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, Ontario. In 1935 Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC) bought the company. OMC was already an amalgamation of three merged companies (ELTO, Evinrude and another competitor) by the time it had bought the Johnson Motor Company. By the late 1950s, around 45% of Peterborough’s production was exported to New Zealand, Venezuela, Hong Kong, England, South Africa, Australia, Belgium, and Nassau. This was done by providing stable employment for over 1200 people at their facility. OMC manufactured its Evinrude and Johnson brand motors at this plant until its closure. The company would eventually its name to Outboard, Marine & Manufacturing Co. (OMMC) (a subsidiary of Gale Products Inc.) Canada before it was dissolved in 1982. Au Canada, de nombreuses compagnies ont spécialisé dans la fabrication de moteur marine. Par exemple, le 8 Mai, 1928 la compagnie nommée Canadian Johnson Motor Company Limited a établi une usine à Peterborough. En 1935 Outboard marine Corporation (OMC) a acheté la compagnie. OMC faisait déjà parti d’une fusion de trois compagnies (Elto, Evinrude et un autre compétiteur) quand ils ont acheté la compagnie Johnson Motor. La corporation filiale Gale Products Inc. à servi comme sa troisième division avant que la compagnie change son nom a OMCC (Outboard, Marine & Manufacturing Co.). Rendu à la fin des années 1950 presque 45 % de la production de l'usine à Peterborough était exporté à plusieurs endroits au monde. Plus de 1200 personnes travaillaient pour exporter des moteurs hors-bord à des pays comme la Nouvelle Zélande, l'Australie, l'Afrique du sud, l'Angleterre, le Venezuela, la Belgique, le Hong Kong et aussi le Nassau. OMC a fabriqué des moteurs avec la marque Evinrude et ELTO jusqu'à la fermeture de l'usine. - Function
-
This artifact functions as a small internal combustion 1-cylinder 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. - 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. - Area Notes
