anong ibig sabhin ng v8 at v12

[nicolodeon]

Merong Passat na W8 yung engine tsaka A8 na may W12 engine. Yung Bugatti Veyron, W16 ang gamit.

Honga ano. "Three bank" engine nga pala ang gamit nung mga yan. Nagiging makakalimutin na ako, kulang sa vitamins. he he he.

As for BHP and HP, AFAIK theres no real differenc between the two since both just mean horsepower. Most Europeans (especially the Brits) use BHP while US and Asian countries mostly use HP. Different terminology, same meaning. The "B" in BHP means brake. AFAIK, "brake" refers to a dyno. Back in the old days, engine torque or power was measured by applying brakes to the flywheel.

v8 - video 8

[ian_rex]

refers to the configuration of the cylinders. v8 or v12 means that it has 8 or 12 cylinder on a "v" format. meaning the connecting rod joining the crankshaft is in "V" shaped configuration as well as the cylinder block. this means, a more compact engine block compared to inline confiuration -thus, space saving (if you can call it that).

basically, a v6, v8 or v12 is derrived from a two: 3 cylinder , 2 4-cylinder or a 6 cylinder on each banks.

as for the w12 or w16, these configuration is derrived from 2 V6 or V8 engines joined at the crankshaft. more precisely, 2 V6 or V8's enjoined at the crankshaft.

sa porsche (boxster)naman nakahiga ang mga cylinders so horizontal ang movement nila parang nanununtok hence the name "Box"ster

Aside from the Boxster, the 911's and Subarus also use horizontally opposed engines (Boxer-engine).

The "Boxster" in Porsche Boxster was derived from "Boxer(engine)" + "Roadster".

horizontally opposed yata tawag dyan... kinopya ni Ferdinand porsche sa design nya ng makina ng original, world war ii vintage volkswagen.

to digress a bit... ano ba advantage pag mas marami valves? mas madami fuel intake? mas mataas compression ratio? or mas mabilis burnt fuel exhaust? baket di na lang nilakihan yung input and outlet valve openings? at pwede bang mag by-pass operation pag nagbara yung isang valve?

The first Porsche car(356) was developed by Ferdinand's son Ferry.
The first production Porsche, the 356 used tuned VW "Beetle" engine.
Horizontally opposed engines have low center of gravity and are usually balanced(opposed pistons cancel out each others vibration).
