Make it a habit to check the temperature gauge every 5-10 miles. The temperature gauge can tell you a lot about the car`s health. The needle moving from its usual position in traffic only slightly, for example, is an indicator of a failing thermostat. If you cannot look at the temperature needle then pay attention to the acceleration. A car that is harder to

accelerate or pickup speed could be an indication of an overheating motor. Overheating is one of the most common problem for the summer traveler. A good trip begins with a positive thought of confidence and a vision of action to take when overheating occurs. Carry with you at least 1 gallon of water (preferably 1 gallon plain water and 1 gallon of premix coolant. ) 1. ) The water pump belt is inspected for oil soak or for cracks. 2. ) The water pump is not making any noise. 3. ) The upper radiator hose is inspected for wear or weaknesses. 4. ) The upper plastic part of the radiator is checked for cracks - a cracked radiator leaves white water marks, but won`t show signs of the crack or the liquid. 5. ) Hoses are checked for pinhole leaks - indicated by white calcium-like marks on or near the leaking hose. An efficient cooling system requires coolant, a heat exchanger, a fan, a water pump, and a thermostat to regulate the operating temperature of the engine for performance, fuel economy and emissions. Since Honda uses a fragile aluminum head, the longevity of the car is dependant on how many overheating the car has undergone. Strictly speaking, the cooling system is second to the oil circulatory system in terms of importance. An overheating engine should be taken seriously. If not, then your cylinder compression readings could be out of specifications permanently, unless the motor is completely overhauled. The benefits of a...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
