i have no idea what im doing...

Then why didn't you just Google for more? Everything's there, at your
fingertips.

 

You're pretty lazy, aren't you?

At the risk of being scolded by Elle, I went to:
www.google.com
and entered these search terms exactly as you see them here:
"catalytic converter" honeycomb function

And got this result:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22catalytic+converter%22+honeycomb+function&btnG=Google+Search

If you wish to know more, you can refine my start
by using different terms.

You're welcome.

I gave him more fish in another message. but this is the LAST one!

 

: hello. im in grade 10 and my science class is doing a study on catalytic
: converters... I have nothing on the subject so far because most websites
on
: the internet give prices and how much a new catalytic converter would
cost...
: but that is not what Im looking for... I would highly appreciate it if any
: one knew any thing on around what time should you replace a catalytic
: converter in a car... should you replace it according to the warrenty...
or
: keep the original cat. till it dies? also id b extremely greatful if any
one
: knows any thing about how a catalytic converter actually works... I've
read
: different things of how it works... but nothing ive read has been
consistent
: in the information... so if any of you know how a cat. works then post it
and
: let me know...
:
: thanks... clueless teen....


Weird... When my kids were in grade 10, they knew EVERYTHING. Come to think
of it, when I was in grade 10, I knew everything.

Oh, and I did my own homework, too.

I did like those keywords for the honeycomb search.

Maybe that's the only way to teach people how to refine net searches: Give
them enough examples, and they get an idea of how to separate the "key word
wheat" from the "empty word chaff."

 

You dont know EVERYTHING or you would be on Who wants to be a millionaire,
and nither do your kids! i give him credit for asking the question period,
You can learn from experience not just TEXT! I havent seen you reply with
howe exactly a cat convertor works. HERE since you know EVERYTHING Tell me
this!
I have a 99 accord coupe manaul, Im lookin at a turbo setup in acouple
months. But heres my ? , Im upgrading exhaust to 2.5" piping and basically
doing no cat. I was wondering though if i should do the wideband O2 sensor
with the air/fuel ratio monitor thing. Since I will be runnin a turbo soon,
or Should i just buy the O2 sensor simulator for now? ANSWER THAT SMART ASS!

 

I'm with you... searching for any kind of useful info on car parts on
sites like Google is a nightmare with all the farking parts-stores ads
that make up 90% of the hits.

I Googled "catalytic converter how it works" and the first hit that came
up was http://auto.howstuffworks.com/catalytic-converter.htm.

Another useful link that came up:

hi. im a not so clueless_troll
i am innocent stupid teenager and my internet info class is doin a study on
naive internet users and how to troll good, my teacher said try passive
trolling using the pathetic whatever, teenager approach , im stupid, im
dumb, im cluless and
be vague and see how many people waste lots of energy really trying to help
U

the only real teenie thing about this
is trying to get somebody else to do
there assignment for them

clues,
1. **no** teenie refers to self as clueless
2. teenie venacular is off by 15 years
3. post is too long (think IM)
4. i read howitworks.com

if one ***actually reads*** first paragraph
and still whines about not knowing what
convertor does whine whine and blather
on about not saying what it does or being
vague and in consistent

deserves a failing grade on the report

spend some time in science / math / physics
groups you'll know

 

Exactly! This is an exercise, so when you have to do it "for real" you
*will* know what you are doing.

hey thanks for sayin that but im a girl lol... and yeah im actually
completely clueless when it comes to cars... i just needed a few pointers on
where to look for the info and hopefully sum1 who would have enough time on
their hands to help me actually comprehend the stuff... but i hate it wen
people assume that i know what im doing just cuz im 15... apparently im smart
(IQ of 192) but this assignment is totally prooving me wrong...

 

ok u know what dont make fun of me because im askin for help... at least i
have the guts to ask for help... i grew up knowing EVERYTHING that came my
way... there was nothing i didn't know or didn't comprehend in a second...
the fact that im finding a challenge in catalytic converters just prooves
that no one is perfect! unfortunately even me... so if ur gonna post sumtin
up... dont waste my time.... post sumtin usefull... not all this damn tlak
about ur kids...

 

Oops. I bet you didn't really mean to make a claim like that, now did
you? Especially given that you don't spell, punctuate or elucidate
above the level of the average 12 year old. 92 is a lot more congruent
with what you've exhibited in this thread than 192.

okay... I'm not 12 years old... I'm 15... I'm just a lazy typer when I don't
feel like spending a lot of time on something... I only spell things properly
when I'm going to be getting a grade for it at school. so I DO know how to
type.... and I DO know how to spell... and I DO have an IQ of 192... you can
ask every board official on my city's Board of Education. I've been getting
tested for over 5 years to see if I am infact a teen genius. I've
comprehended physics and calculus, and since then I've been tutoring many
grade 12 students who attend my Highschool in both those subjects... so don't
tell me that it was a mistake to make a claim that... because I did!

 

Oh, c'mon Dave. On the Internet, we've ALL got IQs of 192. You, me, our
semi-literate friend here, everybody. Isn't it cool to be so smart?

 

I'm 14. I just look a lot older than my age. I don't even get carded when
buying liquor, which is just sooo cool. I can buy cigarettes for all my
friends, too.

So do I! What a coincidence!

We already know I am. Nothing to prove there.

I just made the smae mistake, which proves our similar IQs.

 

No. Not me.


19*3*!

Come on fellers give the 192 IQ a go. All mechanics have an IQ of er I'd
better not say Thats why we hang out here eh? Were all less experienced
than we want to be. Whats IQ anyway, its another way of telling someone
you can be smart if you want to be .Most of us cant be smart because
basicly were lazy. Ive got an IQ of er,, dam Ive fergot Its terrible
when Alzheimers sets in...IQ dont mean nuthin den.

A catalytic converter works by getting so hot it burns any pollution
left after the combustion process. Its usualy get polluted by using the
wrong fuel, eg leaded petrol. This is when it stops working properly.
It burns itself out in time, but if treated properly will last longer
than most exhaust systems due to pollution standards making the
manufacture of these devices very long life unit. If you googled you
would have found this http://auto.howstuffworks.com/catalytic-converter.htm
