INNOVATION AT “INNOVENT”

Hi people, here we are having the Innovent workshop being organized by IE-EnC Manipal.We are being taught to make Seven Segmented Display Systems, for eg. in the engineering calculators that all of us use. After two theory classes, we had the practical session today in which we did the preliminary connections of the desired circuit.It was really a wonderful experience working with resistors,capacitors and transistors which till now, were things confined to books for us. Hope the next session would be really interesting as we will have to complete the circuit in a given time frame of approx 3 hours.

Manual Transmission

It’s the speed and power changing part of the car that is installed at some point between the engine and the driving wheels of the car. The transmission changes the ratio between the engine revolutions per minutes. And they need to withstand each other particular driving situation. If there weren’t a transmission inside of the car it would be very slow and noisy. It could also put straining on the engine parts. To be able to get a smooth start and have the power that you would want to look good in front of friends or anyone u should use a car with a manual transmission. There gears that’s inside the transmission that fulfill these requirements.

The car needs torque; torque is the turning or the twisting effort. The gasoline engine does not attain the full potential of the full power that it should be giving. The gear inside of the transmission gives the engine power to the drive shaft driver to select which gear to go into. A manual transmission shouldn’t be confused with an automatic transmission it switches the gears a on its own while with the manual you have a stick column to change the on its own. Also an automatic uses a hydraulic pressure and sensing devices
