THIS TYPE OF MOTOR USED C. 1950S-1960S+
Canada
Muncie Gear Works Corporation was established in Muncie, Indiana around 1910. It acquired a struggling business called “Muncie High Wheel Auto Parts Company” that had been operating for two years. Over the following decade, the company experienced rapid growth by manufacturing clutches and transmissions for the automotive sector. However, in the late 1920s, the business climate began to decline due to changes in the automobile industry, the stock market crash of 1929, and the subsequent economic depression. In 1930, they entered the outboard motor industry by producing a 2hp opposed twin motor. Then, in 1938, they replicated the popular single-cylinder 1.2 hp Evinrude Scout motor. In Canada, there are a number of companies that have specialized in marine engine building. For example, on May 8th, 1928, Canadian Johnson Motor Company Limited established its first location in Peterborough, located at 910 Monaghan Road, in Ontario, Canada. In 1935, OMC bought Johnson. OMC was once Peterborough’s second-largest employer throughout the 20th century. The facilities were extensive, providing stable employment for over 1200 people and generating revenue for thousands of people. OMC manufactured its Evinrude and Johnson brand motors at this plant until its closure in 1990, though the company was dissolved on February 1, 1982. La corporation Muncie Gear Works était établie à Muncie en Indiana autour de l'année 1910. La compagnie a fait preuve d'un agrandissement rapide après avoir acheté la compagnie Muncie High Wheel Auto Parts. Il a commencé à fabriquer des transmissions et des embrayages pour des automobiles. La compagnie était victime de la Grande Dépression vers la fin des années 1920 et les changements à l'industrie d'automobiles qui ont suivi. En 1930 ils ont changé leur direction et ils ont opté pour l'industrie des moteurs hors-bord. Ils ont commencé à produire des moteurs double avec une Puissance de deux. Plus tard, en 1938 la compagnie à imiter un autre moteur hors-bord a un cylindre : le moteur Evinrude Scout. Au Canada, de nombreuses compagnies ont spécialisé dans la production des moteurs hors-bord comme la Compagnie Canadian Johnson Moteur Limité qui ses établis à Peterborough en Ontario. En 1935 OMC a acheté Johnson et il est devenu un des plus gros embaucheurs de la ville pendant le 20ie siècle avec plus de 1200 employées. La compagnie a fabriqué des moteurs hors-bord sous la marque Evinrude et Johnson à l'usine jusqu'à sa fermeture en 1990 malgré le fait que la compagnie était dissolue le premier de février en 1982.
Function
This artifact functions as a small internal combustion 1-cylinder 1.5 Horsepower engine. This artifact can be attached to the stern of a small boat. Cet artefact est conçu pour être attaché à la poupe d'un petit bateau. L'objet est un moteur à combustible qui a un cylindre et une Puissance de 1.5.
Technical
In outboard engines, fuel and air are burned in a closed space, known as the cylinder; this burning process generates hot gasses that try to expand. The only way for the hot gasses to expand is by pushing the piston downward; the piston is connected to a rod, which is linked to the crankshaft. The crankshaft converts the piston’s downward motion into a rotating motion of the shaft. Two-stroke engines are known for their simplicity and affordability. They are lightweight and compact, but oil is mixed with the fuel to lubricate the internal parts and during the combustion process. Some of the fuel mixture from that process escapes with the exhaust, resulting in wasted fuel making them less fuel-efficient and also noisier as well as posing risks in the form of water pollution. Des moteurs hors-bord brule du carburant avec de l'air dans un cylindre. Ce processus va générer des gazes réchauffées qui essayent d'agrandir. La seule façon pour l'expansion des gazes dans un environnement restreinte est de pousser le piston vers le bas. Ce piston est connecté à une tige qui est liée à un arbre moteur. L'arbre moteur converti la mobilité descendante du piston a une motion de rotation. Les moteurs à deux temps sont connus pour leur simplicité et leur faible prix. Y sont légers et compactes mais l'huile est mélangée avec le carburant pour lubrifier les composantes à l'interne du moteur. Ceci fait en sorte que le mélange va s'échapper pendant le processus de combustion et les rendre moins efficace et plus bruyant en plus de polluer nos eaux.
