Home > Displacement on Demand

Displacement on Demand is an automobile technology from General Motors. It allows a V6 or V8 engine to "turn off" one bank of cylinders under light-load conditions to improve fuel economy. EPA tests show a 6% to 8% improvement in fuel economy, but real-world highway use promises even larger gains.

This technology is featured on the following engines:

DisplacementDisplacement can have one of several meanings: Displacement (distance a physical quantity in kinematics; Particle displacement acoustics of sound in air. Displacement (fluid a different physical quantity, used in fluid mechanics and navigation; used as aDisplacement currentDisplacement current is a pseudocurrent invented in 1865 by James Clerk Maxwell when formulating what are today known as Maxwell's equations. It is defined by the flux of the electric field through the surface: : It is incorporated into Ampere's law, whosDisplacement (distance)In Newtonian mechanics, displacement is one of two subtly different quantities measuring distance. a) Displacement is a vector quantity which expresses the length and direction of a straight line from one place to another (as opposed to the scalar quantit
Displacement (fluid)In fluid mechanics, displacement occurs when an object is immersed in a fluid, pushing it out of the way and taking its place. An object which sinks completely displaces an amount equal to its volume; Archimedes' Principle states that when this happens, tDisplacement (psychology)In psychology, the term displacement is an unconscious defence mechanism, whereby the mind redirects emotion from a 'dangerous' object to a 'safe' object. For instance, some people punch cushions when angry at friends. Freudian psychology.Displacement (fencing)In fencing, a displacement is a movement that avoids or dodges an attack.
