The SVT Raptor came out in late 2009 as a full on off-roader, with sales being much higher than expected. It has a 5.4 Liter engine, with a 6.2 Liter option. The 5.4 Liter engine has 311 horsepower and 366 ft lb of torque. The 6.2 Liter engine has 412 horsepower and 435 ft lb of torque. The M.S.R.P was $3100 above the 5.4 Liter model. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard. It comes with Fox Racing Shocks, which allows for 11.5" of suspension travel in front, and 12" in the rear. It…

The Best Impact Drivers The usefulness of an impact driver cannot be overstated. Trying to undue an over-torqued bolt or nut by hand would just be completely frustrating without an impact driver. You will want an impact driver that is powerful, has all the features you want, has the speed you want, is durable, and reliable. It is not always easy to find an impact driver that fulfills all these criteria. So, to help you out, I have compiled a list of some of the best selling impact drivers out on…

What is a Mousetrap Car: “A small vehicle having its only source of motive power to be a mousetrap” (Mousetrap Car, Wikipedia) An example of a mousetrap car How a Mousetrap Car Works: Diagram of a Generic Mousetrap Car A mousetrap car doesn’t need batteries or fuel. It is powered by simply setting the trap and letting it loose. The wound spring has a ton of potential energy stored in it. The power from the spring propels the car. A rod, or lever, (typically used to snap the neck of…

engines. The Fusion delivers snappy handling and when equipped with the available all-wheel drive, an extra measure of control on slippery roads. The standard engine is a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder, generating 175 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. This engine is found in front-wheel drive models only and comes with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. This model makes an EPA-estimated 23/33 mpg…

It has been set up that the pneumatic influence wrench is going to offer much more torque. What does that really imply? It mean that's the influence wrench air powered motor is heading to offer more power with every impact. While this can be very important, the average do-it-yourselfer is not heading to require super driven torque for the odd work that they will be completing. In exchange for the higher torque of the pneumatic influence wrench, the electric design is not going to need the use of…

This engine makes 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. All 4x2 models make an EPA-estimated 22/30 mpg city/highway; 4x4 models make 21/28 mpg city/highway.

This engine makes 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. The fuel economy estimates are 14/22 mpg city/highway for 4x2 models and 14/20 mpg city/highway…

Both diesel engines and gasoline engines are internal combustion engines, which means they are designed to make mechanical energy by converting chemical energy available in fuel. Rotary motion is required to turn the wheels of a car forward. So to make this rotary motion, pistons connected to a crankshaft move in an up and down motion to create the rotary motion. Through a series of small combustions or explosions, diesel engines and gasoline engines convert fuel into energy. Diesel and…

spin a turbine. The turbine, that spins, shoves extra air into the engine, this produces the boost. Typically, these motors will run ten to twenty-five pounds of boost. If done right, turbos can increase engine efficiency, horsepower, and create more torque for the…

there are a lot of safety measures put in to place and a group must demonstrate safer skills before being allowed to try a basket toss. Cheerleading is full of physics that allow for stunts to be performed. The basket toss involves Newton’s 3rd Law, torque, angular momentum, and…
