Car Talk › Re: The Differences Between 4, 6, 8, 12… Cylinders by pacespot(m): 12:58pm On Sep 09, 2023 |
AutoHubNG: You probably understand the importance of your car’s engine because without a working engine, you won’t get very far, but most of us don’t know much about how vehicle engines work. When identifying your car’s engine type, it usually comes down to the cylinders. So, what exactly is a cylinder? We’ll go over this, as well as some other engine parts you should know about.
Cylinders are an important part of your car’s engine. Whenever you look at the engine bay of either a newer or an older car, you’ll see the configuration as it’s usually quite noticeable even if it’s only just a quick glance. The cylinders are usually located in front and at the centre. Most of us associate the number of cylinders with power, and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, that isn’t always the case.
Car cylinders are a lot like the pot you use to cook your food. It’s not the cylinder itself that is powerful, but what it holds. Car cylinders contain fuel; the more cylinders you have, the more fuel you can use at one time. It’s the same with cooking pots and pans. You can’t cook 2 litres of soup in a 1-litre pot.
Now with that said, let’s briefly touch on a few parts:
The cylinders – are made of durable metal and are sealed at one end. The other end opens and closes. The cylinder has a tight-fitting piston that slides up and down, and two valves that open and close to let something in or shut everything out.
Intake valve – lets fuel and air into the cylinder (from the carburetor or injector).
Exhaust valve – allows exhaust gases to escape.
Spark plug – sits at the top of the cylinder and it creates a spark that ignites the fuel.
Piston – is located at the bottom of the cylinder and is attached to a shaft called the crankshaft.
Crankshaft – provides power to the car’s transmission and drives the wheels.
The real difference between 4, 6, 8, 12… cylinders
If you should only know one thing about car engines, it should be the difference between a 4-cylinder, 6-cylinder, 8-cylinder, & a 12-cylinder engine (could be more – it was intentional to use the image of a W-16 Bugatti engine in the title-graphic). Since cylinders are like cooking utensils that hold fuel, the more you have, the more fuel you burn. When you have more cylinders, you create more motion to turn the crankshaft, which provides more power to the car. But as you may have discovered by now, more cylinders also mean you’ll burn a lot more fuel, and faster.
That’s why faster or more powerful cars are almost always less fuel-efficient than most economy cars. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that more cylinders equals a faster car. Again, that is not always the case. In fact, most trucks and pick-ups use 6, 8, 10 or even 12-cylinder engines in some cases – but you won’t see an F150 winning a race against a regular sized 6-cylinder sports car. More cylinders mean more power, period. The design of the car, however – dictates how that power is distributed. And modern technology to add to that, has usurped “size” – redefining how much power can be gotten out of “smaller” engines via the manipulation of air – “forced induction” through a modified air intake contrivance based on the principle that more air in the combustion process greatly creates a higher of output of power, and they are usually called Turbochargers or Superchargers. Slight variation in how they operate, however, they both carry out similar functions nonetheless.
Also, pistons matter a lot during this stage – as you might imagine (or not imagine), pistons are subjected to a lot of heat and pressure during all combustion processes. When the pistons are able to move with more force, the combustion will be more powerful, and the car will in turn move with more force.
Conclusion
When choosing between a 4, 6, 8, 10, or a 12-cylinder engine, it’s all about personal preference. If fuel economy is most important to you, you’ll want an inline 4-cylinder engine. If you want to balance fuel economy and speed, then I strongly urge you to consider a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine which can be found in many German sub-compact, compact and mid-size luxury category of vehicles post 2015. To get pure power, a 6-cylinder turbocharged engine may be right for you. Then if you’ve got the means and fuelling (especially now that a sizeable chunk of our income goes into this – God abeg O) isn’t really a problem for you, and you really really long for that your dream powerful ultra-high performance V8 car – then by all measure go for it! There are few pleasures in life; driving the ultimate behemoth is definitely amongst that list…
And as you may know, the best way to determine which car is best for you is to carry out research on it first then take it out for a test drive to see if its performance on an open road will fulfill your heart’s desire but please don’t forget your pocket level O at the end of the day.
Do have yourself a pleasant drive. And as always, thanks for taking out your precious time to read this piece.

