The primary function of a control arm is to provide the connection point between the body of the vehicle and wheel. This allows the wheel to move up and down while the body frame and passengers stay s [..]

An LC circuit can store electrical energy oscillating at its resonant frequency.

The recirculating ball steering mechanism contains a worm gear inside a block with a threaded hole in it; this block has gear teeth cut into the outside to engage the sector shaft (also called a secto [..]

The cooling and dehumidification of a vehicles cabin air. Short for Air Conditioning.

An engine-driven pump in the air conditioning system that increases the pressure of the refrigerant.

A tube-and-fin heat exchanger that is exposed to outside airflow. As refrigerant vapor flows through the tubes, it condenses to liquid and releases heat that the air stream carries away. The condenser [..]

AGM is an advanced battery technology that allows the electrolyte (acid) to be uniformly distributed across the battery plate active material, allowing the battery to tolerate repeated deep discharges [..]

Many automatic battery charges will charge a battery in stages, beginning with the initial or bulk charge phase, which brings the battery to about 3/4 of a full charge. During the Absorption charge ph [..]

Also known as paste, active plate material is an absorbent lead-based substance that coats the plates and converts chemical energy to electrical energy (current) within the battery.
