I felt at 3:55 my soul was transcending. Like I had become a better version of myself after watching this video. Thank you for that Learn Engineering. I wouldn't be who I was after this 4 minutes of life changing experience.

You put Vin Diesel in a petrol car to make it fast and furious.

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.

@1:43 both engines uses fuel injector not just diesel engines but gasoline engine uses spark plug while diesel uses glow plug

[montesamapping]

Clear and comprehensive!

Good job!

[thedarkknight]

lovely and wonderful info. Thank you so much. looking forward to next video. :D

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.
