Engine Displacement - Explained

A "back to basics", hands on explanation about engine displacement, size, number of pistons/cylinders, etc. Cubic inches vs. Liters vs. C.C.'s

You're a really good teacher. I came to this video wondering: "What does CC's mean in a motorcycle engine?", yet I left here knowing everything about how the cylinders work for every vehicle and how to calculate it. I know nothing about you or your profession but I would guess that you teach professionally. Cheers for all the information and your efforts.

very slow, informative and detailed way to explain this thanks for taking the time to do it 👍🏼

This was neat it was very informative very brief explaination. I wish more people see this .

Excellent video. Put It in the vault of best YouTube videos of all time!

I’ve always heard my gearhead buddies talking about “no replacement for displacement” - now I really get it! Thanks!

[THEnelsonbruhs]

You described this way better than any of my flight instructors

Love the dirty hands while discussing the math. This guy can teach and he can wrench! Great lesson.

Thank you so much, liked and subscribed! I will be rewatching this with my 15 year old son. This video is the very best I've ever seen this explained, you took the time to assume nothing of the viewer and carefully explained every term, measurement where they come from and how it's all put together. A+++ video!
Shared also with my wife who teaches math in middle school, I'm sure she'll find this useful to highlight a real world application of the geometry she teaches. It's so much better when the math concepts aren't left to abstract rote memorization of formulas for seemingly no real purpose to the learner, rather the student can see that these concepts are in fact real in the "real world".

Thank you. Now I understand exactly what is the displacement in the engine is.

Making engines fun is no easy task but you did it with no problem! good vijeo!

Amazing knowledge. Now I know why my engine is a 3.6 Liter

Perfectly explained and even though animations and diagrams give a good visual representation in videos your demonstration with the actual engine makes it absolutely clear with what’s going on inside - good job.
I feel a bit overly critical in saying this but maybe the suggestion that the crankshaft is moving the piston via the connecting rod should be described as the piston turning the crankshaft through the rod. Without the context of combustion in the cylinder causing the piston movement somebody new to this may be left wondering why the crankshaft needs to move that piston. Nonetheless, the video is still explaining displacement accurately as the title promises. 👍

Thanks so much for this video! I learned a lot. Especially since it's interactive with the parts.

[manuelbibares]

im a starter on engine but with the way it was explained, , , well understood, thanks a lot

[MrShanebizzle]

Thanks for the clear explanation! Finally get it now!

[KarlHerzog]

Very simple. Very easy to understand. Good on ya

[GunsNGames]

Thank you so much for explaining man! Very informative. Can't wait to get my 4.3L Chevy.

[antoineaaron]

If your finger tips don’t look like his, don’t try to tell me ANYTHING about an engine😂😂

[supernovapr]

Great teacher. Explained it in detail and made it very simple. Showed us with the actual stuff, how it works. Thanks <3

[MrAshwin]

This was a great explanation my friend. You have now made it really clear to me what displacement means. I create online learning for a living, and you did a fantastic job of teaching me.
