Mazda RX7 and Mazda RX8 use rotary engines. The working principle of a rotary engine is to directly convert the combustion expansion force of combustible gas into driving torque. Compared with reciprocating engines, rotary engines eliminate useless linear motion. Rotary engines are smaller in size, lighter in weight, and have lower vibration and noise, offering significant advantages. The Mazda RX8 is a sports car under the Mazda brand, with dimensions of 4460 mm in length, 1770 mm in width, and 1340 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700 mm. In terms of power, this car is equipped with a 1.3-liter dual-rotor engine, with a maximum power of 170 kW and a maximum torque of 211 Nm.

What is the difference between 6k, 12k, and 24k carbon fiber helmets?

The difference between 6k, 12k, and 24k carbon fiber helmets lies in the number of filaments in the carbon fiber bundles. Functions of carbon fiber helmets: Carbon fiber helmets offer strong impact resistance, friction resistance, high strength, high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, minimal deformation, long service life, and lightweight properties, providing better protection for the head. Difference between 6k, 12k, and 24k carbon fiber helmets: 24K generates twice the heat output of 12K. 24K refers to 24,000 heating filaments, while 12K refers to 12,000 heating filaments. For the same model, 12k and 24k carbon fibers are similar in tensile strength, elastic modulus, fiber density, elongation rate, and carbon content, but differ in the diameter of the carbon fiber bundles.

What are the domestic large-displacement motorcycles in 2021?

2021 domestic large-displacement motorcycles include the Kove 321R, VOGE 500AC, and Benelli LF-S700. Kove 321R: The Kove 321R, with a curb weight of 155KG, a powerful 40 horsepower, and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 6 seconds, has garnered significant attention even before its official launch. VOGE 500AC: The VOGE 500AC is also a highly anticipated model. Although there are many 500cc retro street bikes in China, the 500AC currently lacks particularly striking highlights. However, the uniqueness of this bike lies in the fact that VOGE is a well-regarded purely domestic brand among China's first-tier motorcycle manufacturers. The quality of this retro street bike represents the manufacturing level of domestic brands in large-displacement models. After seeing the 500AC and comparing it to imported large-displacement models, you can clearly understand whether the gap is insurmountable or if domestic brands are steadily catching up.

What does it mean to check coolant and refer to the user manual?

It indicates that the vehicle's antifreeze is insufficient and needs immediate replacement or replenishment. It could also be caused by excessively high radiator temperature. Main functions of coolant: To promptly dissipate the heat generated during engine operation. Therefore, good thermal conductivity is a basic requirement for coolant. Generally, the replacement cycle for coolant is about 4 years, but regular checks should be performed during use. These checks should be conducted when the engine is at normal temperature for both accuracy and safety. Functions of antifreeze: Corrosion prevention - The acidic byproducts formed from the decomposition of glycol compounds in coolant, along with acidic exhaust gases from fuel combustion that may permeate the cooling system, can accelerate corrosion. Scale prevention - To minimize scale formation, both production and filling of coolant require the use of softened deionized water. Freeze protection - Engine coolants contain additives that lower the freezing point of water to prevent the cooling system from freezing in cold weather. Heat dissipation - Antifreeze provides efficient heat transfer, carrying away excess engine heat to maintain optimal temperatures for critical metal components.

What are the new driving test regulations effective October 1st?

The new driving test regulations implement nationwide one-certificate examination for small vehicle driver's licenses and allow cross-regional segmented subject tests for small vehicle driver's licenses. Key policy changes: Relaxed physical requirements - individuals with monocular vision or mild intellectual disabilities can now apply for licenses provided they meet binocular vision standards. Physical disability standards for license applications have also been eased. New restrictions on foreign license conversion - mainland residents holding foreign driver's licenses must have worked continuously for three months in the issuing country/region before applying for Chinese license conversion. Important notes about the new regulations: Subject 1 theory test consists of 100 true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a passing score of 90. Most candidates won't fail due to time constraints on routes, so timing shouldn't be a concern. For reverse parking, the steering principle is 'better early than late' - early corrections allow adjustment room while late corrections may be irreparable.

Why does the car ETC keep beeping?

The reasons why the car ETC keeps beeping are as follows: ETC not activated: The newly installed device hasn't been activated yet, and it will emit beeping alarm sounds when powered on. Low ETC battery: Newly installed devices may have low battery due to prolonged storage time, which will also trigger beeping alarms. Poor pressure sensing: If the suction cup used to attach the ETC device to the windshield becomes loose during installation, the sensor carried by the cup may not be properly pressed into position, causing an alarm. Accidental triggering of anti-tamper button: Accidentally pressing the anti-tamper button during installation will cause the device to malfunction and trigger an alarm.

Are Plug-in Hybrids Exempt from Purchase Tax?

Plug-in hybrids are exempt from purchase tax. Purchase tax for plug-in hybrids: Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles still enjoy exemptions from purchase tax, green license plates, and government subsidies. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is a type of new energy vehicle that bridges the gap between pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel-powered cars. It features a conventional car's engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel lines, and fuel tank. In daily use, it can function as a pure electric vehicle as long as each trip does not exceed the battery's range (typically over 50 kilometers is achievable), allowing for zero emissions and zero fuel consumption. Considerations for plug-in hybrid vehicles: Properly manage charging time: During use, accurately determine charging times based on actual conditions, considering frequency of use and driving distance. During normal operation, if the battery indicator shows red and yellow lights, charging should commence. If only the red light remains, operation should cease, and charging should begin promptly to avoid severe battery degradation from over-discharging.
