Marvin's Ideas

Internet is a learning haven for everyone who wants to earn knowledge about certain concerns. Just like me, I want to learn about car engines, the parts of it, and the state of operation it takes to produce work. It was very awesome to know how this things work since engines do a lot of contributions in the current development especially with the transportation. As of now I still watching several videos to boost up my understanding about this topic but I hope sooner or later I could better expound some details about engines.

I love the convenience brought by the latest Firefox browser that I have. Well, I do visit the same site daily and because of that I want it to be organized. I am a bit meticulous when it comes to orderliness of my personal stuffs at home might as well with my computer activities. So I explored the corners of my latest browser and …whew! I was so satisfied of the features and the capabilities of this browser. Now, with the help of folders, through folders I can segregate everything to its corresponding category. By the way, I am talking about bookmarks of the websites that I usually visit daily. I’ve been finding solutions for this and now I got it. It was really helpful for people like me who does a lot of things online and wants to bring all stuffs to a better order.

Today I will attempt to share a little bit of my understanding about what I learned online. During the past few days I was so interested to learn about engines. Specifically, I am talking about automotive engine since I always wonder of what makes it move and how come it could make an automobile move. Well, after several videos that I saw online, I came up to a point that I understand the cycle of the engine’s system.
So according to what I have seen on the videos, the main operation of an engine is to consume gasoline and produce another type of energy which is the mechanical energy. For short, it converts the chemical energy into mechanical energy to produce work and this process is called internal combustion system. One thing that amazed me of this is that air and gasoline are being mixed up before it is finally combusted or burned. The air is also filtered and regulated to get rid of some particles that are present on it so as to not to damage the engine’s internal parts. The mixing is done inside the carburetor. The amount of air and gasoline to be combusted is controlled and properly vaporized then after this the mixture does down to the combustion chamber.
So, you might also want to say something about this and if you have corrections, I am willing to understand and learn from what you can share with these matters. This is just a quite short discussion of how I learned something from the internet and I will be spending more time for this soon.

Yesterdays post was all about how gasoline and air is being prepared for the combustion stage. Now maybe it’s time to tackle the main mechanism wherein combustion happens. So, let me start by recapitulating the things about the carburetor. So in this particular device a chemical process takes place when air and fuel is being mixed to produce a specific blend for the combustion. It also controls the amount of mixture to be supplied to the intake.

Now let’s go down deeper. Engines are equipped with several parts or should I say networks which work on a specific task. Just like the carburetor which works together with the other parts such as the fuel tank and the air filter which then forms the fuel system. There is also an electrical system which plays a very important role in the combustion stage. It is composed of several major parts such as the ignition coil which works in the production of high voltage energy which will be sent to the spark plug via cable contact which is then called as spark plug wire. So there will be an induced energy supplied to the positive side of the spark plug which will then be passed down to the bottom of it wherein there a positive and ground point is almost in contact with each other. In this part the high voltage energy from the positive point in the bottom of the spark plug will tend to burst and reach the ground side. Due to that there will be a collision of electrical energy which will then result to a spark which will capture and burn the compressed mixture of fuel and air in the combustion chamber.

This might be very confusing in your part if you have no exposure on the terms that I have said earlier. Though I said it earlier that I would tackle about the main mechanisms of combustion system, I realized it that I need to be specific and expound more to be clear enough. So, now I would like to say that in the coming days you would expect me to share my learning more on the specific systems or networks in the engine. In the end of this topic I will put up everything as one and I hope I could hear some reactions or a sort of correction because I am not an expert on this and I am still learning some basics. Have a nice day!

