  • Gale Banks doesn't want to "roll coal". He has built engines for race cars, land speed record holders, Pikes Peak climbing semi trucks, and military vehicles. He is one of the best engine builders in the world, and today he's going to explain the torque-full fuel that is diesel.
    Wrench smarter.
    Introducing a NEW series on /DRIVE, aimed at educating you to build a faster, better, more reliable car: /ENGINEERED. We want to empower our fellow enthusiasts to know more, and do more, by learning from some of the best engineers in the game.

      ***** He used some pretty simple terms that can be googled. Spending 5 minutes online reading any basic technical article will help. Most car guys have a basic level of understanding. Even engineering explained covers the topic in depth. That's usually a good starting point to learn. If you're into working on cars pretty much all he covered were the basics of how and why a motor makes the power that it does.

    • @karsoncox4403
      @karsoncox4403 8 років тому +1

      +A10troll well rotary is a gas engine ... how about you say well he looked at combustion engines how about rotary. but he probably has no clue about them most people don't and thats because they are kind of a stupid motor they arnt very fuel efficient there expensive there heavy and they don't last very long. i mean yeah if you mod one enough it can get some crazy numbers like a 4 rotary twin turbo but most of those vehicles are promotional race vehichles and don't make sense in real world application.

    • @rgsv2248
      @rgsv2248 8 років тому

      +Karson Cox the secret with rotary engine is to keep heat work for torque, and no dumbly heat up rotor and housing wall.
      There are some ways to do that and one of the first is to burn as fast as it's possible, that's why rotary get better efficiency as rpm rises and why the R26B has 3 sparks plug / housing
      So idealy rotary will be pleased with burning H² or gasoline by knock
      You can get better efficiency by reducing heat dissipation by using exotics surface treatment and materials.
      All others aspect of rotary stays quite close to reciprocating piston engine.
      But yeah, rotary are intersting for making power in a relativly small package, but it's a uter sh*t for efficiency and efficiency is the key

      In order to join the SS, you needed to proof that you were a pure arian german. They traced your ancestry. So him joining the SS would exclude the possibility of him being jewish. Besides, nazi and SS-member or not, he is said to have been a very kind, warm and admirable man.

That probably combines the best traits of eco cars and combustion engines.

  • @erickdickman2051
    @erickdickman2051 8 років тому

    The only comment I have is that the P1V1T1=P2V2T2 pre and post inter cooler, temp drops, pressure drops, volume is constant.. you arent looking for more density from the inter cooler as much as you are looking to minimize temperature entering the cylinder to keep those combustion temps down. Higher intake temps temps become higher by a multiple of your compression ratio during compression and then higher again in addition by several constants ((QlhvBTU_1*combeff_1)/(((cvmix_1+cvex_1)/2)*(1+AF_1)). Keep temps down on intake, keep more oxygen in the engine, regulate fuel, make power.
    This guy did a good job either way!

    • @lolzlarkin3059
      @lolzlarkin3059 8 років тому +2

      I've gotta agree with the expert here. it doesn't really matter about intake temp in a diesel because you inject fuel at the top of the stroke so you can't get pre ignition. your only limit to power is the amount of fuel you can burn. you need the most amount of air molecules in the cylinder as possible. or the greatest density of air. it doesn't need to be at any specific ratio like a petrol engine, if you have more air then you need it'll just get exhausted out, if you don't have enough, you'll have some partially burnt fuel and you'll see black smoke.

    Finally, a guy willing to tell the coal rollers off! *OVERFUELING KILLS ENGINES!!* You wouldn't believe how many guys out there are buying injectors in bulk, not even getting them flow matched, just to get that nice new knocking sound of a Diesel struggling to run at idle! Diesels require VERY little fuel to run, they adore air to compress, the more air that can be heated and compressed, the greater the efficiency of the burn! Don't even worry about knock, the better cetane level, the quicker the burn!
