There is a lot of misunderstandings of what ABS is and what it does and more importantly, what it doesn't do. Let us discuss it with a listing of what I think are 3 facts and myths surrounding ABS and why it could save your life someday . ABS is Anti Brake-Locking System As the name implies, it prevents brake locks - the heart-stopping panicking moments of wheel locking up if we apply brake too suddenly. Brakes? Kinda are more important than the engine themselves. This can cause awesome skids which could be attractive if you are a stunt rider and are stunnting. Whereas, if you are trying to stop because you are riding head-on onto oncoming traffic; I have no clue why you would be; but that wouldn't spell good for you, so stopping the biking when you want it to stop is critical for riding. ABS is any system that prevents the wheel lock, by releasing the pressure on the brake disc, if it senses a wheel lock. This is done using motion sensors, which in turn
To understand that question, we need to understand what is breathing. "Breathing (or respiration , or ventilation ) is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange , mostly by bringing in oxygen and flushing out carbon dioxide ." - wiki Now we have that cleared, we often confuse how an engine breathes to how we breathe. We take in air through our nose, lungs absorb it and the nose expels the CO2 gases. Not How Engine Breathes! This is not how the Engine Breathes. The engine needs oxygen to combust and convert to energy. But it does not have a single inlet and outlet path (nose) for moving the air. To better understand the engine, a diagram of Jet Engine, which is also a type of engine can be used. It is very similar to IC engine but just laid out in one stretch. The Three Stages: Intake, Compression - Combustion, Exhaust Air Filter takes in the air. W
