A V12 engine is a twelve-cylinder piston engine where two banks of six cylinders are arranged in a V configuration around a common crankshaft. V12 engines are more common than V10 engines. However, they are less common than V8 engines.
The first V12 engine was built in 1904 for use in racing boats. Due to the balanced nature of the engine and the smooth delivery of power, V12 engines were found in early luxury automobiles, boats, aircraft, and tanks. Aircraft V12 engines reached their apogee during World War II, following which they were mostly replaced by jet engines. In Formula One racing, V12 engines were common during the late 1960s and early 1990s.
Applications of V12 engines in the 21st century have been as marine engines, in railway locomotives, as large stationary power as well as in some European sports and luxury cars.

Im considering installing 24v aircraft landing lights on my jeep wrangler. (for off-road use.) What i would need to fabricate to make this work. I figure they will light up but i want them bright like they are supposed to be.
Hi...Is anyone aware of a way to make car 12V power less clunky? EVeything still seems to have massive cigarette lighter things to get power...and my car only has one of those. I need about 3 or 4. That said, how would I go about trying to make this process more streamline?
I can delve...

Here is the situation: I have a wheelchair powered by two 12v bridged batteries (24v). I like to have 12v output to power a laptop computer. I estimated that I need less than 4A. I do have access to batteries and I think that I do not need to use very expensive 24v-12v converter. It is a way to...
What is the easiest way to convert 24v to 12v without buying a store bought do-hicky. I am running into a problem trying to power things like cd players and lights on my truck. I would be greatful for any advice
