      It was much easier when carburetors were around.
      1 : 2 camshaft and crankshaft ratio was done with 2 gears that meshed together or it might have a short chain rotating them in sequence.
      I grew up stacking all kinds of small & big block engines.
      Don't even remember how many I've built.
      ( Gas was 0.75 a gallon back then )
      I remember when toilet bowl injection came out and hated it then. Today it's even worse with multi port fuel injection.
      More parts = more opportunities to break down.
      Offshore we use inboard 2 stroke diesels , 12 cylinders, 71 cubic inches each. ( Detroit Diesel 12/71's & 16/92's ) They don't even have camshafts or timing chain/belts.
      Many are both supercharged and turbo combined.

I rolled my eyes 🙄 and thought, oh goodie, I can pretend to know while he shows me now…except when he showed me this video, for the first time in 20+years of driving and having a vehicle, I was able to understand, see, and connect what these things were and how they worked together and gave me an idea of how complex a working engine can be, yet how simple it is when you go step by step and see how each part has its place in the whole process. Love this. Thank you!

So in short, the more problems one has with their vehicle, the more they know about it, the more they know than anyone else who has a newer vehicle, because some newer ones are less likely to have a problem, and they'll know what's wrong, obviously, doesn't mean to say they can fix it themselves though, that's obviously when a trained engineer comes into it.

Today's the first time I've watched it and finally understood and comprehended everything and wow what a great feeling it is. Bit of a slow learner, but getting there gradually and enjoying every step of the way! Thanks for this video it really has helped a lot over my automotive journey, and I feel like if I can learn this, anyone can. So to anyone who's reading this who finds this video daunting.

      A couple hundred hours in Blender (my 3D software) alone. The research and script writing is a good 40-60 hours before modeling even begins. It's not the complexity of the model only, but also making sure it's accurate and works how it should. You can fudge things with 2D drawings, but in 3D it has to be the right shape or things won't make contact when they should, etc. It's a real functioning machine, basically.

    The fact that you use easy to understand terminology paired with the visuals makes it very easy to comprehend. Thank you so much for this video! I finally understand how a combustion engine works!

    Well done! For many of us, it took years to gain this knowledge of how all the systems work together. This is literally the first time I have seen a well crafted video explaining the interaction of all the major systems.

    - IF YOU or someone you know works at a major company in an interesting field -- major auto brands, tech, aerospace, engineering, biology, etc -- LET'S GET CONNECTED. I want to work with your engineers to make elevated content.

      How does hydropower operate, how does its electromechanical components & hydromechanical components work, and how the power generated from the power plant is stepped up in the substation and transmitted from the transmission lines to the load center. Explaining this mechanism in such a manner (through animation)would be a miracle to many esp. engineering students.

      I've work at Honda as engineer now and have previously been at Boeing and BWXT. Love to connect. Just sent you a Linkedin request.
      I think you should make another series entirely for automotive or another video going in detail on specific components, like how the catalytic converter works with exhaust flow and cleaning, different turbo chargers and recycled exhaust, braking for hybrid charging, and how the starter actually stars the engine cycle.

      Hi, I'm a high school teacher at a technical/trade school in Argentina where I teach future automotive technicians. I would like to dubb/voice Over this video for them in spanish since I teach combustion engines. May I have your permission?

      Hello , I study at a marine engineering university in Iran and I hope to see more videos like this in near future . Because this video help very much in understanding of how engine works .
      I love to see more videos with the subjects like :
      2 stroke engine ,
      Ignition in engine without spark plugs ,
      Diesel engine which is commonly used in cargo ships , oil tanker ships and so on ...

    This was an amazing video that was so simple and clear! I homeschool my 17 year old autistic son who really enjoys learning about car and engine restoration. We both learned a lot from this video. Thanks so much

    This is so cool. I work with auto parts all day. I just didn't know much about them. Don't have to, as you only need to be able to find something by a part number, but to know how they all work together is amazing.

    thanks so much! I've been trying to fix up an old '85 nissan pickup but still don't know a lot about how engines work, so this was really great. I appreciate how short and to the point your explanations were :)

  • @francisrobindaine-duchesne6095

    I just fell in love with such a beautiful machine. It's well designed, simple, efficient. Everything makes sense.
