Throttle

A throttle is a device that controls the amount of fuel or air entering an engine, regulating its power and speed. Think of it as a volume control for an engine’s energy; opening the throttle increases power, making the vehicle go faster, while closing it reduces power. In cars, it's typically operated by pressing the accelerator pedal. Throttles are essential for smooth acceleration, maintaining speed, and efficient engine performance, ensuring the engine responds appropriately to driver input and operating conditions.
