Carburetors Do They Have a FUTURE??

- As vehicle technology advances, the future of carburetors seems to be in a precarious position. Since more than a century ago, carburetors have been an essential part of internal combustion engines, combining fuel and air to power moving objects. But as fuel injection technology has improved and there has been a demand for higher fuel economy and lower emissions, the use of conventional carburetors has gradually decreased in favour of more advanced substitutes.
Carburetors could have a bright future if they can be made to work with electric and hybrid automobiles. Even while these cars mostly run on electricity, some hybrid models still have tiny internal combustion engines that they use to provide additional power. In these situations, innovative carburetor designs might contribute to bridging the gap between conventional and contemporary automotive technology by optimising fuel economy and emissions while the engine is running.
Alternately, niche applications where the simplicity and mechanical elegance of carburetion are valued, such as historic automobile restoration and off-road vehicles, may give carburetors fresh life. Collectors and enthusiasts frequently choose the classic appeal of carbureted engines, and specialised carburetors may still be created to satisfy their needs. In conclusion, carburetors may still be used in a few niches of the automobile industry, either as a bridge to the future or as a reminder of the past, despite the fact that the majority of the automotive industry has abandoned them.
Have a great day

I would Hope to see carburetors again in automotive use someday. So simple and bulletproof technology. Even cheaper what it comes to fixing it.
Absolutely!
At least, fuel injection for 2-stroke motors is really strange and rare beast. Crankshaft still should be used to suck in air, but that air should contain lubrication oil for crankshaft as it can't just stay there in liquid form as it would overflow into combustion chamber. So at least we need "carburetor for oil" while gas being injected right into combustion chamber. Or ANOTHER ONE injector this time to spray oil onto crankshaft moving parts! Then add fuel pump to transport fuel to the intake of injector and making some initial pressure. And then we need pretty high-power electric system not just for ignition but for fuel and oil injectors, pump and electronics controlling it.
Not sure it would be good for environment at all as these things will break down, no means to repair them so they just go to trash and new ones are produced constantly just to last another couple of years...
Il faut reconnaître, qu' un carburateur est simple dans sa conception, et facilement démontable et réparable, pour le nettoyer.
Contrairement à un système d' injection.
You're absolutely right! Fuel injection for 2-stroke motors is indeed a unique and complex system. It's quite fascinating how engineers have tackled the challenges posed by these engines to ensure efficient combustion and lubrication.
The concept of injecting fuel directly into the combustion chamber is a significant departure from traditional carburetion, where the air-fuel mixture is prepared in a separate device (the carburetor) before entering the engine. In the case of 2-stroke engines, you've highlighted the added complexity of ensuring proper lubrication for the crankshaft, which is crucial for its smooth operation.
The need for an "oil injector" or a separate lubrication system is a valid consideration when implementing fuel injection in 2-strokes. And you're spot on about the increased demands on the electrical system for managing both the fuel and oil injection, along with ignition and other electronic controls.
It's a great example of how engineering solutions evolve to meet the specific requirements and challenges of different engine types. Thanks for sharing your insights, and it's always exciting to see how technology continues to advance in the world of engines!

@therepairspecialist please how can I get the clip of the spinning globe at 0:22? I saw it on some website recently, would love to use it for my own Website. Thanks.
It’s on a editing software package called CANVA. That’s where I got it 👍
I hope they do have a future...
Yeh me to mate
wrong. , electric.............2024 is out ..........computer over carberator is dependent on encapsulated functions and is not field repariable. and great expence. a loss of personal sovereignty . humans must be standalone and part of the whole.
all animal colonies that survive are both the colony and the individual. for hope of evolution and advancement.....