Last night my father saw me in front of the computer while very serious on watching educational videos. He noticed that I am so much close to the monitor and then he said “Wow! Isn’t it interesting?” With that, I turned back at him looking so much exhausted of what I am doing. He asked me to sleep because it seems that I am so tired because it was already 2:00 am and I was still hanging on my PC. But I never cared to take some rest because I felt the need of something to learn. So instead of going down to my bed, I asked my father some questions about what I was watching and it was still about the engine.
Actually he was the one who asked me first about what was the video all about. And so I told him that it was an educational video about automotive engine. My father was not convinced since he knows a lot of this because he was once a driver and was able to explore the engine of different cars and trucks. So he said “That is not an engine of a car for sure. It might be a motorcycle engine or the other ones”. I felt very curious of why he says that and in fact he wasn’t able to see the video from the start. He explained it to me that there are actually two kinds of internal combustions engines that he knows to be used in most vehicles.
He said that the first one is called gasoline engines which are widely used in motorcycles. Then, the second one it called diesel engine that are used in cars and trucks. According to him these two differs a lot from each other because each has a unique means of combustion system. Father said that in a gasoline engine combustion system, the process of burning the fuel relies on the spark produces by the spark plug. While in the other hand, a diesel engine combustion system, only the heat is need to enable the combustion process. He added that if in a gasoline engine system, the combustion depends on the continuous instantaneous sparks from the spark plug, in the diesel engine system the glow plug primes the system for a starting heat and after that there will be an instant heat building up in the chamber for the combustion process.
Well that’s quite very enriching and very well explained. Though my father isn’t a graduate of an automotive course but I know that he has a lot of experience on this. He told me that to never lose this passion to learn more because maybe in the next following days I will be able to take a vocational course to really dig deeper on this aspects. Well, I hope so and I really wanted to learn the essentials for this tough jobs and I am looking forward to work on the industry related to this.

I was a member of a very well known online job search community. I signed-up last year with a vision to land a good paying job. I was a fresh graduate and trying to engage in the technical world since I am a product of a technical school. I received so many job update from them including those that are out of the country of shall I say abroad. Sadly, I was out of dedication and focus to work those days because I was afraid to face someone for an interview. Sounds crazy right? I don’t know why is that I am feeling fears on such things. I was a student trainee that time and my co-trainees were trying to push me to grab the opportunity. Most of the time I argue with them and I even disappoint them until it reached to a point that none of them was convincing me anymore. It was fine that time because I have still some earning from our allowances and I wasn’t thinking of today. Now, everything seems to be out of my reach. The job opportunities, my friends, and many other things had done away. Currently I am feeling out of luck. I am so sad…..

How I wish this I can grouch whenever this foolish people gets in my house every day. A got this two persons from the neighborhood who are very noisy in a sense that they used to be gossipers ever since I met them. I was still a very small guy that time when these people occupied our neighbors flat. That is where it started that our day haven’t been so peaceful because they used to be our nearest “friends” and that’s why they got to visit us daily for a bit of storytelling which will to a very dirty gossips. Anyways, in our culture we are supposed to be hospitable even-though there are times that we met this kind of people. But I am hoping to not rebuke this people soon because right now I am full with them and I just trying to control myself to the last drop of my patience.

How can you help someone who doesn’t want your help? Offering a helping hand is a very good virtue that I have. There are many people who have benefited my help. I do this just because it is a passion of my heart. I just couldn’t afford to see helpless people especially those who seems to be aged ones, our grandparents. Until then I was able to meet this young lady who seemed to be in great need of help. I was just thinking that she wants my help because she was physically impaired. This girl was in seating on a wheelchair. Her right leg was missing and it seems that she was recently being hospitalized. She was trying to steer his wheels to navigate through a seemingly step way. I felt pity on her and I know she’s tired and was about to lose his grip. I run for a help and took a hand at the wheelchair and guide her to the place she wanted to be. But as we reached the place, she was getting angry of me because why did I help her. I explained everything to her and she was really angry because as she says “I don’t want your help. Don’t you see that I can do it? Now go and leave me”. I was sad upon hearing those things from her and I was so downed that it was all about helping someone. I was kind of traumatized of what I experienced and I don’t think I’d be more generous in the future.

I mentioned earlier that I have a passion for RC drift cars. That passion serves as my inspiration to strive and earn a good living so that sooner I can afford to have an RC car. I really love to see in action a drift car, control it, and perform drifts. Although it can be a bit expensive hobby but who cares if that satisfies my needs. Hehehe I just want to enjoy life in a childish way. Besides, RC drift cars are toys for big boys though it comes in small sizes. I would like to acknowledge and thank F31N7 of You Tube for this nice RC drift video.

Good things they we usually do everyday are worth doing well. It is like a routine of jobs that we need to fulfill in order to make our day complete and satisfactory. Taking our daily household chores is one of the best examples of the things that complete our daily living. In my case, I am tasked to do some of the job assignments in our home. I need to do the scrubbing of the floor, washing the dishes after meals, clean the garden, and fill the containers with water from the nearest deep well. Anyhow, since day I started loving and embracing the responsibilities given to me it used to be a big part of my life. In a sense that I always feel bothered when I forgot to accomplish some of those task.
