I have loved mechanical things since I was a kid. Engines in particular have always intrigued me. All my life I’ve pored over books, studying cutaway diagrams, hungry to understand how things worked. These pages are an attempt to share that magic.
Some of the animations are rather large, so you may need to allow a few extra seconds while each page loads. These pages use animated GIF files, so they require a fairly recent browser -- any but the oldest browsers will do. If the main illustration at the top of each page isn’t moving, you’ll need to update your browser for the full effect.
I hope you enjoy visiting my engine pages as much as I have enjoyed creating them"
I was trying to describe how a four stroke engine worked to my son the other day... A picture really can be worth a thousand words (and a number of badly drawn images on napkins ;)
There are a number of other engine animations, along with a How To, if you’re interested in doing something like this yourself.

1. Introduction Milling machine is one of the most versatile conventional machine tools with a wide range of metal cutting capability. Many complicated operations such as indexing, gang milling, and straddle milling etc. can be carried out on a milling machine. This training module is intended to give you a good appreciation on the type of milling machines and the various types of milling processes. Emphasis is placed on its industrial applications, operations, and the selection of appropriate cutting tools.
2. Types of Milling Machine Most of the milling machine are constructed of ¡¥column and knee¡¦ structure and they are classified into two main types namely Horizontal Milling Machine and Vertical Milling Machine. The name Horizontal or Vertical is given to the machine by virtue of its spindle axis. Horizontal machines can be further classified into Plain Horizontal and Universal Milling Machine. The main difference between the two is that the table of an Universal Milling Machine can be set at an angle for helical milling while the table of a Plain Horizontal Milling Machine is not. 2.1. Horizontal Milling Machine Figure 2 shows the main features of a Plain Horizontal Milling Machine. Their functions are :-
5.1. Spindle Speed Spindle speed in revolution per minute (R.P.M.) for the cutter can be calculated from the equation :-
5.2. Feed Rate Feed rate (F) is defined as the rate of travel of the workpiece in mm/min. But most tool suppliers recommend it as the movement per tooth of the cutter (f). Thus, F = f . u . N
C.S. and feed rate for some common material :-
5.3. Depth of Cut Depth of cut is directly related to the efficiency of the cutting process. The deeper the cut the faster will be the production rate. Yet, it still depends on the strength of the cutter and the material to be cut. For a certain type of cutter, a typical range of cut will be recommended by the supplier. Nevertheless, it should be noted that a finer cut is usually associated with a better surface finish as well as a long tool life.
6. Typical Milling Operations 6.1. Plain Milling Plain milling is the milling of a flat surface with the axis of the cutter parallel to the machining surface. It can be carried out either on a horizontal machine or a vertical machine as shown in figure 16. Figure 16. Plain Milling 6.2. End Milling End Milling is the milling of a flat surface with the axis of the cutter perpendicular to the machining surface as shown in figure 17. Figure 17. End Milling
7.2. Work Holding Method In the machining of a complex component, it is usually started off with the milling of a rectangular block. To ensure that each surface of the rectangular block is perpendicular to its neighbouring surfaces, the following points should be noted:-

Work Holding Method
In the machining of a complex component, it is usually started off with the milling of a rectangular block. To ensure that each surface of the rectangular block is perpendicular to its neighbouring surfaces, the following points should be noted:-
- The vice jaws and the workpiece must be free from burrs, chips, and cutting fluid.
- Smaller workpiece should be supported by parallel bars to provide the supporting datum.
- Round bar must be placed between the workpiece and the movable jaw to ensure that the workpiece is in perfect contact with the fix jaw.
- The vice handle should be tightened by hand to avoid over clamping of the workpiece as well as the vice. Hide face hammer should be used to assure that the workpiece is in perfect contact with the supporting base.
- On completion of the milling of the first face, the workpiece should be unloaded, deburred, and cleaned before the next operation.
- To machine the second and the third faces, the workpiece should be clamped with its preceding machined surface facing against the fix jaw of the vice.
- Similar clamping method can be applied in the machining of the fourth face.
- Yet it can also be clamped on the vice without the round bar.
- Both ends of the workpiece can be machined with the periphery flutes of the cutter using up cut milling as shown in figure 23.
Holding Method by Using a Machine Vice
End Surface Milling
Vice Alignment
Vice Alignment In the setting up of the vice onto the machine table, the fix jaw of the vice must be set parallel to the machine table using a Parallel Bar and a Dial Indicator as illustrated in figure 21. Adjustments can only be made by using a hide face hammer to correct its position such that a near zero indicator movement is achieved at all positions along the parallel bar.

