How cars work

Thinking that there may be some of you for who the cars still have some secrets, I thought some short movies might brighten things up a little bit. And for those who know how stuff works, it’s a good occasion to revise the knowledge. ‘Cause practice makes perfect.

First movie is about how a differential works. It’s the best tutorial you can find and the explanations are very simple, consice and easy to follow. Basically, a differential helps the wheels roll at different speeds. Why is that a must and how can it be done? Just watch the movie!

How a differencial works.

Second video is a fascinating view inside an engine. How it is assembled and how it works, seen from all the angles. I’ll take my time and say a few words about the video and the components, which some may find simple “pieces of metal that are joined, propell my car and feast on my fuel.” (more…)

From Mother Russia: Snow Foot Car

Living in Russia means, among having a vodka-drowned liver and wearing fluffly busbies, long cold winters with heavy snows. And if your lucky enough to live surrounded by vaste wasteland, you should consider  building yourself a way out of there!

If you lack imagination, have a look at the video below. I guarantee there’s nothing better than this!


If the vodka makes you sight fuzzy, here are some hints of how to have your own Siberian husky to pull you out of that deserted white land: First of all, you need a rear wheel drive car, then, a car trailer with balloon tires at the rear and a snow ski at the front. Lash the rear end to a support and take off the rear wheels and replace the rim with an offset chain sprocket. Run a chain around sprocket and to the rear wheel gears then lash strap the front wheels into a cradle that’s hooked up to the ski’s steering system. And …voila! Just drive it alcohol-free!

Math for perfect parking

You remember the particular driving lessons when you had to exercise you parallel parking. It seemed easy, cause the teacher was beside you…or at least his feet were there for support. And it didn’t matter if you didn’t do it perfectly parallel, if you scratched the car a bit or if it took you 10-20 moves to finally get the car in a sort-of-parking position. But what happens when you get you own car and you can’t afford getting it scrathed or parking it 2 feet away from the sidewalk? (more…)

Final frontier: Lotus Omnivore

No, “Omnivore” is not just a simple name for the Lotus engine. It’s a revolutionary concept that will take internal combustion propelling devices to another level. Ya’ll know what an omnivore is…an animal that eats both meat and vegetables. It’s the case of this hungry, two-stroke, direct-injected prototype. It has variable valve timing, doesn’t need a spark plug, and has a variable compression ratio that maxes out at an incredible 40:1. But the most important characteristic is that…it can run on virtually any liquid fuel! Thanks to a free-floating “puck” that slides up and down at the top of the combustion chamber to vary compression ratio based on engine load and type of fuel, it is 10 times more efficient than a gasoline engine. It also has a Trapping Valve on the exhaust side that varies duration.

Suicide to Sell A5?

We all know that advertising, PR, commercials, marketing and linked-to features make almost 70% of the product you sell. The catchier the commercial, the bigger the figures in sell reports. Some people have such a developed imagination that hey could sell matches and make you believe they are Havanese cigars.

We’ve seen ALL sorts of commercials, some funny, some boring, some interesting, some…stupid, and we’ve come to wonder how far can PR departments go with the commercials in order to raise you an eyebrow and check the product.

Well…they can even use (more…)
