Marvin's Ideas

Writing down some articles and posting it online is my way of getting into the real world. Basically, it’s been my hobby to share my thoughts and anything that goes into my mind every day. Well, I may not be good at what I was writing but for me there’s a certain point that satisfies me when I saw my articles floating on the web and read by some people( I hope so). Well, everything is kinda random thoughts from my daily experiences. Some may just be a thought out of an idea and others are just situations that are made to relate a certain thought. At the end, everything here is just a concept of how my life is going on and how I want it to happen in the future.

Just like any other materials and stuffs that we had at home our faucets do need to be changed. For certain reasons of wear and tear, we need to replace it with a new one. We usually do the job instead of hiring someone to fix it up. So, here we are using our newest installed faucet located in our kitchen.

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.

A found a Canon IXY Digital 55 in my sister’s cabinet last month. No! If you think I got it stealthily then that’s wrong. Well, about this picture, you can see that it’s obvious blurry. It is because I zoomed in too much, until the last point of which the cam is capable of doing so. So, this is it and that’s why I call it a cheap shot!

Biking is one great fun activity for me. If you’ll be asking me to choose between basketball and biking, then I will choose it. I really love individual sports. It so happen that I don’t see myself effective when I’m in a group. So, I made a decision that I shall rely beneath my own feet and struggle with my own hands.

Recently, I received a message on my facebook account from a certain guy who was a friend of my college classmate. He asks me if I am interested to join the band that he’s going to arrange when he’s back here in our place. He’s currently working overseas and hopefully he’s going to be here the following days. Well, am I open to join and jam with the rest of the band but my problem here is that I don’t have enough money to spend for the travel. He’ll be the one to hold everything for the instruments and the space but their place is much distant from ours. I don’t know what should I do with this but I really want to join that band because actually music is my passion, it’s one of my dreams to be on a musical group.

The garden of my mother I think is the best spot to stay when I’m at home. There’s always a feeling of comfort and an abundance of life in the garden. That’s why most of the time my mother stays there taking care of the plants. Also, sometime she modifies the landscaping of it and then adds some plants that were given to her by the friendly neighbors.

One of my greatest dreams during these days is to have a bike. Precisely it would be either a BMX bike or dirt MTB. I am a big fan of the recent days gravity sports stars. I always look for videos of the famous riders of the current generation and hook up on their bike checks. I am not that loving to fly and perform those extraordinary stunts; I just love to see myself riding those cool builds. I guess more of my post in the future will include bike check videos and other stuffs that I always wanted to see.

Mama’s doing her crochet. She started it last month when I tried to suggest to her to try make it as her hobby since she was complaining that she felt bored after doing some chores are home. Well, now that she’s into it I saw a lot of changes at her. Mama is doing really great at it and I could see the improvement every day.
