    The unstated component of this sequence is INERTIA.
    When the spark plug detonates the fuel/air mixture,
    the explosive force is transferred to the flywheel,
    the piston rod counter balance, and the mower blade.
    So an explosion is converted to a rotational force that
    causes all mechanical devices to repeat the sequence.
    LISTEN:
    When you PULL the starter rope, YOU are providing
    the FIRST burst of energy that imparts rotational
    inertia to the flywheel, etc, to breath life into this
    brilliant sequence of events.
    And yes, the mass (weight) of the mower blade is designed
    into this process, which explains why mower engines
    do not run well, UNLESS they have a blade attached.
    Incredible mechanical ingenuity that is used so often,
    yet is so difficult to grasp in its entirety.
    THanks for THinking!

    The Carburators really are neat though - the way they are designed is really special. When Taryl says that it mixes the air with the fuel - it literally sucks the gas up from the float bowl though a really small opening that literally turns into really fine MIST once the air smashes against it. In slow motion it's like you'll be seeing some drops of fuel jump up as little blobs - and then the air slams through really quickly and it's like BOOM FINE MIST - and all that fine mist (gas vapor) gets immediately sucked into the engine to be exploded by the spark plug). You guys know how a potato gun works? How when you put the fuel in it's gotta be in a mist form to explode properly? People will sometimes use hair spray or some kind of MIST / spray type fuel? In order to get a proper explosion into the chamber the fuel has to be in mist form - and that's one of the HUGE functions of the carburetor. It turns that liquid fuel into a fine mist every time it sucks air in - and when it sucks air in it's like really short but powerful burst of air. There are a ton of videos on youtube that go into WAY small detail about this - and I think tech ingredients has one, as well as Mark Rober I am thinking he has one too? You guys should watch those - those videos really do open your eyes A LOT MORE about what EXACTLY that part really does and HOW it does it down to the smallest and yet simplest detail. Engineers like to call it: Putting the gas into a stochiometric mixture to the point where it is exploded most efficiently (to the point where after the explosion is done, all the gas is burnt up and there isn't any fuel left inside the chamber after the explosion). Meaning there has to be just the right amount of air combined with just the right amount of fuel to get that perfect mix - otherwise you're running to rich (too much fuel, or not enough air), or running to lean (too much air / not enough fuel), and since the carb really has a fixed amount of air that goes into it and that part of the mix (oxygen) is designed to never change just by the way the carb is physically shaped in it's internal structure - it's all really decided about how much fuel is going into it, that's the changing variable and it's designed to be that way - since that is what the screws control - the amount of fuel being sucked up into the chamber before it's turned into mist by the power suction when the air smacks into it. There's basically two suctions that occur in the carb... the first one brings the fuel up into the main carb chamber where they are just solid droplets of wet fuel, and then the second power suction hits which turns it into a super fine mist and brings it all into the engine to be exploded. It really is neat seeing it all happen in slow motion recorded from a super high FPS camera. The inside of the main carb chamber (for many of them at least) is shaped like a sideways hour glass, where at the center it's the most thin, and then they taper out to larger openings on the ends - which creates this powerful Jet like vacuum effect right where the gas droplets are being drawn in from the center.

    Another interesting point:
    Watch the magnet sweep past the coil as the flywheel turns
    through TWO full rotations for a 4 stroke sequence.
    It actually causes the spark plug to fire TWICE.
    Once to cause an explosion, and once as a sacrificial spark
    (unused, does nothing).
    Yep, that poor plug actually fires when the cylinder
    is full of exhaust.
    And no, your car does not have these "sacrificial sparks".

    at 15:03 you could have said intake and compression are combined in two halves of the same stroke;
    followed by the power and exhaust which are combined into two halves of the second stroke;
    but to be a good example to the children use correct terminology (ie carburetor only has one 'T' in its pronunciation)

    The intake charge is actually push in, not sucked in, via atmospheric presser. It's why you need to jet a carbureted engine for altitude. Saying that the piston sucks in the intake charge, is a misnomer.

    It was common, and still is common for mopeds to use 2 stroke engines. I have a 1980 Honda Camino moped (Have to pedal it to start it, great exercise) which is two stroke, you have to fill the tank with fuel, then add "2 stroke oil" and on my camino the gas cap has a measuring tube fitted to it. I also have a 2011 Yamaha Jog which is also 2 stroke but it mixes the oil for you, it has seperate oil bottle you fill wgich mixes with the fuel automatically.

    Taryl ......... Slippers, Uncle Andy, Skippy or Anthony,
    I understand compressing air after intake. I understand the chamber having to be closed to push the piston down in the power stroke. So , would there be a vacuum in the chamber during the time of and right after ignition of the mixture ?
    I mean to say, as the sealed chamber volume expands in the power stroke, while the air / fuel mixture is burned away , what is left in the new larger volume cylinder ............... & how can there be any exhaust left to flow out if it's all been burned away ?
    I'm just a C+ man and may have more questions than I can answer ??
    Thanks for your generous consideration,
    Sincerely ................................

    • @calvinmientke3539
      @calvinmientke3539 3 роки тому

      The momentum of the air/fuel mix allows the charge to continue "slightly" after the piston reaches the bottom dead center. At the end of the exhaust stroke, the same thing happens with the piston pushing the exhaust gas out "slightly" after top dead center. At this time is where the overlap occurs. It doesn't seem right, but it workes. Dragsters have such an overlap that fuel is blown out the exhaust. Really bad fuel mileage :)
