fuels (methanol and ethanol), compressed natural gas (CNG). liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Airflow Sensor

An electronic device that is used in controlling fuel- injected engines. Also called an air mass sensor. it measures the amount of air flowing into the engine at any given point in lime. it then relays the data to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit} so that the right amount of fuel can be injected. it uses either a flap placed in the airflow or an electrically heated wire to acquire the data.

Alcohol Fuels

Alcohol fuels are made from renewable sources like crops or other sources of grain alcohol. An example of an alcohol fuel is methanol, which is commonly derived from the methane found In natural gas.

Airbag

A safety system that involves inflatable bags mounted usually in front of and sometimes also beside the occupants of a car. In the event of a collision, the bags innate to cushion the impact of the driver and/or passengers hitting the interior of the oar, Airbags protect the occupants during a head-on collision, but much less in a roll- over. Airbags were once erroneously considered major safety measures on their own. but their real strength is that they offer protection in ways that a seatbelt cannot. That is why airbags are often described as supplementary restraint systems.

air-Cooled

Engines need in exchange heal sc that they do not overheat. while most popular cars use a water- based cooling agent in a layer around the engine. most two-wheelers in our country are cooled just by air rushing past the engine. Cooling fins are used to Increase the surface area so that the hem dissipates mere easily. The Volkswagen Beetle and Porsche 911. pre-1998. are famous examples of air cooled car engines.

Air Fuel Ratio

mA petrol engine needs 14 parts of air to bum one part of fuel {by weight) l0 form a rich mixture for maximum power. compared to the chemically correct or stoichiometric ratio Of 14 .7:1 maintained in three way catalyst engines. During DBFI-throttle running. ordinary engines will run on weak mixtures with air/fuel ratio In the 15-15:1 region. but lean-burn engines will run on still weaker mixtures with air/fuel ratios in the 18-20:1 range.

Air-Assisted Injection

Enhanced Term of petrol engine fuel injection in which pressurized air is blown across the injector outlet in such a way as to shear the fuel spray into smaller droplets. thereby enhancing the mixture's combustion performance.

Air suspension

Form of vehicle suspension in which the springing is provided not by metal springs (coil spring or torsion bar} but by a cy1inder of pressurized air. Air suspension has a number of potential advantages. not least that it provides for simple ride height control.

Aerodynamic Drag

Drag is lhe force exerted by air on any body moving through it. When a car is mobile, it displaces air and leaves a wake behind it. just like a boar cutting through water. Air, after all. is a fluid. Drag has a negative effect on performance as well as efficiency; therefore oar designers try to keep drag 10 a minimum. While a raindrop has the least amount of drag. the upright design of some of Lhe BEST commuter buses in India gives a drag coefficient of 1.30. Must modem cars have a coefficients of drag ranging between 0.4 and a low of 0.26. The power consumed in pushing a body through the air goes up with the cube of the speed · se above 60kph, the majority of the power needed to push a car along is absorted by aerodynamic drag

Air Dam

A spoiler fitted across the bottom of a cars nose to direct the air flow around the car rather than under it. Air flow beneath the car. or underflow. is highly turbulent and energy-consuming as well as causing lift.

Air Injection

An emission control system in which an air pump supplies fresh air to the exhaust to facilitate the conversion el carbon monoxide to less harmful carbon dioxide. Air injection also greatly helps in the combustion of partly burnt fuel often found in the exhaust.

Adaptive Lighting

An advanced forward lighting system in which additional elements and swiveling headlight assemblies are used to enhance and adjust the beam pattern during night driving. When the car is cornering, for example, the headlights are turned in the direction of the corner to illuminate the road better.

Active Suspension

When servo-driven hydraulic struts actively stabilize a cars attitude, guided by data inputs from sensors. the oar is said to have an active suspension system. The struts reduce to a minimum the roll, bump and pitch that destabilize a vehicles altitude. In a fully active suspension. the servo struts are connected directly to the hubs and therefore replace or supplement the suspension springs. Active suspension was pioneered by Formula l racing team Lotus more than two decades ago. but problems of power consumption. NVH (noise. vibrations. harshness} and cost have so tar prevented its widespread introduction into passenger cars

Adaptive cruise control

Automatic cruise control which uses a sensor lo measure the distance to the vehicle ahead and can. if necessary. reduce speed (by closing 1he throttle and applying check braking) lo maintain a preset minimum separation.