Travel › Re: After JAPA - How Long It Took To Make Your First 100 Million by pacespot(m): 12:17pm On Sep 09, 2023 |
Zyxsc: I'm a software engineer working remotely from Nigeria. I earn a 7-figure monthly salary. With my salary only (at an average exchange rate of 850/$), it would take me about 6.6 years to save up 100 million, provided I have zero dependents and had to cater only for myself throughout those years. It's quite a naive way to project this though because a lot of things can happen along those years. But it still gives an idealistic comparison base.
So my question goes to Nigerians currently living or have lived abroad. Can you tell us the country, the job title, and how long it would take to save up to NGN100 milliion, assuming you have zero dependents and have to cater for only yourself. Do remember to factor in taxes if any and other living expenses for yourself alone
The reason for my question is not far-fetched. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to sell ones' properties worth milliions just to JAPA and go start over again. Please, refrain from dragging the country's situation into your answer or any other reason to JAPA. Kindly focus on answering the question as best as possible.
Thanks. Thief, wombia, olojukokoro, greed, everything that is wrong with Nigerians is insinuated in this post. You want to Japa out of poverty in Nigeria that you cannot even afford a quality 3 square meal per day, but you are not thinking of making the best out of it by giving yourself and unborn a better future, but you want to suddenly become N100 millions richer without having any special skills or talents that can fetch you that sum in a short while. Maybe you can join the armed robbery squad then or yahoo. He didn't even start from 5 million to 10 million, this fool just jumped to 100 millions Naira  |

Mummyfour: 21st if August, I was at the American embassy for a visa appointment.
From the period spanning 3 hours I was there, nobody left the interview room with a smile or laughter. Almost every one there was rejected.
The funniest thing about the rejection was the verdict on the light blue paper given to the intending travellers which read" you have not demonstrated that you have enough ties to bring you back to Nigeria "
In a layman's terms, it means we are suspecting that you want to japa into the US.
The most painful aspect was a lot of undergraduates that were turned down. A guy that had a $60,000 worth of scholarship was bounced too.
I saw someone who was just going on a study leave from a whole Deloitte where he works in presently in Nigeria being bounced too. Most of the interviewers didn't even check out relevant documents of the applicants, but just drew their conclusion based on face value.
I was discussing with people and they said inasmuch as the reason for that verdict was baseless and stupid, we Nigerians are viewed as the worst of the worst world citizens to allow access into the US, irrespective of one's qualifications. We have a government, system and people that are fantastically corrupt. We have people who engage in and support illegalities.
Our judiciary is biased and is for the highest bidders, and our political system and elections are flawed (none is perfect anywhere in the world) but ours is glaring and very embarrassing.
Our leaders are not patriotic and that is why when we as citizens have our rights trampled on locally or internationally, nothing is done about it. Nigeria is not regarded as anything again. In other words, we are just seen as nothing but irritating pollutants.
So for those of you that applaud evil in this land, pray you remain forever in Nigeria because even if it is just to go and visit and come back, they will not allow you. If you even have a scholarship or any good thing that can take you out of this country, you will be frustrated at the embassy.
And for those of you that left already and are destroying the name of Nigeria, God's punishment awaits you. And for those that are still making us proud in the US and elsewhere, may God continue to bless your efforts
I rest my case. Please mods front page It beats me when I see some àgbàdo Nigerians on Twitter who have managed to escape from this hellish country but still supporting evil back home, like that ọgbẹni Dipọ on Twitter. |

The rule is that you don't drink directly from the small cup placed on the pot because you are not the only one drinking. The cup is only meant to fetch the water into your own personal cup.
