Go Kart
A go-kart, also written as go-cart (often referred to as simply a kart), is a type of sports car, close wheeled car, open-wheel car or quadracycle. Go-karts come in all shapes and forms, from non-motorised models to high-performance racing karts. Karting is a type of racing in which a compact four-wheel unit called a go-kart is used. In the beginning, Art Ingels invented the first go-kart in Los Angeles in 1956. Etymology The exact origin of the term is unclear. One of the first appearances of the term is an 1885 painting by the Scottish artist Hugh Cameron RSA: "The Go-Cart". It is also unclear why the "C" was later changed to a "K". Non-motorised Gravity racers, in North America usually referred to as Soap Box Derby carts, are the simplest type of go-karts. They are propelled by gravity. Go-karts without motors (quadracycles) may also be propelled by bicycle pedals. Motorised Engines Traditionally, small two-stroke and four-stroke internal combustion engines are ...

Gaming Computer
A gaming computer or gaming PC is a personal computer specifically designed for playing video games at very high graphic and gameplay configurations. Gaming PCs typically differ from mainstream personal computers by using high-performance video cards, high core-count central processing units, high-bandwidth RAM and even high-speed storage drives, in order to achieve fast frame rates even under very high resolutions and ultra-detailed graphic renderings, which all enhance the overall gaming experience. Gaming PCs can also be used for other graphics-intensive tasks such as video editing. Many gamers and computer enthusiasts also choose to overclock their CPUs and GPUs in order to gain extra performance. The added power draw needed for overclocking often requires additional cooling to remove the waste heat generated, usually by air cooling (using case fans to drive ambient air over large heatsinks) and/or water cooling. Specialty computer cases are also chosen to improve vent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
