Your IKENGA is the engine of the car while your CHI does the steering
Everybody admires sports cars, but sports cars are powered by powerful engines. Often the engine is a V10 or V12 engine. You look at Jaguars and Lamborginis, and this is the type of engine you are working with. That is what makes them so admired by car junkies who have a need for speed, and who will pay buckets of money to get their hands on one of these luxury sports vehicles.
However, in order for such a car to handle a V10 or V12 engine, one needs special steering capabilities. Because the a powerful engine like this can go from (as the rappers say) “0 to 100 real quick!” (as in 0 km/h to 100 km/h very quickly). Even, when you try to turn around a corner in such a vehicle it would not take much (at such high speeds) to spin out of control and crash. For this reason, you need special breaks and of course special steering.
You can’t just get the steering of a Toyota Camry for a Lambourgini. Not all steering is created equally. Some cars may need to be very sensitive to slight turns and tilts. They must also agree with how you break, slow down and stop your car. Other steering are not as easily triggered. They may be more stiff and take a little for effort to turn. Think about driving a big 12-wheel truck versus driving a much smaller mercedes benz. Imagine if that big truck was easily triggered steering. It would be uncontrollable.
This is physics in action, because Physics tells us that you will get a greater force when you increase the mass and/or the acceleration. And if you speed up something that is very large with very big speed, you can do a lot of damage. Imagine throwing something very big and heavy very quickly at somebody (you can kill that person), versus throwing something very small at the same speed (it may not do as much damage). But if you throw that small thing with a faster speed or acceleration (like a bullet), you can still kill. This is Force = mass * acceleration at work.
So, why am I going on and on about cars? It is because I want you to understand the point I am going to now illustrate about Ikenga.
