G

G:

The unit of calculate for lateral acceleration, or "road-holding". One g is equivalent to 32.2 feet per second per second, the speed at which any object accelerates when dropped at sea level.

 

Gas Turbine:

An internal-combustion revolving engine with one main stirring part the rotor with pinwheel-like blades attached. Power is very smooth due to the absence of explosions and reciprocating parts.

 

Gears Wheels:

With meshing teeth to transmit influence between rotating shafts. When the gear wheels are of dissimilar sizes, a change in pace ratio occurs. Gears are complete of hard steel.

 

Generator:

A device, which converts rotational energy to DC current. Generators were used in older cars to give electrical energy for the vehicle.

 

Ground Effect:

It is a phenomenon that occurs when the air flow among a moving object and ground creates down force.