Compressed Air Cars - France
An 'air car' sure sounds like an environmentally friendly mode of transportation. After all, air is pretty clean! But it takes energy to compress air, so the question becomes, how do compressed air cars stack up against electric vehicles and hydrogen cars?
One example of a compressed air car is the Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM) MDI Air Car. This car is a hybrid which operates on compressed air alone under 35 mph, and uses gasoline to compress more air above 35 mph. The company claims their air car is "the worlds cleanest car" with "half the CO2 per mile as a Toyota Prius" at speeds over 35 mph. However, both of these claims are based on just the gasoline emissions and ignore the emissions associated with compressing the air in the first place. A bit sketchy.
So how much energy and CO2 emissions are associated with compressing the air? Well, according to the car's specifications, it has a 5.5 kW charger which takes 4 hours to fully refill the tank. This means it requires roughly 22 kWh to replaced the compressed air. The company also claims the car has an 848 mile range on both a full tank of compressed air and 8 gallons of gasoline, and that the gasoline emits 0.141 lbs/mile of CO2 from just the gasoline.
Over those 848 miles, it's also responsible for the 22 kWh of energy required to replace the compressed air. So how much CO2 is associated with that energy? Well, of course it depends where you get it from. According to the EPA, the average CO2 emissions from power generation in the US are 1.363 lbs/kWh. So on average, you're creating 30 lbs of CO2 emissions over those 848 miles, or a further 0.035 lbs/mile for a total of 0.176 lbs/mile of CO2. This is roughly half the CO2 emissions associated with a Toyota Prius. If the compressed air is powered by a more environmentally friendly energy source, it will produce even lower emissions. For example, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) in California produces 0.52 lbs CO2 per kWh, which would bring the ZPM down to 0.155 lbs/mile of CO2.gas versorgerwechseln heidelberg

Gear Hobbing
However, Hobbing is only used to produce spur and worn gears. Internal gears or shoulder gear cannot be worked up in Hobbing process.
The hobbing process works like this. The hob is applied for generating the involute teeth. The hob is essentially a cylindrical tool which is positioned straight. In hobbing process the hob as well as the workpiece rotate continuously displaying a rotational relationship. A thread having the similar cross section as that of rack tooth is helically wound around the Hob. The Hob is then subsequently rotated. The gear blank is fed onto the hob based on the depth of cut. The helix pattern of a rotating hob is identical to that of a moving rack. Gear hobbing is an efficient process however it comes with complicated process kinematics, and some how difficult tool wear mechanisms.

Down Cut Milling
In down cut milling, the cutter rotates in the same direction as the table feed as illustrated in figure 15. This method is also known as Climb Milling and can only be used on machines equipped with a backlash eliminator or on a CNC milling machine. This method, when properly treated, will require less power in feeding the table and give a better surface finish on the workpiece.

Direction of Cutter Rotation
a. Up Cut Milling
In up cut milling, the cutter rotates in a direction opposite to the table feed as illustrated in figure 14. It is conventionally used in most milling operations because the backlash between the leadscrew and the nut of the machine table can be eliminated.

Standard centrifugal pumps have no self-priming capability and are incapable of pumping when water flow is discontinued in the suction pipe. The oval shaped self-priming pump has weak self-priming force at locations where back pressure is present, and the higher the pump head, the harder to self-prime the water. The YOKOTA Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump has the same pumping capability for high head pumping as other centrifugal pumps, however its self-priming force is extremely strong at 60-90kPa (6-9m water column), which enables the pump to be used even under extreme conditions.
