The hydraulic power or water power is obtained from the use of kinetic energy and potential stream of water or natural waterfalls. In the process, the potential energy, during the fall of the water, becomes kinetic and moves a turbine to take advantage of that energy. This resource can be obtained by…

How the ignition system works?
The purpose of the ignition system is to generate a very high voltage from the 12- volt battery of the car and send it in turn to each spark plug, igniting the mixture of fuel and air in the combustion chambers of the engine.
The ignition system is responsible for gen…
