2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco (2011 New York Auto Show)

 
Chevrolet celebrated Earth Day at the 2011 New York Auto Show by introducing the all-new 2013 Chevrolet Malibu ECO, the most fuel-efficient midsize sedan in its 100-year history. It features eAssist™ "light electrification" technology, which is engineered to deliver an estimated 26 mpg in city driving and 38 mpg on the highway without compromising performance. ECO is based on the all-new, 2013 Malibu sedan, which will be sold in nearly 100 countries on six continents. Sales of the new Malibu begin with the ECO model in the United States in early 2012. The Malibu LS, LT and LTZ trim level offerings join the ECO in summer 2012. Pricing will be announced later. "The Chevrolet Malibu ECO is a smart choice for customers who want excellent fuel economy without the price premium of popular hybrid sedans," said Rick Scheidt, vice president of Chevrolet marketing. "The Malibu ECO's 38-mpg highway estimate is comparable with those hybrids." Malibu's eAssist system uses a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery and an electric motor-generator to enable regenerative braking electric assist and start-stop functionality. It is efficiently sized, weighing only 65 pounds (29 kg). Chevrolet Malibu ECO also features an aerodynamic exterior - including underbody aero enhancements - and electronically controlled shutters in the lower grille that close at higher speeds to push more air over and around the vehicle. These enhancements increase aerodynamic efficiency to boost fuel economy. An ECO ...

Boeing 777 GE90 Engine Start

 
Starting both engines on a Boeing 777-200 fitted with General Electric GE90-85B engines. Quick Explanation The engines are started using compressed air. At the engine there is a Turbine Starter. That's in basic terms a fan on a shaft. The air blows the starter fan around which, through a gearbox and shafts, makes the engine blades turn. When the starter has sped up the engine to a certain point, fuel is added and ignited and the engine starts. More in depth explanation Where does the air come from? The compressed air comes from the Auxillary Power Unit, aka the APU. The APU is a small gas turbine engine that is located in the tail of the aircraft. Instead of producing thrust, the APU drives an Electrical Generator and an air compressor called a Load Compressor. The compressed air travels along a tube, or duct, to both engines and the air conditioning packs. The APU is quite small and is started using an electric motor powered by it's own battery. The generator on the APU is suffecient to supply all the main aircraft systems with electrical power. The compressed air can be also used to operate the air conditioning packs. How does the starter work? At the engines there is the Turbine Starter. It is essentially a turbine on a shaft. The compressed air passing over the turbine makes it turn. It is connected to the Engine Accessory Gearbox. The starter has it's own reduction gearbox, meaning that the starter turbine spins many times faster than the starter output shaft, which ...
