    Sir, great video. I love the clarity the animation brings. How about one on a magneto ignition system, or a capacitive discharge system.
    Lastly, I would love to see one focused on the coil, e.g., internal connections, output waveform, output frequency.

    Remember, voltage to the coil is not battery voltage. It's reduced to about 7 volts by a resistor not shown in the diagram. If your car is running full voltage you will burn the points!

    Teşekkür ederim. Sizden bir ricam var . Arabanın zaman içinde evrimini anlatan bir video yapar mısınız. Örneğin viraj demir uç lastiği eski araçlarda var yeni araclarda askı rotu görüyoruz,yada eski araçlarda turbo yok yeni araclarda var ilk arabalarin mekanizmalarından günümüze kadar gelen elektrikli araçlara kadarki süreçte arabanın evrimini anlatır mısınız bunu kronolojik bir yöntemle animasyonlarla bize aktarır mısınız. Bu dönüşümü çok merak ediyorum . Dediğim şeyi daha iyi ifade etmek için yine örnek vereyim eski araçlarda kilometre teli var ama yeni araclarda kilometre sensörü var bakın bir evrim süreci olmuş bu sorunun cevabını bir videoda komple bir şekilde izlemek istiyorum süresi ne kadar olursa olsun can kulağı ile dinleyeceğim.

    Bro the capacitor or condenser just prevents arcing when the contact points break by providing an easier path than air does, until the points are far enough to stop arcing (also when the capacitor is full im assuming). The cam head is just timing the spark plug fires. Took me a few minutes.

    • @galinstan5603
      @galinstan5603 7 місяців тому

      The output of the secondary side of the coil is AC. Therefore, virtually passing through the capacitor. The electrons do not actually pass through the capacitor. However, the energy passes through by virtue of the internal electric field. It is an AC by pass when the points are open. The closing of the points resets the process.

      ​@@omareid2297if the spark plugs are used to rotate the pistons, how can the pistons be used to rotate the camshaft which in turn turns on the spark plugs? This seems like a putting the cart before the horse situation.

    • @larrywhited3070
      @larrywhited3070 Рік тому

      The starter rotates when the battery supplies voltage to it, via the key and an in-line solenoid (to handle the high current required). The starter when activated then engages the flywheel via mechanical gears. The flywheel is a large diameter gear bolted directly onto the crankshaft, not to be confused with the camshaft. The crankshaft with its offset pivot points is what the pistons are bolted to, but with the necessary rotational movement being achieved via piston rod bearings. It is therefore the crankshaft that makes the pistons move up and down when starting an engine (or back and forth for horizontal applications). Then, once the engine starts, it then becomes the pistons that force the rotation of the crankshaft, which is connected to the drivetrain.
      Not all engines are designed exactly alike. What I'm describing is the most common application for these older gasoline engines that are becoming fewer and fewer. If you have a 1950 to 1980s era engine (roughly speaking) you'll find the video helpful.
      Now to your specific question: There is also "linkage" (accomplished in various ways) between the much larger crankshaft and the separate and smaller camshaft. The camshaft has individual lobes that open and close the intake & exhaust valves for each cylinder. (The cylinders are the dedicated housings for the pistons.) The camshaft also via separate mechanical linkage causes the distributor shaft with its own lobes to rotate...hence the answer to your question after a few necessary diversions. The short answer would be that the starter motor is what first forces the lobe rotation within the distributor, but it accomplishes this through a series of other in-line components. After the engine starts, the starter itself is then completely out of the picture.
      By the way, this was first taught to me in a small-town high school over 60 years ago.

    so while designing these such as ignitions to power automobiles, they didn't quite understand the entire principle mechanisms until decades later wasn't it. it's like electron microscopes allowed medical observations to what they were already doing.

  • @robertbluck7256

    Current in a battery flows from negative to positive, not positive to negative. This is a common misconception. To be correct electric flows from a negative ground to the positive side of the battery. All current flows are incorrect, otherwise a decent illustration.

      ​@@jacobfortier4069hook up a battery the wrong way in a car and see what happens 🤣🤣🤣 the literal movement of electrons does indeed flow "backwards" negative on a power source should be called the positive if one thinks of positive as the one that gives and negative takes.

    • @larrywhited3070
      @larrywhited3070 Рік тому +3

      When getting especially technical (at least several decades ago) we discussed the flow of electricity as "hole flow", not the electrons directional force. And incidentally, WITHIN the battery itself--which you directly mentioned--the flow here would be from negative to positive. You might want to consider this anomaly.

    • @arthurbrown6650

      Current is defined as opposite the flow of elections. You are correct electrons flow from negative to positive, but current was defined before we knew this

    • @galinstan5603
      @galinstan5603 7 місяців тому +4

      There is “conventional current” and “electron flow” both are correct when used in the proper context. Remember, it is all theory we create so we can analyze and create circuits.
