      more actually, because your engine I'm guessing is a 4 cylinder, so that means your engine has to do this 32000 times in a second because rpms count rotations of the crank shaft. or if its a 6 cylinder its 48000 times a minute or and 8 cylinder its 64000 times. Or if your really lucky and its a 16 cylinder its 128000 times a minute. so yea, be nice to your engine and give it oil

      I, on the other hand, am quite suprised that in the XXI century when we all have computers in our pockets still base almost all of our transportation on this primitive technology revolving around simply expanding gasses to push a piston. The fundamental principle of these engines hasn't really changed since th steam engine from the XVII century.

    • @Horny_Fruit_Flies
      @Horny_Fruit_Flies 7 років тому +17

      ***** First of all, nickel isn't found in large quantities in the Middle East. Countries in Oceania and Russia are the largest nickel producers. Secondly, unlike oil nickel is reusable. Thirdly, nickel is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, so there's not going to be a race for it. And fourthly, at least we won't be polluting the atmosphere with electric cars as much as with combustion engines.

    • @ByakuyaReborn
      @ByakuyaReborn 7 років тому +15

      Horny Fruit Flies Nope it's still not a great alternative currently . Burning the nickel to make car batteries puts out a lot of pollution. So everytime we recycled them to make car batteries we are putting out as much pollution that a combustion engine would after 300k miles. Oil is cheaper and actually affordable for your everyday people.

      the gas is still expanding at this point, and continues to do so a fair way down most exhaust pipes, the piston just pushes out the last little bit to ready it for fresh oxygenated air/fuel mix for the next power stroke

    • @dimesonhiseyes9134
      @dimesonhiseyes9134 7 років тому +8

      Christopher Williams to slightly expand on previous comment the exhaust could actually be burning and still continue to burn fuel through the entire exhaust pipe. depending on fuel air mixture rpm and load on engine.

    • @pulkitkanoje9082
      @pulkitkanoje9082 7 років тому +40

      It happens because of the pressure difference.. On the inside is the high pressure exhaust gases and on the other side of the valve is atmospheric pressure.. This drives the gases even before piston reaches the top

    • @ericveatch9819
      @ericveatch9819 4 роки тому +1

      The exhaust stroke blew me away. There was something odd I didn't expect. I always thought the pressure of the returning piston 'pushed out' the spent fuel. But take another look. It is not pushed out by the piston, it is drawn out by the exhaust valve. At first I thought I was fooling myself. I noticed the fluid leaving the valve at a greater velocity than in the area of the piston. This could be explained by a constant volumetric flow rate resulting in higher speed for a more narrow channel (like the rapids of a river). But compare the intake and exhaust strokes. You see this dynamic of faster flow rate near the intake valve. The discrepancy is more prominent in the exhaust stroke. It seems that in the exhaust stroke the escape of fluid is dominated by factors concerning the exhaust valve and less so the piston driving fluid out. This could be explained by a great differential pressure from the piston chamber to the exhaust system. There is clearly a greater pressure in the piston chamber than atmospheric pressure, but I didn't expect this to dominate the action of the piston. Crazy!

    I always though it was the upward stroke in the exhaust cycle that evacuate the burnt out gases, but it's clear the expansion wave continues into the exhaust cycle and it's what evacuates most of the hot gases. The exhaust cycle upward stroke removes very little from the cylinder. By the time the fuel valve opens up, the cylinder chamber must have have cooled down enough to create a vacuum which in turn pulls the fuel air mix in. This is much more complex than what I had ever imagined. Fascinating.

    • @clutchem
      @clutchem 4 роки тому +3

      Exactly my thoughts as well. However I can but feel the spark occurs a little late. Because it seems the explosion is just barely getting started as the piston is already on it way back down and the fuel air mixture is not getting a good burn before being forced out the cylinder. 🤷‍♂️

    • @davevandenbranden3309
      @davevandenbranden3309 4 роки тому +4

      Not only does the continued expansion of the burning fuel air mixture begin to evacuate the cylinder, it also aids in beginning to draw the next fresh charge into the cylinder. In a V8, for example, the intake and exhaust valves are both open simultaneously for a few crank degrees before and after piston is at top dead center at the end of the exhaust stroke. The intake valve opens before the exhaust valve finishes closing so that as the burned gasses are being scavenged from the cylinder, they start to draw fuel in from the intake runner.

      2-strokes run differently as they don't use valves, but rather opposing ports. a big intake port that mists and lubes up the lower end/crank case - then upwards thru 4 cylinder ports - then finally sucked out thru the 6 cylinder head intake ports to feed the air/oil/fuel mixture to the piston on the compression/ignition stroke. Then the power/exaust stroke and out a huge exaust port on the way to the expansion chamber/exaust pipe.

      Piston just moves more up and down " 2 strokes " not in a pivoting arm motion "four strokes"

    This is what Arthur C Clark meant when he said “Any sufficiently advanced piece of technology is indistinguishable from magic”.

      Kinda. It's always been my belief that Clark was describing the Outcome rather than the How To.
      When you go into a building,the doors open automatically. It can look like magic to someone not used to seeing tech like that

    I know this video is old but id just like to point out, the spark timing is so much more critical than you seem to think. You want the gas mixture to combust, NOT explode.keeping a safe combustion relies on the air / fuel ratio and the spark timing. an explosion happens sometimes, and its commonly known as "spark knock". In modern engines, there are actually little sensors that measure the vibration or sound pressure, and their sole purpose is to listen for spark knock, so that it can tell the computer to adjust the timing (or flash the check engine light if it can't fix itself by adjusting the timing) great video btw destin, keep killin it!

      No. The equipment their using was originally intended for wood working but thanks to modern alloys can be set up with stronger clutches, chucks and bits to allow them to process metals as well. Far from ideal tools for the job since metalworking tools probably cost about the same as modifying wood working tools to handle it. However the woodworking tools are aimed at wood that at it's highest density is as strong as the softest metal that's likely to be found in an engine.
      More like putting a lawnmower blade on an a fan to mow the lawn with it. Not exactly the right tool but close enough to get the job done with a lot of care.

      Subscribe to Roadking's channel and watch before giving a completely wrong comment as fact. The tools they use are for metalworking. Just smaller and cheaper. The lathe is from Harbor Freight.

      Yea that's great.
      Give these guys a run of a real shop and they wouldn't know what to do....🤔
      see the humor in that, I know guys like this.
      Back a few years ago, we got a Bridgeport and my dad was all over the place emotionally, "how many years I spent in the driveway filing a piece of aluminum and zip it's done in 10 minutes"...almost manic laughter for a second or 2 also 😂
      he could do great work by hand, you would think it was done in a machine.
      This was just an excellent vid for any type of techhead
