The proposed approach is applied to the industrial problem of designing a car engine intake port.
The idea is that when the sensor finds a concentration of bad gas, it will send a command to the climate-control computer telling it to shut down the car's fresh air intake.
Ferrari also subtly modified the car's front air intakes for better aerodynamics and brake cooling, altered the shape of the car underbody for increased downforce at speed, gave the 575M xenon headlamps and redesigned the wheels.
His design offers an "inside" view of the car, including renderings of the intake manifolds painted on the hood.
So far he has taken medals at the X Games, appeared as a last-minute substitute at the Race of Champions in London and acquired sponsorship from makers of energy drinks, car stereo speakers and engine intake systems.
Ms. Prague also proposed a bill that would require the installation of a device wired to the ignition of a car that could measure alcohol intake for people who have two drunk driving convictions.
Operations information could then be sent back to the car, adjusting performance parameters: air intake, tire pressure, suspension, etc. Wouldn't this make driving safer?
Seven gaping air intakes on the car's exterior are functional, cooling the brakes and feeding air to the 400-horsepower 4.2-liter Audi V-8.
We got a bag of sandblasting sand and hooked up into the intake and started the car.
In other words, engineers want the smallest possible air intake scoops on a car to encourage the least amount of drag that such scoops cause, which slows down the car.
