How an Engine Works

Показать описание
Here's how an engine works to power your car.

In this video, a 1ZZ-FE engine from a Toyota Corolla is taken apart to show what is inside and how it works. It first starts with an overview of major engine components, how it works, then goes into the disassembly of the engine, followed by a detailed breakdown of the individual components themselves.

The internal combustion engine makes power from the explosion of gasoline in a cylinder. The piston in the cylinder will slide down, pushing a connecting rod around the crankshaft (crank-slider mechanism) which creates a rotational torque. That torque is sent to the transmission before going to the wheels.

At the top of the engine are valves that control the inlet and outlet of air, fuel, spark and exhaust. The valves are controlled by camshafts, which are linked to the crankshaft through a timing chain. This will keep the timing between the valves and piston in the combustion chamber consistent for efficient burning of the 4 stroke engine.

You are probably my favorite channel. Straight to the point, no like and subscribe, no intro, no bs. Amazing.

I sware every mechanic on youtube should learn from this guy. I’ve always thought it was the pistons the heart of the car but it’s actually the crankshaft. This guy is the most honest and explains everything well and simplified

This is the most informative video I have ever seen. No fluff. No "I love my voice" BS. Just information. Well done.

It amazes me all that goes into a car engine. After watching these videos, I have much more appreciation for my car.

If you want to learn really quickly about engines, this is quite simply the best video on YouTube.

Not only did the words in your description not miss a beat, but the filming was timed perfectly and did not involve us watching you unscrew every bolt as you went. A perfect video!

Excellent job with the explanations! For a layman like myself, I need to actually SEE what is going on. When I'm reading a book about my favorite cars and I'm reading all of these crazy terms, my brain is ready to explode. But when I can actually see what you are talking about, it just clicks. It's kind of like the fact that it's easier to remember someone's name when you can put a face to it. Thank you very much for this tutorial, I think I will be watching it many times!

I couldn't get any explanation more detailed and precise than this. I loved how you explained everything in the video of the transmission as well; though that one is not easily understood just after watching once...but I understand later after watching several times.
Thank you so much. I'll always keep following ✌🇺🇬🇺🇬

Thank you for making that video. It genuinely sucks when you have no one (in my family, in my case) to introduce me to the basics of how stuff works, especially things of everyday life like cars and engines. So I really appreciate it. Thanks !