Axle

An axle is the shaft that carries the wheels of the car. An axle can either be 'Live', which means that it carries the wheels and transmits power to them. or it can be 'dead', which means it moves as the wheels move.

ASR Anti-Slip Regulation

ASR Anil-Slip Regulation limits dangerous wheel spin by calculating the difference between the road speed of me car and the speed at which e powered wheel is spinning. It often uses data from the same sensors that feed the AEIS system. and is an invaluable safety aid when driving on snow and lee.

Atomization

The process whereby liquid fuel is broken up into tiny droplets prior to combustion in an engine. Reduced droplet size makes the air: fuel mixture behave more as if it were a homogenous mixture. which is why extreme injection pressures (in excess of 1500 bar} are used in modem common rail diesel engines. Evaporation of the atomized fuel also cools the inlet charge and is an important part of the thermal management of petrol engines operating at high load.

Armco

Metal guardrails that line roads or racing circuits. designed to stop cars leaving the mad in an accident and encountering trees or other hazards.

Aspect Ratio

The ratio of the height of a tyre to the width of its contact surface. Far older tyres this is around 80 per cent. but fur the latest high- performance. low-profile tyres it can be less than 35 per cent. The term aspect ratio is also used in relation to aerodynamic features such as wings or spoilers.

Antifreeze

Antifreeze is a chemical mixture added to the cooling system of the car that amps the water from freezing when the car is exposed to below its freezing point.

Aquaplaning

Tyres at high speed Lend to skip or float over water rather than penetrating the water and staying in contact with the road surface. As a result. all traction is lost and the car will continue in the direction it has been traveling prior to the loss of grip, Tyres are grooved to provide a channel for the water to escape through · which is why e bald tyre is so treacherous in wet conditions. Also. wider tyres are more likely to aquaplane.

Anti-squat

Suspension geometry that resists nose up pitching of the cars body during acceleration.

Anti-dive

Suspension geometry That resists nose-down pitching of the car’s body during braking.

Anti-Roll bar

A bar that is used to reduce body roll. It consists of a torsion bar spring that runs transversely across the oar, linking both sides 01 a suspension system. When one wheel rises and the other falls · effectively what happens during roll - the bar gets fully wound, thus limiting roll. However, there is little or no effect on the suspension if both wheels take a bump equally. 'when one wheel moves independently of the other, the bar is forced to twist. adding to the Tension of the springs.

Ackermann Steering

A system of steering geometry that lets the outside wheel turn through fewer degrees than the inside wheel to reduce side slap and Tyre scrub. This Is achieved by setting the steering arms so that lines passing through them would intersect on the centre of the rear axle. The system becomes less effective as the cars speed increases.

Active Safety

A car that has been designed to reduce the chances of an accident happening in the First place · through superior road holding. handling. visibility, ergonomics and comfort - is a vehicle with a high level of active safety. So ABS brakes are an active safely feature, while seat-belts. airbags and crumple zones are all passive safety features that came Into play the instant an accident occurs.

ABS Anti-Lock Braking System

Sometimes when you brake very hard in relation to the slipperiness of the road surface. the wheels stop rotating but the vehicle keeps moving forward. This state, where ll1e vehicle can no longer be steered. is referred to as wheel lock-up. The ABS system uses wheel speed sensors and a brake pressure regulator to prevent wheel lockup during sudden slope. The in-built computer senses look-up when one wheel is slowing faster than the actual deceleration of the car. it reduces brake pressure l0 the wheel by first releasing pressure and then re-applying pressure in rapid sequence. This allows the wheel to regain traction, preventing the vehicle from skidding.

angstrom unit

a unit of length equal to one hundred-millionth of a centimetre.it has now been replaced by nanometer.

A/B/C -PILLAR

A car's pillars support its roof and are best identified when seen side·0n. The A-pillar is the beam in front of the front door. on either side of the windshield. The front door latches onto the B-pillar. and the rear door is hinged on it. The C-pillar is behind the rear door. Station wagons and MPVS often have a D-pillar too.

the raman effect

nobel lureate C.V.Raman was struck by the deep blue color of the mediteranean sea during his trip back from oxford in 1921.using the nicol prism ,raman examined the color of the osean after eliminating the reflection of the sky's light.he wrote the colour of the sea was " a much richer blue than that of the sky " .his subsequent experiments cumilated in raman announsing his discovery of the effects as the raman effect on february 28,1928.
