    This animation explains the working principle of turbocharged Diesel engines and turbos in general.
    Contents
    1) Alfred Büchi and its invention
    2) Aircraft, cars and boats with turbochargers
    3) 4-stroke Diesel engine as "naturally aspirated engine"
    4) Engines at low and high RPM
    5) Basic components (turbine wheel, compressor wheel, shaft)
    6) Converting thermal energy into kinetic energy
    7) Turbo within context (Diesel engine)
    8) Other components (intercooler, wastegate)

    I love your videos. You are so kind to produce these and share them freely. If I may make one suggestion for improvement. A few words that you use are difficult to understand because of the way you pronounce them. For clarity I turned on the captions. Sadly, the captions must have been made by some automatic program because it too has had difficulty trying to understand and it has put the wrong words in.
    As an example;
    at 0:20 you say "the axle's gas produced by the engine"
    The captions read: "the axle gay ass . . . ."
    at 1:15 you say "boats airplanes and cars" and the captions read: "boots airplanes and cost"
    You will improve your videos greatly by taking the time to manually type in your captions to show the correct words. In this way, the occasional word that is misunderstood in the narration will be cleared up and the video will not be spoiled.
    (oops got cut off before I ended here)
    But like I said, Great video, great illustrations and generous soul for sharing your knowledge and time - thank you.

    • @Budoo6
      @Budoo6 Před 9 lety

      Supercharger is a crank. Turbo forces air into the engine...which could fuck up everything if you OVER DO IT.

    • @DMStraylight
      @DMStraylight Před 9 lety +5

      Nathan Gray Not quite... both mechanical superchargers and turbochargers (originally called turbosuperchargers) serve the same function: to increase the amount of air fed to the engine and thereby increase horsepower, but they go about it different ways. As explained in the video, a turbocharger uses the vehicle's exhaust gasses to spin the compressor turbine, while a supercharger's turbine is mechanically attached to the engine via a belt, chain or crank.
      Both have advantages and drawbacks. Turbochargers take time to spin up to operating speeds, creating the phenomenon of "turbo lag". While superchargers don't have this problem (their turbine speed is always directly proportional to engine RPM), but the additional energy needed to spin the compressor turbine creates a parasitic drag on the engine's horsepower output.
      Either method (any plenty of other things besides) can damage an engine if done improperly, but most engines can be turbocharged or supercharged for a moderate power increase without risk, and indeed, more manufacturers are turning to turbochargers as a cheap, efficient way of making power in small-displacement engines straight off the factory floor (see: Subaru, Ford Eco-Boost, etc.). Thanks to the small displacement of these new generation of turbochargers and efficient exhaust routing and engine mapping, modern turbos spool up to full speed very quickly and suffer very little lag.
      Thanks to the increased air in the engine producing a cleaner, more complete burn of the fuel, turbochargers are also being used by manufacturers to lower emissions and improve fuel efficiency in order to meet increasingly-strict mandates on both fronts.
      Why would you want a turbocharger? Well, aside from more power to go faster, forced induction can also be used to compensate for the power deficit at high altitude. Obviously this is a very common application in radial- or inline-engine aircraft, but it's equally applicable for people who live up in the mountains. Your naturally aspirated engine might make its listed 200 horsepower on the California coast... but in Denver it's probably only making about 170.

  • @Syncopic1235
    @Syncopic1235 Před 10 lety +9

    They both do the same function, but a supercharger takes the power to rotate from a belt connecting it to the engine, while exhaust air rotates the turbocharger, hence, they supercharger is effective at all RPM while the turbo needs a bit high RPMs, consequently, turbo lag exists.

    • @sethh8892
      @sethh8892 Před 6 lety

      Tareq Arar so if you have both supercharger and turbocharger that means that you would have Boost at all time and even more at higher RPM? Hell why don't we get a V8 supercharged and turbocharged with nitrous! What the hell could possibly go wrong?!?!
