Modification Angkutan Umum Super Creative

Pada Jaman Sekarang ini, Persaingan dalam dunia Angkutan memang sedang terlihat dimana-mana, Sebagai Contoh saja Jakarta, Di kota Metropolitan Sang Ibukota Negara Republik Indonesia ini, Bus Angkutan Semakin di Padati, Bukan itu Bus yang disediakan langsung oleh pemerintah kota dan bus Angkutan yang di kelola oleh perusahaan swasta maupun Perorangan (Pribadi).

Angkutan Umum atau Bus Biasanya identik dengan Penumpang, Halte, Kondektur atau biasa disebut dengan Kernet dan Ongkos. Jika kita lihat Dikota besar seperti jakarta, Dominan Angkutan Umum Atau Bus Kota belum tertata dengan baik, baik itu secara persediaan jalur khusus Angkutan Bus maupun Fasilitas dari bus itu sendiri. Jika kita bicara Soal Fasilitas Bus, Mungkin anda sudah menganggap biasa jika sebuah Bus difasilitasi dengan AC dan Toilet. untuk Fasilitas pada bagian Bus seperti Modifikasi Body Bus dan lain-lain, mungkin akan jarang anda temukan seperti Angkutan yang ada di daerah padang berikut ini.

Menurut informasi, Bus Angkutan penumpang ini Bukan hanya mendesain bus dengan sedemikian rupa, tetapi para pengusaha bus angkutan rela mengeluarkan uang sampai 20 jutaan hanya untuk memodifikasi Bus angkutan ini. untuk jenis modifikasi sangat beraneka ragam, ada angkutan umum yang hanya sekedar memodifikasi bagian Body dan Interior, dan ada juga memodifikasi bus Angkutan umum itu sampai mirip dengan Mobil yang ada di Need 4 Speed. Amazing..

Modifikasi Body Yang Sedemikian Rupa sehingga Terlihat exclusive, dan untuk bagian dalamnya, ada yang sampai memasang CCTV, TV dan Accecories lainnya yang tentu bukan bernilai murah. menurut informasi, memang persaingan Angkutan Umum yang ada di daerah padang ini cukup aneh, Para penumpang akan lebih senang dan memilih untuk menaiki bus jika melihat fasilitas yang tersedia cukup menyenangkan bagi mereka. Mungkin Angkutan Umum yang memiliki ke unikan tersendiri seperti ini, hanya masih ada di indonesia yaitu Daerah Padang Sumatera barat.

Ini Lah beberapa Keunikan Modifikasi Bus Angkutan Umum yang dimaksud diatas :

Lamborghini Cars Exclusive Entrepreneurs

Assembly of Lamborghini Cars continues to take place at the automaker's ancestral home in Sant'Agata Bolognese, where engine and automobile production lines run side-by-side at the company's single factory. Fewer than 3,000 cars roll off the production line each year. The company currently offers two variations of a single model, the V10-powered Gallardo coupé and roadster. The flagship V12-powered Murciélago coupé and roadster were discontinued at the end of 2010, with a successor expected in 2011.
Automobile Lamborghini S.p.A., commonly referred to as Lamborghini is an Italian automaker. The company was founded by manufacturing magnate Ferruccio Lamborghini in 1963, with the objective of producing a refined grand touring car to compete with established offerings from marques like Ferrari.

The company's first models were released in the mid-1960s, and were noted for their refinement, power, and comfort. Lamborghini gained wide acclaim in 1966 for the Miura sports coupé, which established mid-engine design as the standard layout for high-performance cars of the era. After a decade of rapid growth, hard times befell the company in the mid-1970s, as sales plunged in the wake of the 1973 world financial downturn and oil crisis. After going through bankruptcy and three changes in ownership, Lamborghini came under the corporate umbrella of the Chrysler Corporation in 1987.

The American company failed to return the automaker to profitability and sold it to Indonesian interests in 1994. Lamborghini's lack of success continued through the 1990s, until the company was sold in 1998 to Audi, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, a German automotive concern. Audi's ownership marked the beginning of a period of stability and increased productivity for Lamborghini, with sales increasing nearly tenfold over the course of the 2000s, peaking in record sales in 2007 and 2008. The world financial crisis in the late 2000s negatively affected Luxury Car makers worldwide, and saw Lamborghini's sales drop back to pre-2006 levels.

Google Successfully Conduct a Test with Car Without Driver

Google Self Driving Car
Driverlesscars will soon be a reality on the roads of Nevada after the state approved America's first self-driven vehicle licence. The first to hit the highway will be a Toyota Prius modified by search firm Google, which is leading the way in driverless car technology. Its first drive included a spin down Las Vegas's famous strip. Other car companies are also seeking self-driven car licences in Nevada.

