a) Piston engine found in most cars
b) Boiler on a steam train

[DaddyK]

Is it B slipstream? A steam train.

 

[loquasagacious]

I lock in B.

 

[n2o_lonewolf74]

d for me eddie

 

[shortygb]

id say d)

 

[loquasagacious]

Comeon Eddie/Slip put us out of our misery - who progresses to round two?

 

[SlipStream]

Ze ansar iz B.

The rotary and piston are examples of an internal combustion engine, where the energy used to power the engine is released in the combustion chamber. However in a steam train, the energy is released outside the actual steam engine in the boiler.

Take it away DaddyK.

 

[DaddyK]

Cool, i took a semi-educated guess with that one because i didn't think it was any of the others. ok uhmmm


The Alternator is a part of which system?

A) Charging system

Which of these is NOT a cause of brake problems:

A)Air in the braking system
B)Engine not holding vacuum
C)Smoke coming from the brake pads
D)An improperly seated piston in a caliper

 

[SlipStream]

It's a hard one, but for me I'm going to place my bet on C.

 

[n2o_lonewolf74]

c please, for me

 

[shortygb]

umm b)?

 

[loquasagacious]

C is the correct answer, congrats to those who got it. Slip was in first though so its his turn in the chair again.

As an aside to shortygb if there is a problem with the engine holding vacuum then the brake booster will not work - this is a serious problem. Don't worry the question was intentionally hard.
