Removing a catalytic converter requires a significant amount of time and effort. Here is an introduction to catalytic converters: 1. Introduction to Catalytic Converters: A catalytic converter is a device that converts harmful gases emitted from a vehicle's exhaust into harmless gases through oxidation and reduction reactions. 2. Functions of Catalytic Converters: (1) Improve fuel atomization performance, enhance combustion efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and save 5-20% of fuel. (2) Enhance cold-start capability at low temperatures and reduce noise. (3) Improve power performance, extend the service life of the engine and catalytic converter, and ensure proper vehicle maintenance.

Why Are Parallel Import Cars Cheaper?

Parallel import cars are cheaper because they eliminate the multiple layers of price markups by intermediate dealers. Here is some relevant information about parallel import cars: 1. Definition of parallel import cars: The full name is parallel trade import cars, abbreviated as parallel trade cars, which refers to vehicles imported and sold in the Chinese market by traders without authorization from the brand manufacturers. 2. Advantages of parallel import cars: (1) Significant price advantage; (2) Advantage in model availability and delivery time; (3) More diverse model configurations. Despite the many advantages of parallel import cars, some issues cannot be ignored: they do not come with the national "exchange, refund, and replacement" three-guarantee policy; there is basically no after-sales service; and the pricing is not transparent.

Can the ETC card be removed after installation?

The ETC card can indeed be removed, but the ETC device will not function without it. According to the "Rules for the Use of Non-Stop Rapid Passage Systems," the ETC card must be inserted into the OBU (On-Board Unit) device for normal operation; otherwise, user information cannot be read. If the card is removed, you can use the manual lane and have the staff swipe the card for you. When the ETC card is inserted into the OBU device, a prompt sound will indicate that the device is activated. Without the card, the device remains in a dormant state and cannot recognize vehicle information at toll stations, rendering the ETC system unusable. ETC is a non-stop electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road tolling system. It is specifically designed for toll roads, commonly found on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain urban sections to alleviate traffic congestion. ETC Billing Principle: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Communication between the vehicle's electronic tag (mounted on the windshield) and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane enables backend settlement with banks via computer networking technology. This allows vehicles to pass toll stations without stopping, operating on a "pass first, deduct later" principle. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by minimizing stops at toll stations. Cost-saving: Lowers wear and tear, fuel consumption, and offers a 5% discount on toll fees. Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically process vehicles 2-3 times faster, making the system more advanced compared to traditional methods or license plate payment. Policy support: The State Council's "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Integrated Transport System" aims for 50% ETC adoption rate among passenger vehicles by 2020, with further integration into smart transportation systems like vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. Future possibilities: Beyond increasing ETC adoption, future plans include expanding ETC use to trucks and integrating it with smart traffic solutions for comprehensive travel services, unlocking more application scenarios.

Who Actually Invented the Rotary Engine?

German engineer Felix Wankel successfully developed the world's first rotary engine in 1957 and obtained the patent. Introduction to rotary engines: 1. Advantages: The rotor of a rotary engine performs power stroke once per rotation, compared to conventional four-stroke engines that require two rotations per power stroke. This gives it a higher power-to-displacement ratio (smaller engine size can deliver greater power output). 2. Characteristics: Due to the axial operation characteristics of rotary engines, they can achieve higher operating speeds without requiring precise crankshaft balancing. The entire engine has only two moving components, representing significant structural simplification compared to conventional four-stroke engines with over twenty moving parts including intake/exhaust valves, thereby greatly reducing potential failures. Beyond these advantages, rotary engines also feature compact size, lightweight construction, and low center of gravity.
