How Cars Work – The Basics
Let me know what grabs your interest—or toss out something specific you’re curious about.et’s break down the main systems in a typical car:
1. Engine (Combustion or Electric)
-
Gasoline/Diesel Engine: Converts fuel + air into power through controlled explosions.
-
Electric Motor: Uses electricity stored in batteries to power the wheels.
2. Transmission
-
Transfers power from the engine to the wheels.
-
Manual vs automatic vs CVT (continuously variable transmission).
3. Drivetrain
-
FWD (Front-Wheel Drive): Power to the front wheels.
-
RWD (Rear-Wheel Drive): Power to the back wheels.
-
AWD/4WD: Power to all four wheels for better traction.
4. Braking System
-
Disc brakes, drum brakes, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System).
-
Regenerative braking in EVs.
5. Suspension
-
Controls ride comfort and handling.
-
Includes springs, shock absorbers, struts.
6. Steering
-
Rack-and-pinion or electric power steering (EPS).
7. Electrical System
-
Battery, alternator, fuses, lights, sensors, infotainment.
8. Fuel System (or Charging for EVs)
-
Pumps fuel or electricity to the engine/motor
