The first stage in the transmission of a car with a manual gearbox is the clutch.
It transmits engine
power to the gearbox, and allows transmission to be interrupted while a
gear is selected to move off from a stationary position, or when gears
are changed while the car is moving.
Most cars use a friction clutch operated either by fluid (hydraulic) or, more commonly, by a cable.
When a car is moving under power, the clutch is engaged. A pressure
plate bolted to the flywheel exerts constant force, by means of a
diaphragm spring, on the driven plate.
Earlier cars have a series of coil springs at the back of the pressure plate, instead of a diaphragm spring.
The driven (or friction) plate runs on a splined input shaft, through
which the power is transmitted to the gearbox. The plate has friction
linings, similar to brake linings, on both its faces. This allows the drive to be taken up smoothly when the clutch is engaged.
When the clutch is disengaged (pedal depressed), an arm pushes a
release bearing against the centre of the diaphragm spring which
releases the clamping pressure.
The outer part of the pressure plate, which has a large friction
surface, then no longer clamps the driven plate to the flywheel, so the
transmission of power is interrupted and gears can be changed.
When the clutch pedal is released, the thrust bearing is withdrawn
and the diaphragm-spring load once again clamps the driven plate to the
flywheel to resume the transmission of power.
Some cars have a hydraulically operated clutch. Pressure on the
clutch pedal inside the car activates a piston in a master cylinder,
which transmits the pressure through a fluid-filled pipe to a slave
cylinder mounted on the clutch housing.
The slave-cylinder piston is connected to the clutch release arm.
Parts of the clutch
The modern clutch has four main components: the cover plate (which
incorporates a diaphragm spring), the pressure plate, the driven plate,
and the release bearing.
The cover plate is bolted to the flywheel, and the pressure plate
exerts pressure on the driven plate through the diaphragm spring or
through coil springs on earlier cars.
The driven plate runs on a splined shaft between the pressure plate and flywheel.
It is faced on each side with a friction material which grips the
pressure plate and flywheel when fully engaged, and can slip by a
controlled amount when the clutch pedal is partially depressed, allowing
the drive to be taken up smoothly.
The release bearing is pushed hard against the diaphragm spring,
either hydraulically or by a cable and lever, and releases spring load
to interrupt power transmission

By:Prayag nao If you've ever dreamed of cruising around town on a floating skateboard like Marty McFly does in the classic '80s flick "Back to the Future Part II," then you could soon be in luck. A pair of innovators is trying to make the futuristic fantasy of riding a hoverboard into a reality. About two months ago, husband and wife design team Jill and Greg Henderson launched a Kickstarter campaignfor their Hendo Hoverboard, a levitating skateboard that could hit "hoverparks" as early as October 2015. The Kickstarter campaign , which ends Sunday (Dec. 14), has been a resounding success, bringing in well over its initial goal of $250,000 in its first week. With only a couple of days to go in the impressive crowdfunding campaign, the project has already raised nearly $500,000. But with all the hype comes an important question: How in the world does this thing work? The basic premise behind the technology is something called
