Throttle - EID 101
| This the throttle I built for EID 101, my first semester of my freshman year at The Cooper Union. The throttle is responsible for controlling the air flow into the engine. This throttle does this with a sliding plate that reveals the throat of the intake, allowing air into the engine. The overlapping of two areas is called a convolution of areas, and when two like shapes overlap each other, the change in shared in area is nearly linear. For more in depth information, you can read the technical paper. |
