    its crazy to see how far the diesel engine advanced the first 60 years of development, but it is even crazier how much it has advanced just in the last 15 years.

    • @LesAventuresDeTigRRe

      Advanced in terms of fuel efficiency, bu not in terms of ruggedness. Some of these engines still run today. And you can run almost any fuel/oil in them.

      Yep. Fucking brodozers (toeing trailers and going off-road never) doing 4WD launches eating up their soft rubber mud tires, overstressing their transfer cases and half shafts, cooking their piston rings so it’ll be burning oil and coking up the turbo so it will seize... all so they can say they won against a stock four door family sedan.

    Even though the world is transitioning to electric, I still think diesel is the best way to compress energy for use in work machines because for one, the most efficient batteries we have contain less electric potential and are flammable too. Fat-rich plants can be converted into oil, then biodiesel. The purpose of fuel is not to obtain energy, but to contain it. Doing so in a carbon negative or neutral way is a good bonus too.

    diesel's original design was to run coal dust for fuel, but metering it properly was impossible at that time, so he switched to a liquid and that was originally peanut oil, but ended up being petroleum based instead. much the same way Henry Ford intended for his cars to run on ethanol because of availability and what was popular at the time.

    • @hexane360

      It was probably best that Ford didn't end up using ethanol because, as racecar drivers later learned, it burns viciously yet clear.

    FYI: Nicolaus Otto of Eugen Langen's Deutz AG was not the first to build the 4 Stroke engine. Christain Reithman of Austria obtained patents for his 4 Clock Cycle engines in 1873; 3 years before Otto and Langen. Reithman sued Deutz AG for patent infringment. Otto negotiated a settlement plus a pension for life for Christian Reithman and for the right to be called the first to have invented the 4 Stroke Engine; Reithman agreed. None of us in the later years would have known of this accept Eugen Langen's son, Arnold Langen, wrote a book about Nicolaus Otto and his 4 Stroke Engine with one of the chapters documenting the law suit. Arnold Langen made arrangements for his book to be published after his death. Arnold passed away in 1949. The book was titled, "Nicolaus August Otto - creator of the internal combustion engine".

    • @MRGF78
      @MRGF78 6 років тому +3

      A smaller gear rotating fast turning a larger gear will get a slow turning large gear with higher torque...
      A fast moving large gear driving a smaller gear will get you multiplied rpm's, but a great loss of torque...
      In a transmission you can see the different gear ratios...
      Low gear is slow speed but high torque...
      High gear is high speed but low torque...
      That's why you have to shift to get to speed... if you start in 5th gear, your engine will most likely stall...

    actually no. The air is delivered seperately from the fuel. The fuel is delivered at a later time because if they both were delivered at the same time the compression ratio of the engine would not be able to exceed the level of compression where the air is heated to the optimal flash point, when the fuel would ignite. by seperately injecting fuel, the compression ratio can exceed the ratio where the air reaches ignition temperatures, therefore making diesels more efficient and more powerful.

    It doesn't look like a 1952 film, I had to check the Roman numerals at 0:10 to make sure that MCMLII is really 1952.

      @@tjlovesrachel judging by the image quality, probably from early 40s. Or perhaps it was filmed at that time and released in MCMLII. I am just guessing, am not familiar with machines and their history.

    This ain't a diesel story! Fast & Furious 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Those are the 'diesel story'.

    They never mentioned that Rudolph Diesel was almost killed by one of his early research engines which exploded. What else was left out of this “history” lesson?

      No. It is just air. He wasn't talking about the diesel engine, he was referring to the fire piston which gave Rudolph the idea. The fire piston uses only air and it ignites by compression only.

      Well the diesel does, not the air itself :p

      Air itself will ignite a substance. I purchased a fire piston because I thought the concept so interesting. Fuel like diesel or gas is not necessary to make combustion - only air and pressure.
