    Thank you so much, this is eye opening. I'm learning a lot from this channel, it deserves a five star rating.
  • It would seem that this is the reverse, C.R=Vtotal/Vclearance 2:50 Thank you for the explanations !

    Hi there! Nice job making these animations! There are also 2-stroke engines, which should get some attention too, because they also have some pros and cons, for example most of them have better acceleration.

    My question is can I put diesel in my coffee to make myself more efficient
  • @1:43 both engines uses fuel injector not just diesel engines but gasoline engine uses spark plug while diesel uses glow plug
  • This is easily one of the best YouTube channels. Thanks for all these amazing videos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
  • Point of clarification (correct me if I am wrong). Modern gasoline engines use a fuel injector along with the spark plug, as opposed to diesel engines that only need a fuel injector (and heater glow plugs for cold starts). And of course, carburetors were used before injectors to mix the fuel with incoming air, also requiring a spark plug.
