I know the score, you have to be patient with Cameron and he will get around to it, just give him time! he does read these posts and will eventually be embarrased into doing the section! Not so Cameron?

really think so but I guess I could add it to test it out for a while.

Give me a few ideas for a name and I'll put it up,

How Turbochargers work:

Turbochargers are a type of forced induction system. They compress the air flowing into the engine (see How Car Engines Work for a description of airflow in a normal engine). The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine squeeze more air into a cylinder, and more air means that more fuel can be added. Therefore, you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder. A turbocharged engine produces more power overall than the same engine without the charging. This can significantly improve the power-to-weight ratio for the engine (see How Horsepower Works for details).
In order to achieve this boost, the turbocharger uses the exhaust flow from the engine to spin a turbine, which in turn spins an air pump. The turbine in the turbocharger spins at speeds of up to 150,000 rotations per minute (rpm) -- that's about 30 times faster than most car engines can go. And since it is hooked up to the exhaust, the temperatures in the turbine are also very high.

Yeah, okay. Sorry been busy and forgot. The car section is now active.

I am going to be needing moderators for this new section, please PM me by tomorrow if you are interested. We will then do a vote and the top three can look after the section (if I like them that is

).

OK guys, lets lock this thread now for no other reason than to get all the car posts into Skidmarks in the Chillout section! As soon as Skidmarks shows on the move mod thread we can move it over!

Sometimes Old Age creeps up on me without noticing, I forget which, er what was I on about again? Oh yes, the car section is already under Skidmarks, Only1, YOda, I need some force here!

Oh YOda , you are so right, it has been moved, see my edit above, I forget what I wanted to say, Oh yes, no locking!

Now when will I have a dedicated place to post the F1 news

lancelot · Post by **lancelot** » 31 May 2004, 08:47

Ruad, just start a new thread/topic in the Skidmark forum, call it F1 or whatever you want and everyone can post F1 stuff in there?