Accident
The car uses video cameras mounted on the roof, radar sensors and a laser range finder to "see" other traffic. Engineers at Google have previously tested the car on the streets of California, including crossing San Francisco's Golden Gate bridge.

For those tests, the car remained manned at all times by a trained driver ready to take control if the software failed. According to software engineer Sebastian Thrun, the car has covered 140,000 miles with no accidents, other than a bump at traffic lights from a car behind.

Human Error
Bruce Breslow, director of Nevada's Department of Motor Vehicles, says he believes driverless vehicles are the "Cars of the future". Nevada changed its laws to allow self-driven cars in March. The long-term plan is to license members of the public to drive such cars. Google's Car has been issued with a red licence plate to make it recognisable. The plate features an infinity sign next to the number 001.

Other states, including California, are planning similar changes.
"The vast majority of vehicle accidents are due to human error," said California state Senator Alex Padilla, when he introduced the legislation.
"Through the use of computers, sensors and other systems, an autonomous vehicle is capable of analysing the driving environment more quickly and operating the vehicle more safely."

Tips for Knowing the Expiration an Automobile Tire

Tires is a device that covers the rim of a wheel. Tires are an important part of the Ground Vehicles, and used to reduce vibrations caused by irregularities in the road surface, protect the wheel from wear and tear, as well as provide stability between the vehicle and the ground to improve the speed and ease of movement.
Most of the existing tires, especially those used for motor vehicles, manufactured from synthetic rubber, although  it can also be used from other materials such as steel.

Reading the Tire Size
Dimensions or the size of a tire can be stated as follows: "205/55 / ZR16"
Specification tire dimensions or sizes may be stated as follows:
205: Tread Width (mm)
55: aspect ratio for the thickness of the tire (%) of the width of the tire tread
ZR: code speed limit
16: rim diameter (inches)
Speed ​​Code Tire
Tire Load Index
Knowing Expired Tires.
Tires is an object that has a shelf life, well if stored too long without being attached in the car, or if installed in a car that is very rarely used.

To know the month and year of Production Tires then we can consider 4 numbers listed to the rim near the lip (see picture).

2 points in front signifies week, 2 points behind marked the year.
For example, it says 0910 means the tire was made in week 9 of 2010

Expiration tires stored in the warehouse is 6 years old, in the sense that if we buy tires that are older than 6 years since produced the user will face a huge risk because the rubber tires are very brittle so that it becomes easier to crack and eventually break.

And for maximum safety are should buy a tire that really "Fresh from the Oven" which was only a few months since the tire was produced.

Also for tires used on cars that are very, very rarely used, replace the tires if tires are 6 years of age and should be replaced for maximum security earlier would be better, for example, was replaced in year 4.

Aston Martin Classic Cars With a price of 36 billion

London - What are Synonymous with the UK? James Bond, Mr. Bean or Hooligans? Not only that, this old school car was also one thing that was "Very British". Yes, this is "The Aston Martin DB3" that cost is estimated at 2.5 million pounds or approximately Rp 36.6 billion.

With a high reputation, the car will be auctioned berkelir orange next month. Estimated price of this car will reach 2.5 million pounds or approximately Rp 36.6 billion. This car is a car that only the alerts in 1955 produced as much as 21 units. Since the period of his life until now, the car is regarded as one of Britain's iconic sports car the most powerful charisma. This car will be auctioned previously owned by the Dutch Motorsport Racers who ride to race in England before taking it to America.

Car Classic Car Enthusiasts Regard this as one of the most exciting sports cars of the postwar world. Orange feels very identical to the Netherlands, according to the first owner of this car. Aston makes very little sports car in their storied history, with 21 DB3 are available for such privateers. DB3/118 is the best of examples that still exist, with the race and fully documented history of ownership and the engine was upgraded to compete and in the first year and still is, until now, said Don Rose, a specialist from the car auction house RM auctions. Rob Myers who is the chairman and founder of RM Auctions degan even call it "a fantastic car with great history".

Jenis-Jenis Motor sebagai Alat Penggerak atau Pembangkit Tenaga


Motor dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dikenal sebagai alat penggerak utama atau pembangkit tenaga. Tenaga yang dikeluarkan motor dipergunakan untuk menggerakkan mesin-mesin yang lain. Suatu motor dapat menghasilkan tenaga apabila pada motor tersebut diberikan bahan bakar yang sesuai. Selanjutnya bahan bakar yang diterima oleh motor tersebut diolah sehingga motor menghasilkan tenaga.

Motor secara garis besar dipisahkan dalam dua golongan, yaitu :


1. Motor Statis : Motor yang menghasilkan tenaga tetapi diam ditempat
Contoh Motor statis : Compresor dan pembangkit listrik.
2. Motor Dinamis: Motor yang menghasilkan tenaga sambil berpindah tempat
Contoh Motor Dinamis : Mobil dan Sepeda Motor.

