Which metals does the inductive sensor detect?
All metals.
200
How does a diesel engine work?
This engine uses compression rather than a spark to ignite the fuel mixture.
300
What's the voltage supply around Europe (range)?
220-240V.
300
What's the ideal gas equation/law?
PV=mRT
300
What law represents this equation?
E= Q - W
1st law of thermodynamics.
300
Which is the most common color used in optical sensors?
Red color.
300
What's the purpose of a crankshaft?
This part rotates in the lower part of the engine block and is connected to the pistons by the connecting rods.
400
Name all basic codes a computer uses.
Binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal code.
400
How can you control a 3/2 distributor?
Mechanically, electrically, pneumatically, and manually.
400
Explain the difference between kinetic and potential energy.
In the example of a golf ball:
When you hit a golf ball, it moves up to a certain length and goes to a rest point. Here hitting the golf ball provides kinetic energy, and when it returns to the rest point, it experiences potential energy.
400
What's the name of this sensor?
Reed sensor.
400
What's the purpose of a fuel rail?
Its purpose is to distribute fuel into injectors equally.
500
What is the material of the future?
Titanium.
500
Does this pneumatic assembly work and why?
It does not work, because there is no air going to a 5/2 distributor so the cylinder will not move. All other components are there to confuse you.
500
Which type of electromagnetic wave has the longest wavelength?
Radio waves.
500
The first mouse ever invented used what as a sensor that detected movement?
Rolling ball.
500
How does a supercharger work?
Superchargers increase intake by compressing air above atmospheric pressure without creating a vacuum.
