BOXER ENGINES: INTRODUCTION: We all know various engine setups and designs. The INLINE and the V engines are the most common in this automotive world . There's also a different kind of engine that holds up its heritage from the end of the 18th century till date ,that's THE BOXER ENGINE!!. WHY SO THE NAME BOXER?? Boxer engines are powerful,efficient and way loud than the other engines ,they are also called as Horizontally opposed engines .The name boxer is given due its odd firing order of pistons and its arrangement . In a inline engine the pistons are straight but in a Boxer engine the pistons are faced opposite to each other and also their movement is similar to a boxer ,using his ...
ABOUT BASIC COMPUTER HARDWARES:
We all use Desktops , Laptops and many other stuff. And most of us did not know about some basic hardware terms and it's purpose of being in there and coolest thing inside our computers. Let's learn about some basic hardware of our Computers.
THE MOTHERBOARD:
The motherboard is generally considered as the integral part which holds all other components together. It servers as a "mother" for all other printed circuit boards. Hence it is widely known as Mother Board . The name itself shows the importance of this component. To be in short it is the foundation on which all other components are built or connected.
A motherboard provides connectivity between the hardware components of a computer, like a processor (CPU), memory (RAM), hard drive, and video card. There are multiple types of motherboards, designed to fit different types and sizes of computers. To know about motherboards In detail check our post here.
THE CPU:
THE CPU:
The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is called as the Brain of your computer or laptop . The CPU performs all the logical operations and also it is very strong in calculations.
A computer's CPU handles all instructions it receives from hardware and software running on the computer. AMD and INTEL are the two big names in CPU market . And each of them has various pros and cons .

THE RAM:
The RAM (Random Access Memory) is a hardware component that allows to store and retrieve data from the computer . It usually acts as a short time reservoir of data in a computer. They call it as DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) which is a type of memory module. Because information is accessed randomly instead of sequentially like it is on a hard drive, and access times are much faster than the hard drives. That's why they have much price per GB . Than the Local storage drives.
RAM is a volatile memory and requires power to keep the data accessible. If the computer is turned off, all data contained in RAM is lost. To know more about RAM check our post Here.
THE STORAGE DEVICES:
They store data generated by our computer and information stored by us. They are also called as digital storage or storage media etc. We have been improved lot in terms of these storage devices. Now we are even using cloud services for storage. To know more about storage devices check our post here .
THE INPUT DEVICES:
Anything we use to give input or command to the computer physically are termed as Input devices.
These are some common input devices we use in our daily life
- Keyboard
- Mouse
- Joy Stick
- Light pen
- Track Ball
- Scanner
- Graphic Tablet
- Microphone
- Magnetic Ink Card Reader(MICR)
- Optical Character Reader(OCR)
- Bar Code Reader
- Optical Mark Reader(OMR)
To know more about these input devices check our post here.
THE VIDEO CARD (Graphics Card):
The Video Card often called as Graphics Card or Display Adapter Is an expansion connected to our motherboard and it is used to create a picture on a display; without a video card, To be in short it's a piece of hardware inside your computer that processes images and video, some of the tasks normally handled by the CPU. Graphics cards are used by gamers instead of integrated graphics due to their extra processing power and dedicated Video RAM. The GPU is a processor inside the video card to process the graphical images. To know more about the Graphics card check our Post Here.
THE POWER SUPPLY: 
The most important and the most underrated component of a computer. This is an important part which supply power to all of our components. The power supply converts a 110-115 or 220-230 volt AC (alternating current) into a steady low-voltage DC (direct current) usable by the computer and rated by the number of watts it generates. There is also a type of power supply used in most of our Computers it is the SMPS (Switched Mode Power supply). is a power supply that uses a switching regulator to control and stabilize the output voltage by switching the load current on and off. These power supplies offer a greater power conversion and reduce the overall power loss.
