    This video is perfect. Leave it to an oil company to explain diesel in less than 2mins
  • @vinko9.
    Finally a simple explanation on how diesel engines work! I completely understood petrol engines, but diesels were always enigma for me
  • @YelpBullhorn
    It’s always baffled me how something so volatile and light as petrol requires a spark, and yet something so unreactive and heavy as diesel doesn’t.
  • @Nafeesdrmc
    I remember the hours I spent during my school days to understand how diesel engines work. I had only some images to support the theoretical portion of the book to understand it. Seeing this video brings back all those theoretical aspects to life, in a much more easily understandable manner. Thanks, Shell!

    just imagine how millions of these combustions are happening each minute. and without them, we would still be spinning cotton by hand, and riding horses to work.
  • Piston mechanics and physics explained in under two minutes.... impressive.
  • @mpa1931
    One of the best animations I've seen
  • @matthewvwuk
    A very informative video indeed. I like the animations, they really make it look very realistic! Now for two more of these informative videos complete with animations on how 2-stroke petrol & diesel engines work please. Thank you.
  • @bkehlin
    I literally watched two different videos, about 15 minutes each, and this explained it quicker, and clearer.
  • @obere7999
    Simplicity informative and understandable.
  • Now that I learnt something from you Shell, maybe I don't feel so bad with how much it cost me filling up my tank. Thanks faceless multi-national company!
  • @carlosvipe2765
    Living and learning. That Diesel man was another genious inventor, a revolutionary in the human's history!
  • @NadimKhan-vp4un
    Nicely explained.straight to the point,rather than a lengthy videos.
