When starting a car, you turn the key in the ignition. Electricity flows from the battery to the starter motor, which begins to spin. This action helps the engine to start and the car to run. Finally, the fuel is ignited and the car is ready to be driven.
Only for older cars (around 90s) With newers ones, (anti theft) key sends signal to the keylock, the keylock sends signal to the cars ECU and after initialization, it sends power to the cranking system.
@@jwstolk high voltage? Nothing to do with that. It's standard 12v battery for all cars, and only difference is the amperage which is around 100amp for high performance cars.
@greego5952 we learn animation in my engineering class. Obviously not at this level but there's definitely engineers who can animate like this. 3d modelling and animation is crucial for engineers.
Ok, the 1st part is wrong. The battery is always putting power out. The key is a switch that bridges the connection of the battery to your starting solenoid with, in terms, sends power to the stater
There are actually a few things wrong here. The signal from the ignition is not sent to the battery, it is sent to the solenoid on the starter to close the connection to the battery. The burning inside the cylinder of an engine is not an explosion, if it wasn't explosion, your engine would break very quickly. It is a controlled barn. Thirdly, there is not a controlled burn on every stroke of a cylinder. It happens on every fourth stroke. That is why it is called a 4 cycle engine. Edit: Guys, I get it. I said barn instead of burn. I'm a dum dum
I'm definitely traumatized, the animation shows the engine 180° out of time. The explosion happens when the pistons are at the top of the cylinders, not the bottom.
@@MaximizeC32 electric circuits don't work by "it sends a signal to a battery and magic happens and the car starts." Actually. A better description of what happens is that, the key in the start position sends an electric current to an electric switch, that then enables the battery to power the starter thus starting the engine.
Cool video but a more accurate description is the key connects power from the battery from one side of solenoid to the other which makes the starter engage and turn the engine over. The pistons go through 4 strokes . It first sucks in a mixture of fuel and air into the cylinder, the intake valve is closed and the air/fuel mixture is compressed, the air and fuel in cylinder are then ignited, leading to the exhaust stroke where the burnt fuel is let out of the exhaust port. This happens over and over until the key is turned to the off position and disengaging the coil.
Fun fact, if you run out of fuel, you can always use your starter motor to move your car out of dangerous situations, like if you were stuck in the middle of an intersection, but you would most definitely need to repair the starter after such an incident, and possibly recharge your battery 😂
Hey Zack. 8 year mechanic and appreciate your films. Wanted to let you know on this topic, more accurately: “Turn key, immobilizer/security system verifies transponder in the key, and when authorization is successful, allows the starter to temporarily draw power from the battery so it can crank the engine” Aside from the beginning of your video, everything is great, knowing that you’re trying to keep things simple. Just… the 12volt battery doesn’t receive or send signals cause it’s just a plain ol’ dumb battery lol
It's not a fire and it's not quite an explosion it is a combustion caused by a compressed mix of air and fuel the spark ignites the mix and pushes the piston down rotating the crankshaft which attaches to the transmission then to the wheels
Last few weeks, I tried searching detailed video on how car engines work and I didn't see good detailed videos. But in this 30 second shorts amazed me. It shows what I really want. Thank you sir Zack! ❤
There is a lot more to it I'm a mechanic see the intake valve opens to let fuel in and the Piston comes up and the intake valve closes and then the gas and air combust shooting the Piston down and then the Piston comes back up and the exhaust valve opens and releases the burned fumes boom 4 stroke internal combustion engine
@@Turles811as a mechanic I can agree with this. The intake valve opens because when the piston is BDC (bottom dead center) it creates suction which opens the valve letting the gas vapor in
Sometimes I think we lose sight of the ingenuity of the combustion engine. It literally makes the world go round - it’s probably one of the most crucial inventions humanity dreamed up, second only to the Internet itself.
Technically, the key doesn't send a signal to the battery. It takes power, and sends it to the PCM as well as the solenoid on the starter. The solenoid then closes and completes the circuit between the battery cable and the starter motor itself. The solenoid also activated the Bendix which engages the starter's gear to the flywheel or flex plate. When you release the key, it snaps back to the "run" position and removes power from the solenoid which then removes battery power from the starter motor, and a spring pushes the Bendix back away from the flywheel/flex plate. When in cranking or run, the ignition switch also sends battery power to the ignition coil, or in newer cars the PCM which then sends timed signals to the individual coils or coil packs to be stepped up and sent to the spark plugs.
The ignition doesn't send a signal. Energy will travel regardless. It just acts as a switch to prevent the electricity from moving. Usually there are 4 circuits involved in what systems are powered based on the keys location.
What actually happens is when you twist the key, it sends a signal to the starter relay and the starter solenoid pops out and starts to spin the flex plate.
He forgot to mention that when the starter turns the flywheel, the flywheel will also turn the belt which is what makes the cylinder going up and down allowing petrol to enter and combust and exit through the exhaust.
When you turn the key to the first detent it closes a loop on the battery disconnect relay. All systems get power after this, the fuel pump primes the fuel system, diesel heater coil may start heating up if it’s a diesel, the radio, headlights etc. turn on. When you twist the key beyond the detent it will close a loop on the starter relay which then powers the starter motor. The ignition does not send signals, it close a loop, only then does the cars computer come to life, which can actually send and receive signals.
The start signal is actually sent to the engine control module then the module determines if the engine speed is at 0 then it will send a signal to the starter solenoid of the starter. Spark plugs also don't make sparks the ignition coil does that then sends it through the spark plug.
The same function in some bikes is done by a "kickstart " . The kickstart mechanically rotates the shaft while in a car it is done so by electrical power
Or in newer cars there’s actually a contactor relay that controls the starter motor that’s controlled by the car’s computer which is the case for any car that doesn’t start with a key in the ignition and just has a button or is a hybrid! :)
