A cars system

By: Robin
Every part of a car is important. For example, its wheels. If there are no wheels the car would not move and it would probably look like this:

All cars have systems. The least important part of a car would probably be the window. A car would still work without a window but you have a problem if it starts raining. All cars need systems because if there are no systems on a car then a car wouldnt be a car.

For example, if a computer doesnt have a screen it wont work. You wouldnt see anything so you dont know what you are doing.

How A Car Works


The bottom of each piston is attached to the crankshaft. As the pistons are forced up and down they spin the crankshaft, which after sending the power through transmission, turns the wheels.

The engine has four, five, six or eight cylinders. Some very expensive cars have 12-cylinder engines. The gas is distributed to each of the cylinders by the fuel injection system. The fuel injectors vaporize the gas, or turn it into a mist, and the spark plugs in the cylinder ignite the vaporized gas and cause it to explode. The car's ignition system tells the spark plugs when to explode at the correct time. The explosion pushes down a piston in the cylinder, causing the crankshaft to turn.

Brakes are used to slow and stop the car. The brake pedal inside the car is connected to a master cylinder in the engine. When the brake pedal is pressed, the master cylinder sends brake fluid through the brake lines to brake calipers at each wheel. Each wheel has a brake rotor that turns around with the wheel. The calipers squeeze the brake lining on to brake rotors, which slows the car down.
