Eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-100 kamuva, ukuvela kwenjini yomlilo yangaphakathi kuyaqhubeka. Lobu buchwepheshe obunyakazisa umhlaba busaqhubeka busimangalisa, nakuba bufunwa kakhulu kubo. Ukusebenza kahle okwengeziwe, ukusetshenziswa okuphansi nokusebenza okwengeziwe.
Ukucaciswa okuyinkimbinkimbi okuphoqe onjiniyela, angiqondile ukwenza "ama-omelets ngaphandle kwamaqanda", kodwa ukukhama amaqanda kuze kube seconsi lokugcina. Manje kwase kuyithuba likaJim Clarke, omunye wabaphathi bakwaFord - obhekele ukuthuthukiswa kwenjini yomkhiqizi waseMelika i-V8 ne-V6 Duratec - ukwethula isisombululo, ngokubambisana noDick Fotsch, omunye unjiniyela onezikweletu eziqinile emkhakheni wezimoto.
Yiziphi izindaba ezinkulu?
I-turbo eyodwa yesilinda ngasinye. Lesi sixazululo, esisesigabeni se-prototype, sisebenzisa ama-turbo afakwe ngokushesha ekuphumeni kwenjini ukuze asebenzise ngokugcwele amandla avela ekugelezeni kwegesi ekhipha umoya. UJim Clarke uveza izinzuzo ezimbalwa zalesi sixazululo. Ekhuluma ne-Car and Driver, uvikela ukuthi kungenzeka ukukhansela i-turbo-lag, hhayi nje ngenxa yokuba seduze kwe-turbos ekamelweni elivuthayo kodwa futhi ngenxa yobukhulu obuncane balezi zingxenye.Lapho i-turbo isondela enjinini, kusetshenziswa amandla amaningi.
Ngenxa yokuthi ama-turbos mancane (amancane ngo-20% uma eqhathaniswa nenjini efanayo ene-turbo eyodwa) inertia yawo nayo iphansi, ngakho ukulethwa kwamandla engeziwe kwenzeka ngokushesha. Enye inzuzo yalokhu kusetha ukuthi ama-turbos, naphezu kokuthi mancane ngo-20% kuphela, adinga ukugeleza kwe-exhaust okungaphansi ngo-50% ukuze asebenze.
Umphumela ongokoqobo uyakhuthaza. Amandla engeziwe, ukusebenza kahle okungcono kanye nokusetshenziswa okuphansi. Inakho konke okuzohamba kahle, akunjalo? Mhlawumbe hhayi...
Inkinga yalesi sixazululo
Inkimbinkimbi nezindleko. UJim Clarke kungenzeka ukuthi uthole indlela ephumelela kakhudlwana yokusebenzisa "amaqanda" e-"omelet" yethu yokucabanga, kodwa isisombululo sakhe singabiza kakhulu futhi siyinkimbinkimbi.
Esikhundleni se-turbo, manje sesinama-turbos amathathu noma amane (ngokuya ngenani lamasilinda), angakhuphula izindleko zokukhiqiza zibe amanani avimbelayo. Okwamanje, izixazululo ezivezwa iningi lemikhiqizo yezimoto zibonakala zisebenza kangcono, okungukuthi ukufakwa kukagesi okuyingxenye kwezinjini ezivuthayo, kusetshenziswa amamotho kagesi namasistimu angama-48V semi-hybrid. Ungathola ezinye zalezi zixazululo zichazwe ngokuningiliziwe lapha.
