Whoever decided to add a progress bar to the sponsored portion deserves the same respect as whoever added the skip intro button on Netflix

Its insane how many ways there is to convert little explosions into spinny

[Buenopablito]

Dude I’m learning more about mechanics stuff with Donut than anything in my entire life.
This channel is pure gold.

Fun fact: Opposed piston engines were also used on the British Railways Type 55 ‘Deltic’ diesel locomotives. These were based of a prototype built by English Electric and could regularly run at 100 mph on the East Coast Mainline, making them worthy replacements for Gresley’s famous A4 steam locomotives.

Can we just have a little appreciation for the person who had to animate these engines? Simple and effective. Love it.

[danekane]

i love how in the animations of the engines the piston rods just noclip through the crankshaft

[Ben-exkv]

Honestly this is one of the best explanations of engine mechanics I've seen. I'm working on building a solar powered steam engine for green energy and this helped my understanding immensely!

[Super_Beast]

This was so well made, and clearly explained, plus the visual aid graphics are perfect for an amateur like me to easily understand the way these motors are designed to function. Found this video while trying to explain to my daughter what a rotary engine is. And I don't normally watch video's like this, not a huge car fan, but this video hit different lol. We watched the entire video start to finish and we both learned way more than expected. Impressive

It’s just so funny how Inline engines go:

1-cyl: Oldsmobile Curved Dash with 5bhp
2-cyl: Fiat 500 with 13bhp
3-cyl: Koenigsegg Gemera with 600bhp

[redouanbouziane]

Jerry: gives detailed explanation of different engine layouts
me: haha engine go suck squeeze bang blow

[Jacob-swfk]

This may be one of the most well researched video y'all ever made. Love it.

[goatz]

Donut media is the ONLY channel where I will actually sit thru the ads and enjoy them. Best yt channel ever made

[Csongor_Radai]

“I don’t think i missed any engine types”
Radial engines: Am i a joke to you?...

[ozan]

>Talks about inline-5 engines
>Doesnt mention audi quattro
Cmon, it literally shook the rallying world when it came out

[BMathiesen]

As a guy who loves working on cars, especially Hondas, not super duper experienced but have done some stuff but I never knew there were anything other then straight, V, and rotor engines. This was a very cool video and very informative! I Def learn a decent amount watching you guys.

[LFA]

Good video amazing knowledge but now I have a headache, just finished studying for my DMV renewal written test and now this too much info for one day. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for all your videos you guys put out. I been watching every single one of them and enjoying every single one of them. Thank

[TheMrTonk]

That moment when you realize that he forgot that a radial engine has been in a car

[Spherz]

So this is basically Turning into science garage, I like it!

[unknownbrazilian]

I'm from Brazil, and I've learned a lot of stuff from this channel, even in a foreign language, I've learned more than in Portuguese, thanks a million!

[orinmillar]

Jerry does such a good job with the ad skits, making them interesting and enjoyable to watch, one of the only people who makes me want to watch sponsorship ads
