This document discusses the boxer engine used in the Volkswagen Type 1, or Vocho. It provides a brief history of the Vocho, noting that it stood out for its simple and indestructible mechanics and rear-mounted engine. The boxer engine has horizontally opposed pistons, giving it a low center of gravity. It produces 48 horsepower from its characteristic 4-cylinder boxer configuration. The overhead valves are opened by the camshaft and rocker arms to allow the fuel-air mixture to enter and exhaust to exit. The engine has a unique cooling system where cold air is collected from parts of the vehicle and directed to the radiator through reflectors on the engine cover.

2023 WHAT IS AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE? An inteínal combustion engine o í inteínal combustion engine is a type of machine that obtains mechanical eneígy diíectly fíom the chemical eneígy of a fuel that buíns inside the combustion chambeí. HISTOR Y THE VOCHO ENGINE STOOD OUT FOR ITS SIMPLE AND INDESTRUC TIBLE MECHANICS, FOR ITS PARTICULARITY OF HAVING IT IN THE REAR PART FOR BEING VERY ECONOMICAL. THE VOLKSWAGEN TYPE 1 IS A POPULAR A-SEGMENT CAR PRODUCED BY THE GERMAN MANUFACTURER VOLKSWAGEN FROM 1938 TO 2003. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE VOCHO ENGINE LO W FEATURED COMPRESSION, - , LOW-POWER LOW- REV ENGINES, COUPLED WITH ITS INDEPENDENT CHASSIS AND BODY CONFIGURATION THATHAVE MADE IT THE IDEAL BASE FOR ALL KINDS OF PREPARATIONS. BOXER VOCHO ENGINE THE BOXER IS AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE WHOSE PISTONS ARE LOCATED HORIZONTALLY AND OPPOSED TO EACH OTHER, WHICH IS WHY IT IS CONSIDERED A FLAT ENGINE. ITS NAME WAS GIVEN TO IT DUE TO THE WAY ITS CYLINDERS WORK: THEIR MOVEMENT RESEMBLES THAT OF A BOXER'S WARM-UP. HORSEPOWE THE VOCHO HASR A CHARACTERISTIC 4-CYLINDER BOXER REAR ENGINE AND ITS POWERFUL 48 HORSEPOWER. FUNCTIONING OVERHEAD VALVES ARE OPENED ON THE INTAKE SIDES AND EXHAUST SIDES BY MEANS OF THE CAMSHAFT, PUSHRODS AND ROCKER ARMS, THUS -AIR MIXTURE EXHAUST ENTERING A FUEL TO RELEASE ANMIXTURE. DIFFERENT C OOLING The cold a i í is collected fíom the cold p a í t of the vehicle and that is the íeason why theíe a í e some slits in the u p p e í p a í t of the engine coveí and on the sides of the vehicle, and it is veíy impoítant to note that the engine has its íeflectoís of tin that oíiginally comes to coveí the engine, this píevents hot a i í fíom íising to the tuíbine and I sent it to the íadiatoí. ADVANTAGE S O NE OF THE MOST RELEVANT THAT WE CAN HIGHLIGHT IS ITS CENTER OF GRAVITY, WHICH IS MUCH LOWER THAN THAT OF OTHER ENGINES, SINCE THE HORIZONTAL ARRANGEMENT OF ITS CYLINDERS MAKES IT REQUIRE A LOWER HEIGHT. We should also mention that the Boxeí engine means less engine vibíation while díiving; thus píoviding g í e a t e í smoothness in handling, which in t u ín tíanslates into g í e a t e í comfoít f oí both the díiveí and passengeís. • • • REFERENCE J ON GILBERT (31 S DE 2008).
