What Is A Diesel Death Zone And Are You At Risk?
Diesel engines have been a long running staple in a number of vehicles (read: trucks) for a very long time. It's still the better engine choice over gasoline when it comes to hauling power, which is why it's still so prolific in shipping and distribution. Diesel engines also tend to last longer than regular gas engines, and are generally more efficient.
Henry Ford Only Raced Once – And He Beat One Of The World's Best
Long before Ford took on Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 1960s, it was clear to Henry Ford (the 1st) that racing was a crucial aspect to selling cars, even at a time when most people didn't own them. We now historically associate Ford with mass production and accessibility, but back in the early 1900s, most Americans saw cars as a luxurious, unapproachable dream, sort of the way we might view private jets now. Cars were generally fast little novelties you watched in races, and not something you ever imagined owning.

5 Reported Problems With Harbor Freight's Predator 3500 Generator
As a tool you generally break out in the event of an emergency situation, a generator is expected to have a certain degree of reliability. Otherwise, what would be the point of something that's supposed to generate power if it's not doing its job properly?

What's The Smallest Diesel Engine You Can Buy & Which Brands Currently Make Them?
When thinking about diesel engines, it's easy to associate them with heavy-duty applications. Diesel engines are more durable than gasoline ones, often delivering higher torque while being made of stronger components. Despite this, you can find smaller diesel engines for a range of applications, including industrial pumps, marine vessels, tractors, and generators. But what type of diesel engine is the smallest, and what brands can you pick one up from?
Jet Aircraft Carriers Would Be Impossible Without These Genius Inventions
Famed 18th-century satirist Jonathan Swift was famously quoted as stating, "He was a bold man who first ate an oyster." The same should probably be said about the first pilot who first flew a jet plane off the deck of an aircraft carrier. Even more so for those who brought a jet in for landing, though "bold" may not quite cover the level of daring involved with landing an aircraft full of jet fuel on a moving target in the middle of the ocean. While the first pilots to fly off a boat did so in propeller-driven planes, the rise of jet-powered aircraft made flying to and from a carrier all the more perilous.
2024 Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered Review: Electrified Wagon Asks A Hard Question
