Politics / Re: 300% Hike In Aedc Tariffs Prepaid Meter. Pics by Elsquidme(m): 4:38pm On Mar 22, 2018
JEDC saw that if every house are metered, the rate at which they gain will not be to their expectation like they usually do with estimated billing system. So they rig the new meters to read energy more than normal. As customers observe that there is anomally in the way the new meters zap units, customers protest and i can tell you some people rejected the new meters. This happen to a man who bought N10000 worth of units but finish in just 2 hours by using a 1hp pump to finish it. The man became furious and went to report it to JDEC. I did not hear what transpired later cos i left the scene. So how can a 1hp pump zap 303 units in 2hrs? 1HP is 746watts and energy (KWH) is power x time (in hrs) so 0.746x2 equals 1.492KWH (i even exclude electric motors starting power which is around either 2x or 4x their rated power) which a unit display by a meter is in KWH so how possible is that? Electrical engineers should help answer that.

Nairaland / General / Activities Of Yahoo Boys Becoming Alarming by Elsquidme(m): 2:37pm On Jul 07, 2017
Today, a woman came rushing into the banking hall of UBA main branch reporting unauthorise debit of N300k from her UBA Account. It was reveal that she foolishly call and gave her account details after an SMS was send to her that" her BVN name does not match with her account Name so her ATM and her account is block. she should call this number to reactivate." She Mumushly gave her ATM PIN, The long digits printed on the ATM Card (usually a 16 digit number). Thats how she lost 300k.
PLEASE dont be a mumu and gave your details on phone. Banks will always tell you to visit their nearest branch to solve issues. Dont be a mumu like my cousin sister who called and gave them her ATM details were they wipe her account; her only N4000, this happen just last week ago.
"Dear customer,due to your BVN error your ATM & your account has been block to open it contact how customers care on 09034523742 to open under 24hrs" thats is the message they always send. BE WISE!

Does An Automatic Transmission Have a Clutch?


Most of the time we think of a clutch in the context of a manual transmission. An automatic transmission does have a clutch system, but usually only a mechanic would refer to it as such. Your automatic transmission performs the same function as a manual transmission – it just does it a little differently.
Automatic transmission basics
Automatic transmissions contain an amazing amount of parts, all of which come together in what’s known as a torque converter system. Your engine and your transmission meet at the bell housing, which contains a torque converter for automatic cars, as opposed to a clutch for a manual transmission. The torque converter connects the engine and the transmission so that the wheels will turn. Planetary gear sets provide the different gear ratios.
The torque converter contains a turbine, an impeller, a stator, and a lock-up clutch (so there you go – your automatic transmission DOES contain a clutch). The impeller is part of the housing of the torque converter, and is connected to the engine. It drives the turbine by means of transmission fluid, and then returns the fluid from the turbine.
Meanwhile, the stator is resting between the turbine and the impeller, minimizing churning loss and increasing torque output by redirecting the fluid from the turbine to the impeller, helping it to move and adding to motor torque. The stator can only rotate one way, so it either rotates with the impeller or doesn’t move at all. The stator gives you more torque when you’re at idle, but not when you’re at highway speed.
Planetary gear set
Now you know how the engine delivers power to the transmission. But how does your automatic transmission change gears? It does it by means of a planetary gear set. It gets its name because it consists of a main, or sun, gear in the middle. There are other gears that rotate around the sun, a planet carrier that connects them, and a ring gear that meshes with the planet gears. The whole system works on the principle of using clutches and brakes to keep various components from moving, so you can change your gear ratio without needing to engage different gears, as you would with a manual transmission – they’re already engaged for you. We could go into much greater detail here, but you have the basics at this point.
The fluid pump
Now, how exactly do clutches and brakes in an automatic car work to change the gears? The key is the fluid pump, working along with the torque converter. The torque converter essentially drives the fluid pump, and the pressure coming from the pump activates the brakes and clutches in the planetary gear set. A rotor spins in the pump housing and creates chambers that create a change in volume. As the volume decreases, the fluid is either pumped or compressed as the gears mesh. Then hydraulic signals are sent to your automatic transmission, by means of clutches and band brakes, locking the torque converter.
Mechanics spend weeks in class learning about automatic transmissions. This is essentially a brief overview to outline a bit about how an automatic transmission works, and to answer the question “does an automatic transmission have a clutch?” Yes, it does!

sweerychick:
lol automatic transmission doesn't use clutch system. Here are some signs of failing automatic transmission.
1. It takes time to engage when you want to move
2. It also takes time to switch gears

3. Decrease in acceleration

4 like manual transmission, you smell some kinda burnt rubber (that burnt smell is from a part in the gearbox . This is usually caused by lack of gearbox oil or wrong transmission oil)

5. Your engine would stop when you load the gear. I.e if you put it in either drive or reverse your car would stop abruptly.


These are major signs of auto transmission failure. How did I know? Well I have a good knowledge of auto vehicles. And I once had issues with my car that is auto transmission. Remember if you experience any of these signs, consult your auto Mech immediately. Don't work on your gearbox if it has failed completely, just get a new one.cheers.... kiss kiss

No. 5 is not cause by the phone
if she were being hit by the car while playing pokemon go, her phone will not be in her pocket. this means she wasnt playing when hit by the car so its not because of the phone.
Nairaland / General / JEDC Has Silently Increase Electricity Tarriff by Elsquidme(m): 3:01pm On Feb 11, 2017
I came to discover that, after i bought a recharge Voucher. I discovered that the usuall energy sum in KWH reduced from 70.73 to 68 . normally after the removal of fixed charged they increase the tarriff for residential to N26.93 per KWH. Now tarrif is reading N29.81 per KWH do any One in their respective xEDC notice it? This is coming at a time the Nation is rejecting increase in Electricity tarriff.