Sedangkan untuk dari jenisnya, motor dibedakan :

Motor :
a. Motor listrik
- Aliran Searah (DC)
- Aliran Bolak-Balik (AC)
- Aliran Tukar (3 Fasa)
b.Motor Pembakaran
- Pembaharan Luar : Motor Uap
- Pembakaran Dalam : Motor Bensin, Motor Diesel, Motor Gas, Motor Pancar Gas, Dll.
c. Turbin
- Turbin Uap
- Turbin Gas
- Turbin Air
- Dll



Keteranga :

Motor Listrik : Yang dimaksud dengan Motor Listrik adalah motor yang memerlukan aliran listrik sebagai bahan bakar. Dengan kata lain aliran listrik diubah menjadi tenaga.

Motor Pembakaran : yang disebut motor pembakaran adalah suatu pesawat yang dapat mengubah tenaga panas hasil pembakaran menjadi tenaga mekanik (gerak).

  • Motor Pembakaran Dalam : Motor Pembakaran dalam adalah motor yang melakukan pembakaran bahan bakarnya dalam motor tersebut, maksudnya pembakaran bahan bakarnya tidak berhubungan dengan udara luar. Yang termasuk motor jenis ini adalah mobil, sepeda motor, motor gas dan lain-lain.
  • Motor Pembakaran Luar : Motor pembakaran luar adalah motor yang melakukan pembakaran bahan bakar diluar motor, maksudnya pembakaran bahan bakarnya terpisah dengan motor penggerak seperti motor uap. Dalam hal ini bahan bakarnya berupa uap air yang dididihkan oleh ketel uap diluar motor sebagai contoh yaitu lokomotif uap.
  • Motor turbin : untuk lebih jelasnya marilah kita melihat sebuah kincir angina, kincir tersebut dapat berputar karena tenaga angina yang mendorong kipas. Jadi disini kincir tersebut mengadakan gerakan putar dikarenakan tenaga angina. Sehingga kesimpulannya turbin gas adalah gerakan berputarnya kipas.sudu dikareenakan adanya tenaga gas.

Riwayat Singkat Asal Mula Motor

Ilham untuk membuat Motor Bakar timbul dari seorang bangsa belanda yaitu, Tn. Huygens pada tahun 1680. pada mulanya yang digunakan sebagai sumber tenaga / bahan bakar adalah bahan peledak, tetapi ini mengandung banyak resiko yang berbahaya dan mahal. Pada tahun 1760, james watt yang berkembangsaan inggris menciptakan tenaga penggerak yang disebut mesin uap. Adapun bahan bakarnya masih uap air yang diubah menjadi tenaga gerak.

Kemudian Alfhoune Bear De Rackas seorang insinyur menciptakan system motor 4 gerakan (4 tak), sedangkan pelaksanaanya dilakukan oleh Tn. Otto dari Amerika pada tahun 1877 dan pada tahun 1880 Tn. Leonier menciptakan motor 2 gerakan (2 tak). Dari abad ini pula lahirlah motor diesel yaitu motor yang menggunakan jenis motor ciptaan Tn.Rudolp diesel ini adalah dengan bahan bakar yang murah mampu memberikan tenaga besar disbanding motor bensin.

Dengan adanya kemajuan ang pesat dalam perkembangan motor tenaga maka motor-motor pun makin di sempurnakan sehingga timbul penemuan-penemuan baru seperti :
• Jerman mnciptakan kenderaan dengan bahan bakar gas
• Jepang menciptakan kenderaan dngan tenaga listrik yang diambil dari tenaga matahari.
• Amerika menciptakan roket yang mempunyai kecepatan 7 kali keceparan suara.

Namun dari riwayat di atas tidak lepas dari dasar-dasar motor penggerak. Oleh karena itu kita sebagai calon seorang montir dituntut untuk menguasai dasar-dasar tersebut sebagai loncatan pertama dalam mendalami masalah motor penggerak beserta kelengkapannya.

Classic Cars and Car Luxury Collection Jay Leno

Names Like King, SK Tools, and the sun once ruled in the U.S. car market. And when they disappear, part of the history of our industry to disappear as well. But now keep their classic marks of a reasonable businessman and agreed pm Jay Leno-type vehicle.

If you grew up around race tracks and car enthusiasts from the 50 and 60, you are probably familiar with the King and Sun distributor machine testing. Unlike today's cars, old cars do not come with the team to assist in the ignition. It uses a mechanical distributor. A spot test is precisely the machine distributor ignition time, maximize power and efficiency.

Sun is now owned by a Dutch company and did not even make the dealer diagnostic machine again. King of the original company was founded in 1911 in Cleveland, and went out of business several years ago. Without this machine, even the best one to guess the time nearest mechanic. And it's not like a car dealer suddenly disappeared.
