As a former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker and
avid outdoorsman, Dan Skuta enjoys a variety of outdoor activities, including
boating, fishing, photography, volunteering, and snowmobiling.
There are four main components directly
involved in powering and driving the snowmobile: an engine; a clutch system;
tracks; and skis. In addition, explains Daniel Skuta, former Jacksonville
Jaguars linebacker and Michigan native, snowmobiles also have headlamps, a seat
and a windshield similar to those found on motorcycles.
Snowmobile engines are very similar to the
engines found in personal watercraft. The engine sends power through a
driveshaft, which directly rotates the axle and the wheels of the car. The
wheels on a snowmobile are essentially large gears with teeth spaced evenly
with holes in the tracks. Every rotation of the gears powers the tracks and
drives the snowmobile forward.
