ALL ABOUT BRAKE BOOSTER !!

Brake Booster is a brake safety component that is placed at intermediate position between brake pedal and brake master cylinder and works as force multiplication component that uses engine vacuum to multiply the force applied by the driver on the brake pedal before further sending it to the master cylinder which in turn provide effective braking as well as driver’s comfort in applying brakes.

Why brake booster is required?

1.)The brake force applied by the driver on the brake pedal is not enough to provide enough braking force to stop or de-accelerate the vehicle, so there is a need of multiplying the force initially and this multiplication of force is done by brake booster to cause an effective braking.

2.)We need brake booster for smooth actuation of brakes.

3.)Brake booster is considered as the preventive braking measure taken to prevent driver and passengers as it decreases the chances of brake failure and also as it makes the braking more efficient and helps in case of panic braking.

4.)In case of high speed super and hyper car which goes over 250 miles per hour the use of brake booster becomes very essential as they requires high braking force to stop or de-accelerate the vehicle at such a high speed.

5.)In case of heavy vehicle as due to their heavy weight the brake force or frictional force required to stop or de-accelerate such vehicles is quite high, which can be fulfilled by the use of brake booster.

WHY BLACK DOTS ARE THERE AT THE SIDE OF CAR'S WINDSHIELD ?? MYSTERY SOLVED !!

Although most of us are aware with the purpose of objects like the headlight, courtesy light, and rear view mirror, yet, there still are many features of your automobile which may seem useless to you but do a great job. One such feature is the presence of black dots which stare at you, right in the face, from your windshield.

These black bands are called the FRIT, are baked in a ceramic paint. The car’s windshield is held in its place through sealant, which also keeps out the water during rainfall. However, the sealant can degrade on exposure to sun’s ultraviolet rays. Therefore, the frit protects it from excessive sunlight exposure. Besides that, the frit also helps in covering up the glue on the edge of the windshield, which would otherwise ruin the aesthetics of the car.

The black dots of varying gradient that rise from the frit make your car look aesthetically appealing as they form a nice contrast with the windshield.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU PUT JET FUEL IN YOUR CAR? HERE IS THE ANSWER !

Jet fuel more precisely known as “Jet-A”which can be understood as lead-free kerosene, much closer in structure to diesel fuel. Due to this characteristics,it can be used to fuel Turbine Engines as well as the Compression Engines. However, due to lack of lubrication properties, jet fuel will damage the engine.

  

The second factor that should be considered is that jet fuel has high heat content but car engines are not designed for it. Jet fuel does not vaporize very easily which creates problem in ignition in case of spark ignition engine.

It will be similar case of using diesel in a petrol engine. Some engines might endure this combination of fuels for some time, followed by misfires and eventually coming to a halt. Due to heavy nature of the Jet fuel, it will damage the fuel pump and the engine at large.

According to Manuel Martinez-Sanchez, an aeronautics and astronautics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the diesel engine might work using liquid Hydrogen. However, the temperature it requires is a staggering –432°F, hence the car engine would eventually freeze. Unfortunately, cars are not meant to go faster on Jet Fuel.

In conclusion, the car wouldn’t start in case of spark-ignition engines, wouldn’t run, and might catch fire. It might run for a small duration in case of diesel engines, but not without causing long-term damage.
